"Sub-Clan/Nation" is an unofficial term to refer to a set of usually same-clan/nation (depending on format) cards of different grades who share a card title, with a playstyle focused around their members alone. Aside from Sub-Clans/Nations, there are also "Archetypes", a set of cards whose support members do not share the same card name or title as the main card, and "Series", a set of cards similar to Sub-Clans in that they share a card title, but whose abilities do not specifically require a member of the same card title but are rather connected through lore.
Sub-Clans/Nations can fit into two categories: "Complete" and "Incomplete". "Complete" Sub-Clans/Nations are those who have enough members to make the main 50-card deck solely out of its members alone, regardless of a card's viability. "Incomplete" Sub-Clans/Nations are those that have multiple members throughout the different main-deck Grades, however the Sub-Clan itself does not have enough members to make a deck solely of that Sub-Clan/Nations.
All Sub-Clans/Nations, both Complete and Incomplete, must have members sharing the same card title, be of varying grades, and require other members for their card abilities.
Sub-Clans/Nations were officially introduced in Cardfight!! Vanguard: Season 2, and became prominent in Season 3 and Season 4.
