the Zoners

Um, i'll just want to point out that the GC planet is not dockable and not really seriously inhabited. Its an RP gimmick, nothing else. So it can't really be called a "GC planet", not considering there are Outcasts and Blood Dragons on it also. Its an in-RP experiment. I think you're getting a bit upset over what is essentially not really a big deal, to be honest. Its hardly like they're a superpower at all. Cardamine addiction was quite heavy among the Kusari youth even in 800 A.S (vanilla lore) and it is now 817 A.S. We're not stuck in vanilla, things do change. Otherwise what the hell is the point of doing anything at all? I might as well just leave disco if things are going to remain static with every single faction indefinitely.

The Kusari government and navy is massively tied up in a war with the Bretonians, and they are winning. This leaves the GC and BD to consolidate and grow exponentially while they have loads of breathing space and less pressure. It also allows the Hogosha and Farmers Alliance to take advantage of the considerably lower naval presence to build a couple more bases, and Samura is taking advantage of the lower lawful presence in order to step up its funding and attacks on its enemies. The GMG is doing the same. The same thing is happening in Rheinland and Bretonia, and even Liberty to some extent.

Other factions are being weakened, such as Bretonia, Rheinland, the Junkers to some extent, the Outcasts more than the Corsairs are being weakened somewhat, the Lane Hackers are pretty much the same. The Hessians, while their territory has expanded, are struggling in the face of Wild and Corsair assaults to some degree. The Corsairs also are struggling from Nomad and Wild attacks (there are rumours of a treaty in the works between Hessians and Corsairs in order to fend off the Wild).

ok that makes me feel better, from what i kept hearing. every factions was growing in power exponentially. i agree with the reasons you put forth in the growing in power of certain factions at the weakening of others and vice versa.

that being said, i would imagine the Zoners would be weakened somewhat from the constant attacks of the nomads right? at least in certain parts of Sirius. on one side they would seem to flourish while on the other the nomads pose a significant threat. that is unless I'm over exaggerating the power of the nomads.

does that make sense?
