One major problem I see is that the Rheinland lawfuls are always in Hamburg or Braunschweig, at least they have been when I've been around lately.
LWB-wise specifically, all the problems Synth Foods has doesn't help. They have 0 bases, have to bribe the RFP for their ID, and can't get their IFF at the same place as said ID. Not to mention about half the lawfuls around can pirate them. Then there's the fact that despite the lore talking about how widespread synth paste is, no one in space ever admits to eating it.
There's a similar problem with the VF - everyone seems to hate the government, even the lawfuls.
Unioner wise, well, they did lose their main area of piracy. Then, from what I gather, if they visit Texas (one jump away), they get yelled at. I have no ideas here.
