Faction

A faction is an independent political body representing some geographic space. The Earth's population hovers around 11 billion, while that of the rest of the solar system can be numbered no more than a few tens of thousands, all clustered around Luna and Mars. Nations are listed in order of their Valdez Coefficient rating, which ranks a nation's strength according to a wide number of qualities.

Earth Factions
While there are currently more than 384 independent nations on Earth, the major political factions with the power, resources and political will to extend their influence offworld can only be numbered few among those. Due to the influence of the Mechanism, there is no longer violent conflict upon the Earth.
