One cannot begin to effectively articulate the gravity of this week's FRONTERN without considering its most intense subject. It is foolish to have ignored for so long the formation of two major political factions within the region. One formed by the puppet-states and allies of the Kentazi Bloc and the other the western conquerors which form the Creuian Imperial Regime. Although it is clear that tensions between the two groups are yet to simmer, from the success of the Pinochet-esk coup by the C.I.R. to secure Creui the position of WA Delegate and the short-lived nature of the attempted removal of the region's major powers by Kentazistan themselves, it is apparent that as it stands, the chips fall in favour of Creui.
In spite of this, it cannot be stressed enough that during the FRONTERN it was precisely the above competition that imbued the conflicted factions to become stronger and provide for their people in a way the other docile and submissive states of our region have failed to do.

During the Front's boom in size since the previous FRONTERN, it has been of great satisfactions to those nations with dire allegiances to the region that we have accommodated for such a number of members. What is worrying about this statistic, however, is that it would appear to some that there are those nations within our region, veterans and rookies alike, that believe joining The United Front to be the end of their time in the international playing-field, as if it was the region, a group of nations, which was to facilitate their isolationism.
We will see their lacks of commitment rear their heads in no great span of time and when it does, the Administration of The United Front will not be lax in reprimanding these dead-weights.

It was explained by Creui and those associates of theirs which were painstakingly selected to participate in what would come to be known in the C.I.R. as "Operation Tordesillas" that the period of excessve growth elaborated upon above was not suitable for codifying as great and indicator of lore as the region map. However, negotiations are to take place once the Front's populace has plateaued between the Officers regarding the political clout of the nations which remain.

The United Front is a region of nations. It is therefore in its nature to be substantiated by political discourse; it is no surprise, after-all, that the two warring factions sit opposite each other in their policy and ethics. Thus, it was jarring to those in sync with the bullish, high-octane nature of internal and international bureaucratic relations that there were many nations who refused to make their positions known and, futhermore, that there were even those who outright propositioned against the discussion of ethical and political issues. The former of these two sub-sects are irritating, but the latter will not be tolerated as it is the nature of both The United Front as a communion of nations and the nature of humans as beings as conflict-prone proponents of ideas and as such, political discourse is to be encouraged and engaged in more frequently.
