Blight
One of the four major powers on the northern side of the Engal Wall, and the one butting right up against the wall itself, Blight currently holds the preeminent position at the top of the pile.
It also holds an impossibly tenuous peace between itself and the other three. Against any single other power north of the Engal Wall, and blight would be more than fine. With alliances up in the air, however, it must rely on diplomatic merit for the time being.
While Blight buys time at home, it has been growing its network of colonies in the rest of the world. A few in the Crown Lands, a handful in Alkebu, and a couple scattered elsewhere in the world, Off-Planet, they have majority control of Khronus. Which they earned through a bit of gunboat diplomacy with the mining guilds that had been living on the planet for the last few centuries.
While Blight's homeland doesn't give it much space for expansion (and by extension, chances to increase its military and industrial power), its wide net of colonies makes up for that. Those in the crownlands will regularly see airships bearing Blight's markings streaming overhead, laden with men and material from foreign lands.
Militarily, Blight relies on its expansive fleet of Aeros to project its power across the world. Its favored tactic is to deploy highly trained spec-ops squads, under cover of night or with active camouflage, to hamstring the enemy before the general advance.
It is also one of the few city states where the Decanting facilities remain almost completely in Organic hands, and that grip remains tight due to the lifeline that the factories churning out Ushabti provide due to the comparatively low population in the area. They need all the hands that they can get.
