Great Powers

The Great Powers are the Tasnica Republic, the Kingdom of Guardia, the Esper Union and the Scandian League. They are the most powerful nations in the Web and wield tremendous political and economic influence. It is the interplay between these four powers that largely determine the 'Kupopolitic' of the tetrapolar world.

Some historians have ascribed different periods during which one power or the other seemed more dominant. The time around the Omnisent conflict is largely seen as a time of Guardian dominance. The Esper Union forged the Fascist Pact during the Age of Imperialism, however, and during that time was seen as the leading power. The Scandian League's stunning military victories at the start of the Leviathan War made it (very briefly) the ascendant in the Web. And, as the joke has it, the Tasnicans won the Leviathan War. When this period of Tasnican dominance ended (or even if it has) is hotly debated, and largely depends on who you ask. Some have gone so far as to claim that the reign of the Great Powers is approaching its end.
