Several nations so far, being The merfolk Alarai [small galactic standing] The superior-magic people of goodiness and perfection Iscandarians [small-medium galactic standing] The backwater humans [small galactic standing] The unseeing Valkians [small galactic standing] The pissed-off Septonians [small/maybe medium galactic standing] The proud Warrior race of Draconians [no standing at all; not yet introduced; Duck's archenemy in terms of races] The human-like Nouvellians, primitive as if they're in the 1800/1900s, currently in conference with VALKIAN, HUMAN, and ISCANDARIAN [small galactic standing] and uh... The kill-all Etherals [small/medium galactic standing] And the Hivemind [small galactic standing] Currently, the Iscandarians pissed off the Septonians by shooting at their shipwrecked peoples because they were scared and didn't want to talk to the army surrounding them, so them two are at war. The Valkians, Humans, and Iscandarians are all meeting upon Nouvelle, and conversing with their Queen. The Valkians currently have the highest relation with the Nouvellians. The Iscandarians declared war on Humanity for being too violent, and tried to take their homeworld by force. They were destroyed and beaten back by humanity and a couple of unseen allies. About half a dozen different nations are in orbit around Nouvelle. That's about it.
