This is not unusual my friend it is the way most worlds go at the start. As the first players to join the world are placed in the middle (or the core) and then it expands out the way. The core alliances are here the longest so in a young world are normally the strongest. As the world progresses other alliances (known as rim or satellite alliances) will become stronger and begin to challenge the core alliance, as death did with lynx or TU with DOW. In fact I am pretty sure BS are the only original core alliance left at this stage.
THanks for the help, I think I understand now, and soon rim aliances will be getting powerful, and then bla, and then it will be boring for a month, and then war will wreak havoc, which is the stage we're in, and ya.
