The United States, Canada, the Soviet Union, the Greater German Reich (Germany and the territories that it occupied during World War II), the United Kingdom, and Japan are the only other powers when the Race's colonization fleet of 80-100 million settlers arrives. Humanity and The Race still jockey for advantages over each other.
