Really, at this point in the timeline, Steiner and Davion should be one power: the FedCom. I get why they split it, but there really shouldn't be any conflicts at all along that shared border. A Steiner/Davion Alliance should be an absolute no-brainer.
An FRR alliance isn't lore-based, but since the majority of the worlds are Kurita, as mentioned before, we really shouldn't have a big beef with the FRR. That should be a natural alliance as well.
I could see us having a cease-fire with Marik, but from a game standpoint, that makes little sense for them: they have only three borders and we have our hands full against Jade Falcon, Wolf, FRR, Kurita, Davion (in theory, at least), and Marik; why WOULDN'T they attack? It's certainly our longest border. If we could have a non-aggression pact with them, great, but I wouldn't expect it to last.
Jade Falcon...yeah, they're here to punch a hole through us.
Wolf...maybe - they can slide through the FRR and not have to focus on two fronts. Also, players who know some of the lore might be willing to join in a non-aggression pact with Steiner.
Kurita: come on - we pretty much have to attack Kurita. They're almost in the same situation we are, with Steiner, FRR, Ghost Bears, Smoke Jaguars, and Davion on their borders. The benefit here is that we just need to hold the line while Davion attacks that long border, another reason why an alliance with Davion should be a given.
