On the contrary, our alliance is the strongest known. The Steiner/Davion alliance occupies the most planets in the Inner Sphere by over double any other house. And these are well defended too - the relative house members per planet we own is second only to the FRR (which is only because their entire house occupies less than 3% of the Inner Sphere).
It is your choice to join us, or yield before us...
Hmmm...
Federated Suns: "500+" star systems
Draconis Combine: "approx. 350" star systems
Capellan Confederation: "ca. 217" star systems
Free Worlds League: "330+" star systems
Lyran Commonwealth: "over 300" star systems
Free Rasalhague Republic: "80+" star systems
Total: ~1,777 star systems
Though...

The Inner Sphere is a region of interstellar space surrounding Earth to a radius of roughly 450 - 550 light-years, generally demarcated by the outer borders of the "Great Houses." Within this region of about 2 million stars, there are approximately 2000 inhabited planets.
It seems like the number "1,777" above may be an indication of the number of
inhabited star systems (assuming an average of one or two habitable planets per star system) rather than the
total number of star systems (including stars with no habitable planets, stars with no planets, and so on).
Even so:
Federated Suns: 500/1,777 = 0.281 ->
28.173% of the IS
Draconis Combine: 350/1,777 = 0.197 ->
19.696% of the IS
Capellan Confederation: 217/1,777 = 0.122 ->
12.212% of the IS
Free Worlds League: 330/1,777 = 0.186 ->
18.571% of the IS
Lyran Commonwealth: 300/1,777 = 0.169 ->
16.882% of the IS
Free Rasalhague Republic: 80/1,777 = 0.045 ->
4.502% of the IS
I think the Steiner-Davion section of that chart should be larger (45.02%, or slightly less than half of the total pie; perhaps with an additional segment to show the proportion of worlds on each side of the alliance) and that the Capellan segment should be noticeably smaller than those of the Combine and the League (~2/3 of the size) and that the Republic should be smaller still (just over 1/3 of the size of the Confederation).
Also, the title for figure 2 would be somewhat more accurate if it read "Strength (House Members per Occupied Planet)".
But, that might just be me being a bit pedantic.
Your thoughts?
P.S.: The font and coloring, along with the border art and the progression ("MWO Statistics > Part 1 > Planet Ownership > Inner Sphere") at the top would seem to indicate that the image is, in fact, a screen shot... which would mean that "MWO Statistics" is part of the MWO website (similar border art, font and coloring, and progression styling) or a separate application... it seems that you have some
most interesting contacts and sources.
