Unanimous anything seems suspicious in the FWL.

Free Worlds Central BanK
The Free Worlds Central Bank of Atreus serves as regulator and engine for the national economy. The FWCB determines the levels of hard currency in circulation and manages the billions of daily electronic-funds transactions. Ostensibly part of
the government’s Trade and Taxation Directorate, the central bank is in practice largely independent. Director George Chambeley and his board make decisions concerning the currency supply and the FWCB’s base lending rate (the core rate
at which money is loaned throughout the League). All other banks in the Free Worlds—licensed and monitored by the federal government—base their actions on those of the FWCB.

Thanks to the efforts of Director Chambeley and the overall strength of the League economy, the Marik eagle has risen to the pinnacle of Inner Sphere finances, rivaled only by the C-bill and Lyran kroner (S-bill) in international markets. The C-bill remains the pre-eminent international currency—barely—but the kroner and eagle continue their decades-long jousting for the second spot, the eagle’s present superiority ensured for the time being by the crippling reconstruction
debt facing the Lyrans in the wake of the FedCom Civil War.

Clans. Gotta be. Nothing goes down THAT smooth in MY Free Worlds. It's gotta be the Children of Kerensky, returning as prophecied, taking over our central banking! And from that, the WOOOORRLLD INNER SPHERE!

The "Children Of Kerensky" are never coming back. Their armada got sucked into a black hole. The FWL should think about making preperation to send a responce force into the periphary near their border. The Steiners and Kuritians are having problems with merchant ships not coming back from the periphary on their side of the Inner Sphere. These little nations out in the periphery must be banding together in some grandiose idea that they can effect our economy by seizing a couple privately owned JumpShips.

Maybe these little banding nations think they can create their own strike force and seize a planet or two from the Inner Sphere.
