With the founding and success of the Starke Council, the supernatural powers of the area became a small nation of it's own in the eyes of much of the supernatural world.
Several of the supernatural world powers, such as the Camarilla and the Garou Nation have recognized that the Territory of the Starke Council is something different. And allow the council members to largely play out their 'experiment' in cooperation.
But many powers, such as Pentex and the Sabbat, view the Starke Council as a threat, and actively work to destroy them, and to tear the member factions apart.
