The Atoz Administration

Beginnings
At the end of the Conter Administration, there was reluctance within the leadership of TFA to give the group up to those from the previous administration for fear they would go back on many of the reforms that had been implemented over the past three months. This led to an unlikely choice of candidate for general-in-chief: Atoz. Atoz had been leader of T5UB in years prior and was determined to be the best choice of leader for TFA after a full month of consideration. Thus, the Atoz administration began on November 22 of 2017.

Diplomacy
Atoz continued a slightly watered down version of the Conter Administration's diplomacy. He would attempt to reconcile with CSA while still standing firm on many of the demands for change made by Conter. His efforts would prove fruitless however after negotiations broke down over CSA's refusal to use Frontier Tech.

"Our Little Cold War"
An anomaly of the Atoz Administration was the creation of what became known as satellite groups by The Richmond Pact. This attempt at expanding the scope of the community to include other countries of the Victorian era led to a deal of alarm in the TFA leadership, as TFA had seldom relied on allies since the days of Sammy. Two distinct blocs thus formed: The Richmond Pact under the CSA, which included France and Mexico, and the Washington Accord under TFA, which included Spain and Russia. This "little cold war" as it became known saw TFA and CSA try to exert influence over each other's satellite groups via diplomacy.

All of this came to a head with the creation of the Empire of Brazil by Epix. The group was flooded by members from TFA and CSA, with both sides claiming to represent the will of the group. This resulted in Brazil's brief alliance with TFA before Epix was forced to capitulate to CSA by Omega.
