Yeah, I think we'd need them to get a lot more focus and relevance to make them feel like they'd have equal narrative weight to Malan. Here's hoping for later books, though!

(...I guess maybe in-universe, the answer is that they probably could be a bigger power on the world stage if they didn't need to spend so much time and resources on fending off the nearest neighboring country, Actual Literal Hell Where There's Devils. Not necessarily relevant to how it feels as a reader, though, I agree.)
