Some of you might want to consider each sides objectives. This isn't just a battle to control a small island, after all. In fact, only one side seems outright interested in that.

Consider.

The Organization: really couldn't care less, because their objective is to use this island as a laboratory. As long as they can produce more and better claymores, and possibly even another controllable abyssal one, they come out ahead. Winning the war on the mainland is their goal.

The Ghosts don't care about the land, except in so much that people shouldn't become snack food. They're after the Organization while trying to make sure no Abyssal wins, but they themselves don't want control.

The Dragonkin don't want the island, or else they'd be fighting for it already. As long as the Organization loses, they win. Quite possibly/likely the Dragonkin have their abyssal-level dragons.

The Holy City of Rabona is merely concerned with its own protection. It's questionable if they have the manpower to go a conquering, and even if they did they can't match the upper-tier beasties.

Isley is a mystery, but if he had wanted he likely could have blitzed the rest of the island while he still had Priscilla (assuming he doesn't have her in reach now). But to date, he seems to have been more concerned with smashing any potential team-up that could defeat him.

Riful is the one who seems most concerned with the balance of power and status of lands, and even that is in reaction to Isley's actions. While she certainly seeks to take every advantage, whether it's a matter of power or merely of land remains to be seen.
