GCs are not enemies.
They only are on the Frontlines, on Cartenau, which is under a very specific set of rules, and every three GCs had an agreement regarding this particular case.
Even then, they are not "enemies" per se, they are just competing for a power that would reinforce their military force to deal with the problems of their respective cities.
They deliberatly choose to fight for Cartenau rather than trying to "discuss" or to "buy" it.

Anyway, the difference between "administrative registration" and "military affiliation" is a big deal and does not just concerns semantics like you say.

GCs are sending soldiers from their own forces to fight for Cartenau. They're not sending FCs, because they don't have the power to ask them anything on a military level. That's basically it.
