Cryptic has stated the Klingon faction is not a full faction and that it's something they want to address in 2012, as it's generally seen as essential before launching a playable Romulan faction.

This keeps track of the changes to STO in a way that tracks the progress on closing the gap between the factions. The number of races is not considered as the Federation, by its nature, is composed of a wide assortment of aliens, and the Klingon, Romulan, Cardassian, etc. factions would all be heavily based around a few species.

Each time period is divided up into quarters (three month blocks) and is evaluated at the end of each said time.

As of May 2013 with the addition of the first expansion, Legacy of Romulus, the Klingon faction has finally achieved full faction status in comparison with the Federation in terms of multiple metrics.

Personal Opinion on Achieving "Full Faction" Status
I believe the following would add flavor to a full Klingon faction, in regards to parity with the Federation:


 * Several more ships:
 * Orion, Nausicaan, and Gorn versions of shuttles, as well as Tier 1 (Lieutenant) and Tier 2 (Lt. Commander) starships
 * At least one more Klingon sector block to include areas south of Omega Leonis, including locations like Ty'Gokor as a new hub
