Also concerning the westward expansion, it isn't under very civil control but rather under the supervision of The Bull, a criminal lord. As a criminal lord, he can easily cause massive issues without fear of true retalliatiom, because a criminal orginization has no true borders. For example, say he pillages one of your villages for a little something, wouldn't make sense to counter attack and say seige Mallkim, a seperate entity (not saying you couldn't however). This could get interesting.
On second thought, it might be fun to have your criminal lord "THE BULL" raid border towns and villages in my country (Manas). That might create some interesting tension and drama. Maybe I can let him kidnap one of my viewpoint characters and have him ("the Bull") torture my viewpoint character or even have start a romantic relationship with my viewpoint character... similar to a slave and a master.
Edit: Now I see what you're getting at. If your criminal lord (the bull) pillages one of my western villages, then yes, the could definitely lead to outright war between my country and yours. It's up to you if you want "The Bull" to pillage one of my villages and cause a war to start.
Right now, I'm looking for interesting dramatic things/events to occur in my country that will upset the status quo!
