I think there's no such thing as it being challenging to create diverse events for each place. That's not the reason some nations are more active than others. Every nation has their moments, what was known as dead before can pick itself up and become active again with the right muse, and the right driving forces. Similarly, everything can experience slow months, or slumps in activity as a result of many different factors. These factors aren't the limit to creativity with regards to events, because if you're struggling with that, you need to get more creative, not less. In Geladyne the mere collection of books has been a silly plotline with arcs of horror, of combat, and of ambient storytelling.

Duyuei has just wrapped up it's latest behemoth and suffered from a self admitted situation in which the leader just doesn't have the time to dedicate to the nation, and was always looking for the right moment to pass it off. This is not a limit of creativity, either. This is not being unable to do a kind of event without stepping on toes!

There are reasons for the quiet in nations, but those reasons are anything but 'creative limitations', in my honest opinion. Duyuei has a lot of room to explore the dangers of the wastes, or tap into the spiritual side of things, and mystical things as well. There's a lot with regards to magic you can explore in the environment that Duyuei provides. Nature, too. What kind of whimsical creatures live in Duyuei, after all?

Geladyne has plenty of options, too - the aforementioned book retrieval, rampant homunculi events, hunting material for inventions, noble conflicts - heck, potentially rogue lances of soldiers, too.

Not to mention there's nothing wrong with some shared themes. You can share themes across nations without acting like one having it means the other can't explore those concepts too. A lot of this restriction seems self inflicted more than anything. You can do so much if you put your mind to it.
