It's not so much a matter of being able to do things, but rather the issue of needing to be under the wing of one of the nations in order to get anything done. I could make a group, say, somewhere in the mountains. But that would make us a Geladynian group. If we do anything Geladyne doesn't like, we're going to be reined in by the government because we're on their land and we need to obey their laws.

In other words, Korvara is a great sandbox yes, but the 4 nations hold the keys to it.

Sure you can settle somewhere. If all you want is just to exist and hang out in a house you can ask permission and do it. But what if you want your own constitution, your own laws? Or to truly own the land you live on? I'm not saying that Geladyne was wrong in their desire to assimilate wanderer's vale, but it certainly set a precedent. Same with fairview. That being neutral in korvara is not possible.

So yeah you can exist on claimed territory, and you might be able to do things you want to do, but you will belong to the nation. Like, we can't start a new faction without permission. And if you do intend to go against one of the 4 nations, you are 100% certain to lose.
