Dangerous animals or hostile natives would be enough to make settlement very difficult or impossible without state backing. Look at U.S history, even sponsored settlements like Jamestown had a very hard time taking hold. Remove state support and add some belligerent owlbears and it would be impossible. | |

How did no group of people split off and populate it separate from their country? Claiming it would upset the power balance, but populating it wouldn't. Would the other countries stop them from leaving? If they somehow go out, would the other countries blame their home country? What if they are from several countries? There are a bunch of things that make me lean away from simply a dis-balance of power. | |
