Two are far, far away from Gobbotopia right now, and the third is dead. Good odds their most powerful individual member right now is Jirix, who was one-shotted by a nearly naked Paladin wielding an improvised weapon.

Like, the comic you linked to specifically says that they were afraid of crossing the Lich, not a pretty large army of goblins.

And that's likely also only the coastal nations, the ones that the boat-bound Azurites could reach.

If Redcloak wants this nation of his to last a decent amount of time, he'll need to make concessions.
I honestly, truly doubt that the lesson the author wants to give us will be "Only non-goblins can conquer other nations without every single nearby place going on a species-motivated rampage on the new country" or "Goblins will either have to submit to what scraps are offered to them after millenia of inequality or live by the sword forever".
