Presumably because it's a product of conquest?

You don't often see a nation attacking another nation solely for territorial reasons in fantasy stories -- and when one does, it's almost never portrayed in a good light by the narrative.

I wonder, The Pilgrim, do you think the warring nations on the Western Continent (the ones not controlled by the Vector Legion, of course) are legitimate? I'd argue they exist for many of the same reasons but I also don't have a well-formed answer to my own question.
