Yes, they should have asked permission. We knew that, you knew that, most Barcans knew that. But previous incidents have not resulted in threats to destroy the entire realm, demands for significant amounts of items (with time limits), and, ultimately, an attempt to create a puppet state. Though that last, as I understand it, was actually quite thoroughly RPed and well-motivated; looks to be the first interesting thing the Zuma have done since Hireshmont's been ruler.
Again you speak without knowing the actual facts. It was not the single matter of taking the region that brought about the demands. There has never been any attempt to make a puppet state, however you may choose to view any of the events that have taken place.
It would be very beneficial for people if you actually made it clear when you were speculating on things rather than continuing to state things as if that are fact.
