Hmmm...
What is the difference between the Cagilan Empire and the Zuma?
Or Sirion. Or Enweil (pre-fourth, most likely). Or any other powerful realm?
Powerful realms have their own goals and they will !@#$ you up if you stand in the way of them. This is not new or unique to the Zuma, so why is there a twenty seven page thread about why it is the epitome of evil for the Zuma to do so? Hell, the Zuma have had less impact than a realm of equivalent position (SA...) would have had because of how passive they are.
The difference is, none of those realms you mentioned, as far as I'm aware, has Garret Artemesia for an ambassador. That's my only beef with the Zuma, really.
There is being a bully, and then there is cartoonish, supervillainy trolling.
