The island doesn't need a Lukon driven reset, it needs Lukon to reset itself and F off.
Why do you want to bash Lukon for playing well?
They have played hard and well...working to get everything they have. How dare they play well.
From what you have said, you would prefer an OOC reset rather than one that is character driven. Its not going to happen. No one in the Colonies can stop Lukon from taking out all the remaining realms if they wanted. It has been that way for a long time. Lukon entered into wars to make sure the outcome was as needed for their plans...of course those who were on the loosing end are not happy but that is the way things go in a game.
The reason why there will be an Empire rather than Lukon just splitting its self... is because that is how my Character would do it. Now she could go on and dismantle the other realms but that would take time...and the Colonies have become too slow. So the Colonies get a boost... Lukon holds the first seat of the Empire for 2 or 3 months, and then elections begin. That gives us our pride, the Colonies their action, and provides a little bit of interesting new politics.
There are no game mechanics involved with the Empire having power. It is all politics. If a realm wanted to, they could go kill off any realm they wanted and laugh at Lukon for being so silly to trust them. So if you do not like it...find a way to stop it or break it once it is in place. Go start a rebellion and be the first realm to break free of the Empire...or start a group for those who despise Lukon, and make a difference.
Bottom line... Lukon is choosing to do this to help increase the popularity of the Colonies to raise the population of nobility. At the same time, why would Lukon just break its self up...and why would they do that while leaving other realms large? This way provides a way for Lukon to get its due...provide fresh new action...end old stagnant alliances and enemies...while still maintaining our characters, history and uniqueness...
We have played hard and consistent while maintaining a good story. Just because the Colonies needs a little shake up does not mean everyone gets to beat on Lukon.
