From the outside we don't see that lack of cohesion. All anyone in SA is going to remember for years to come is Prime Minister Florence's screed (which I obligingly shared with the Church at large) and the assassination attempt from years back on Allison Kabrinski. I would assume though that Madina has little interest in what SA thinks of it.
Be careful about Aurvandil. They sound a lot like the Averothians and Saxons. If they have contacts or allies among those groups, you may wake up tomorrow to discover that they suddenly have 40 nobles and seemingly limitless supplies of gold
