I'd also add that there would likely be strong pacifist pressures in the region. War causes damage and production drops, which in return lowers food outputs and therefore make some people very unhappy.
If the Maroccidens is ever fully settled, I predict that food will become much less of a problem in the region as a whole. This will also largely eliminate the hordes of monsters. It will put the Maroccidens into a similar position as the northeast of Dwilight - plenty of food, not enough monsters to stave off Too Much Peace. Let the games begin!
