You'd actually be surprised to hear that Tara sometimes disagrees, quite vehemently, with the Empire. Not every day, but on occasion. Tara certainly isn't the pushover that people imagine it to be.
All I know is that Zadar (who rules Tara) also has a character with 3,829 days in the Cagilan Empire who is not only a sitting Cagilan Senator but is a Royal on top of that.
I don't disbelieve you that there are disagreements between him and the Cagilan leadership from time to time, but the day he moves from disagreement and/or noncooperation to directly opposing their aims is the day I eat my hat (still waiting for that, by the way).
