So...it totally does have to do with risks being dangerous. Because the realms ruled by people who take those risks? They die. They die, and the realms that are ruled by "safe" rulers survive.
But if you're so sure that this is purely a problem of "culture", what would you propose to change it?
That is one reason I gave up on the rulership of Nothoi. I like to portray my char as one that has lost one realm already (he was in good old Norland) and survived two invasions, and torture by demons.
So yeah, he is going to play safe all the time and try to make all the alliances that he can.
In the end, it was getting to boring, so I stopped being ruler.
He is always going to go against war.
Now the peace treaty is not signed yet because Riombara is voting to aprove it, after a few weeks discussing and a ruler that went silent for a while.
