People of the modern era were used to conflict between countries. One could say that the history of humanity was simply a series of wars. Peace was just a temporary break.
Peace was merely something that occurred when everyone was licking their wounds and recuperating, preparing for the next massacre!
At the very root of war between countries, it was always about vying for resources.
Population, land, markets…
In the Nine Provinces, because exploring the Darkness Continent could bring extremely high returns, in addition to the Saint Gate being the arbitration party, there were no large-scale wars between the various countries.
Naturally, it was also impossible for the various countries to keep coexisting peacefully with each other. After all, even husbands and wives would have the 'seven-year itch' and wanted to divorce.
