Who doesn't want a safe and stable city? However, in most cases, it's something this world cannot achieve.
After all, in the Eastern Country, the collective strength of those chaotic forces certainly surpasses the official authority... The titles held by the churches of the Proper Gods are both a "proof of strength" and "permit for privileges" granted by officials, as well as the price paid to ensure stability.
"Since it's the Church of the Proper Gods, then having some 'free lands' is also quite normal; taming some of the Exotic Races or employing some local labor is taken for granted, and even if someone dies in their own 'Territory', it's normal for the officials to have no say..."
Some things are lost through continual concessions, and at a certain point, they become irretrievable.
