Well, regarding your last point, I mean, would you even think to go so far as to say that as part of the Kami or Karavan you should not be able to enter particular cities? Indeed, the RP hatred between Matis and Fyros is undeniably strong, why should I as a Mati be allowed to freely roam the Desert lands and enter their cities? Well, I believe that it is the FTA which allows this free movement and the issue we have now is that the Marauders are not directly cited as a nation because some don't consider them to be a nation but instead an organisation of members from different nations. So why can't RPers and all game players take it upon themselves to rectify this directly on the FTA for example.
That's not really the point I wanted to make. Anyway, the rift thing with kara/kami on Aniro is mostly historically inaccurate. This has been mostly pushed by new FR players to the game (I play since the beginning and this bullying thing is quite new : 2-3 years top). Also, you do not have to be bullied into doing sth. If someone says it's not RP or whatever, just answer back in RP and say you are moderate. Not talking to the other faction is extremist. There's a range the k/k stuff (from the most moderate to the most extremist). Nobody can argue anything on a RP basis if you just answer on the same.
What I was thinking about is more about ingerance. E.g. my character is a Tryker Citizen, he's no ambassador and not really active in politics. I would not even dream to start inferring with other nations if there is no direct link between the context around my character and what is happening. You won't see Maximus barging in some assembly in some forsaken place just because it is an event... But then again, I am limiting myself, why should anyone expect the same from anybody.
Regarding Marauders, it has been explained since the beginning, these are rogue bandits, not friends or lovers or anything. They pissed on everyone/everything to live their lifestyle. And if they do not want to be like that, then just do not be a maraudeur. There are enough nice other options to take if you want to be friend with everybody (let's say Rangers for instance ?) or even create a neutral knightly movement or whatever.
