I don't see anything wrong with the kingdom staying up for the benefit of the hermits. Sounds to me like Blitz only wants his own realm for it's own sake, and it is not in the interest of the people around him to let him do so.
You might not like that you have to expend so much effort to erect and expand a realm, in the presence of other realms, but consider this realistically: How would you expect, as a small and entirely new kingdom with few people, to challenge a larger, older realm? Even if it is sparsely populated, you would have a hard time doing so - consider any time Russia was ever invaded, for example.
Plus, I'm sure the hermits and small villages are VERY happy you're not able to just kick them out of their realm very easily, because they probably enjoy all those nice bonuses, and have no desire to bend the knee to you.
