Larger alliances taking advantage of smaller ones

Perhaps the smaller alliances could work together and craft their own confederation, in order to protect each other in the event larger alliances exert their power in an unbecoming manner.

I find it reprehensible that larger alliances are taking advantage of smaller alliances by harvesting resources from the smaller alliance's sov squares, attacking their camped armies, and not even following their own rules! If you say you are going to attack anyone camped or harvesting within 5 squares of your cities, but your members do this to others, that is the height of hypocrisy... shame of you!!!!
