We are concerned about that, too. But then again, maybe the League is right, too.

*The Order informs King Lucan that it marched with the army that now approaches Seagard and expresses it's dismay that he would even contemplate the idea that they would not be the first through the breach when it comes time to brutalise heathens*

The Kingdom of Malhor, there's not much to say about Malhor beyond the fact that it is, by all accounts, run by a trio of families who won independence for Malhor during the Doom. Prior to the Doom, and purportedly to this very day, said families were supposedly deeply involved in the criminal underworld and had a hand in every proverbial pie from here to Qarth. Whether that's true or not, I cannot say, but certainly the laws there seem to be...laxer if you have enough coin for the bribes that keep the place running.
Greenlace is mostly farms and ranches, a lot of the horses used by the Essarians come from Greenlace for that matter, as well as, according to it's own inhabitants, the most democratic city in Essos. The whole place is divided into a series of tribes who elect representatives or some such thing who serve in a council which elects an Archon who runs the place or leads the military or...really, it's all very confusing. The only part about it that people seem to remember is that every year, they gather in Greenlace and exile one unlucky person by way of vote, forcing them out of Greenlace for a decade for crimes real or imagined, though often both.
Ravensfort and Corpseden are charming little places, the former is named for a flock of ravens that perched on the eponymous fort after the first King of the Volaena executed six hundred slaves in order to turn himself into a dragon (he failed and was murdered in tandem by the next six of his successors who would go on to murder each other in due course) while the latter was named by an imaginative fellow who thought covering his house in the corpses of his foes would make him seem impressive. That no one has put the rabble down is most likely because they're swampy hellholes filled with psychopaths, thieves, murderers, and snake-oil salesmen who have a tendency to cut your throat when you decide to take a nap in one of the many scenic swamps that dot the place.
Dreylia is mostly farmland, some mines in the southeast, and is ruled by a merchant family that bought Dreylia from the old Tyrant after he went bankrupt (his life is, for that matter, a cautionary tale against spending all your money on hookers and cocaine) and have since run the place rather well, all things considered.
And what about the realm you labeled #8?

Will you say that when the Orosi League needs an enemy and turns to Volantis as the continuation of a heathen legacy as Volantis is the First Daughter of Valyria. The League is not to be trusted.
Fascinating.

My friends, it seems the Empire is stirring once again. While it has not yet taken any aggressive acts it is best to prepare for these eventualities. I recommend that we form a League amongst ourselves for our mutual defense if any of us are attacked.

I believe a cousin of yours used very similar wording on a visit to the place several years ago though if memory serves, the fascination revolved around heaving bosoms and tightly cut dresses.
*Ny Sar and Ar Noy both indicate a willingness to work together against Volantis but clearly wish to refrain from anything so binding as a League*

With the fall of Massey's Hook, several slight reorganizations have occurred in Duskendale's bureaucracy. Most notably, the formation of the Group on Naval Taxation -- an organization that the Targaryens, Masseys, Sunglasses and other notables have been invited to join.
