>other side of the rift not disintegrate with hundreds of smaller states
...it did. Imperium Nihilus is not just the primary power structure on that side, but also the only one that's making an attempt at decentralization. Everyone else outside of it is fighting for themselves or are long dead from when the rift opened. We just didn't hear a lot about those stories because there's only so many ways you can say "and they arrived at the world to find nothing but chaos worship/bones."
