They don't particularly have a long-standing feud with anyone else either which helps (which is ironic given they have the best reason for a feud with virtually any of their neighbors).
I would think that the Orcs grate quite a few of the other powers-that-be, because of the way they set up strongholds etc in what could be considered the territory of others. So I still think it's odd that they don't get more flak. The Empire is different, as they are likely inclined to leave them alone as Orcs regularly serve in the Imperial Army.
I mean the Orcs stronghold just kinda sit there not causing much of an issue and attacking them would likely be somewhat difficult given their location and Orcish fighting ability's so I would guess many governments just dont see the point in spending time and effort attacking them.
