How do Nordland, the Wasteland and Kislev do it?

By being unified states with the backing of much larger powers invested in seeing them take the brunt of the punishment so others don't have to.

Better question: How can be Norsca so strong all the time despite boarding at the fucking chaos waste?

The city-states have big fucking walls and not!greek fire and enough money to hire mercenary armies to protect them, while the !norse dudes are disparate and underequipped even if terrifyingly big guys.

And having a food supply that's 100% animal based.
Seriously what the fuck do the smaller animals even eat? Food chains don't work like this.

Hello there Kislev.

What if city-states are giga niggers too?

Let not!norse settle on nice fat lands you own and recognize their leaders as nobility, on the condition that they help fight off other not!norse.
