What do we know about Ishgard? ( Possible Expansion name?)

[Enkidoh]

There's actually Garlean strongholds in every region of Eorzea - it's why it's stated that Eorzea pretty much is in a state of cold war at the moment, they're literally waiting for the Empire to renew hostilities and launch a full-scale assault on the citystates. As for Ishgard, I remember hearing that they apparently have a neutrality treaty with the Empire, which would explain their 'closed border' policy.

Which simply means that as soon as the Garleans are done conquering the three other city-states, the treaty's off. Considering the Ishgardians are obviously fighting a losing war against the dragons, Garleans can pretty much take over without much effort once the manpower has dwindled too much. Not much different from how they took over Ala Mhigo.
