I would argue that Garleans, like the emperor and Cid, aren't Hyur. Given the anatomical differences, I would say pure-blood Garleans would be their own race.

Basically there are two kinds of Garleans. Ones that are real Garleans (Garlean race) and ones that are just members of the empire (any race).

I was just going by what little we've seen so far. Ishgardians don't seem like they will be as welcoming as our current nations, so I assume the storyline leading to Ishgard will involve some kind of battle against who is in charge.

Obviously, They are at war with Dragon Folks since game release

Cat people rule over all other nations rulers from the shadows so there is no need to make one of us a nation ruler ^^.
