Scale the number of alliances based on number of regions? Eg. Default is 5
alliances for a 5 region realm, for a 10 region realm it might be 3
alliances, 20 regions only one alliance, or some progression like that.

How about just removing everything above peace anyway? That way, alliances
have to be explicitly enforced by the people. I'm sure a lot exist because a
ruler X years ago made it and no ruler since has been gutsy enough to break
it. Without the mechanic there, an active effort needs to be made, otherwise
it'll just lapse into obscurity.
