@Persephone04 'Fear won't be enough to rein them in. Someone somewhere out there is bound to make a deal with someone else. They won't have an inkling of loyalty to Nazarick.'

The problem here is that they're dealing with Eight Fingers, not with Nazarick directly. Nazarick doesn't even need to have to make their presence known. Therefore, if anything should happen, Eight Fingers would become the first target as Nazarick prepares itself in the dark. Unless someone actually finds out about the connection between Eight Fingers and Nazarick, the probability of a trap sprung on Nazarick is very small. Also, I need to emphasize once more... if a trap is sprung, Nazarick would have already started to mobilize the next minute in because that's exactly what everyone in Nazarick wants. Ainz doesn't let anyone of his subjects (NW residents mostly non-accountable) to go out without surveillance placed on them after Shalltear's incident.

I would be pretty paranoid if someone out there has a mind-controlling World Item at their disposal but that's just me.

No matter how powerful that brainwashing item is, it's shown that it's merely a magic item that has a target of one. Use it and your trump card is wasted until the next charged up phase. That's why I said even though with such a powerful item at their disposal, it's kind of hard to decide when to use it. Ainz had thrown the white gloves at Slane's face. Now, it's up to them to make their next move.

Actually, with Downfall, they should be able to control any one of the leader of the countries to do their bidding. The implication that they had done nothing of the sort hints that the World Item is under even worse restrictions than we first imagined. The worst case I can think of unofficially is that it can and only can take control of one target at any given time and forcing the power on another dispells the current target. If this is the case, Slane is in an even worse state than anyone could possible imagine.

'P.S. Where did they hint that Zuranon's ritual is meant for something else entirely? '

I've said it a few posts up. Well, I'll repeat that again. The Intermission of the manga tankoubons, one in volume 3 specifically.
