Given the natural geography of the region, it's silly to try and make Re-Estize a part of another kingdom. They should just incite a civil war and purge the corrupt nobility (and incompetent parts of the Royal family).

This is precisely what Demiurge is doing, which makes him "the good guy" in all of this despite his extreme evil Karma rating. Of course, Demiurge takes unnecessary pleasure in the suffering involved, but in accordance with Ainz's clear desire to end up with a functional and loyal human population afterwards, he doesn't allow his innate sadism to dictate all his plans.

From the perspective of the Slane Theocracy, having Re-Estize be in a cycle of recurring civil wars is the best of both worlds. They get a large human population (humans respond to certain kinds of social instability by having more children and investing less effort in each one), which then fights among itself for dominence. Many of the adventurous and strong naturally migrate to other countries where they can enjoy a stable, respectable job hunting monsters. It's full of win for everyone...except the inhabitants of Re-Estize.

Ainz has different goals, but the important thing isn't just that the objectives may seem more "moral" but rather that Nazarick is doing a more competent job of pursuing them.
