Coordinating RP on a neutral (or hostile) territory is painstakingly difficult, and I don't envy anyone trying to colonize for that reason. If you've got contacts, why not try to get together for <event>? IC dungeons, random gatherings, what have you? If /s would draw bad attention, you could always work on it in /l or /p to get some ground laid out?
I'm obviously just spitballing; Knowing none of the people involved, I can't offer anything resembling real advice or insight.
