I'm pretty sure if the Ishgardians weren't fighting Dragons that they'd end up fighting and/or invading Girdania for it's fertile lands.
Culturally, they're kinda the same in that they're both isolationist, but I think there's been some mentions (in 1.0) that Ishgardians would go into Gridanian lands to cut down trees/ poach.
