First,
>With that in mind, I am interested in how our borders came to be.
Hoshiyomia's older than the Republic. So honestly I have no qualms with Hoshiyomia occupying the more defensible borders. Something like parts of the south being originally under Imperial control but the natives rebelled. Which pushes the Imperials (now Hoshiyomians) to near the current borders. While there were some skirmishes borders didn't change much due to 1. internal politics of the Principality (historically the grand prince has less power over the nobels/ infighting, something like that) 2. subordinate relations between southern petty states with the Principality 3. Trade. The south's supposed to have a series of fortifications.
Second,
>Why exactly are we cast as a friendly nation with you
My headcanon is that it's more so the Republic approached the Principality for friendly relations. There weren't many interactions between Suzy and Mumei but she's the first JP to check out her stream. And note that the Republic was battered after the Founding War, even if it managed to prop up its economy and managed to win the war. Considering there has been an ongoing war between the fanbase and schizos for over a century the nobles are likely glad that it's over and not much had spilled over. It's also supposed to be focused on repairing the many ruined cities and recolonizing the ravaged countryside especially in the East. That would keep the Hoomans busy for decades to come. And depending on how your nobles work they could also be the ones bankrolling many of the projects after the war, wishing to line their own pockets with the potential returns. And based on existing trade/personal relations, and seeing the Republic as a lesser threat a friendly relationship would grow.
>to help you establish a navy when we are more than capable of dealing with threats ourselves?
Profits. Or not necessarily by the Hoshiyomian state officially. Could be a bunch of retired officers, sponsored by merchants from both side hired to establish a fledging navy that could protect their interest. (Though for the Republic it probably has some state involvement)
>Food is hardly an issue for us either frankly
Import for food surplus? Hoshiyomia could have a relatively less productive system. The noble landowners simply rent out their land to peasants like an open-field system. Which they barely invest in. Whereas their energy is more concentrated at sectors that gives them immediate return like artisanal industries. And since the land is owned by the nobles instead of granted by the king (historically?) it was hard for Hoshiyomia to make many land reforms. As such food surplus needs to be imported in order for cities to grow.
>Given my nation's own superiority complex
The rep might not agree with this but I want to make /who/ a sort of "quietly proud" nation. In that, while it does consider itself superior, it doesn't try to promote its lifestyle and project its power much. Modesty is practiced both on a personal level and an ideological level. So the good relation has a lot to do with the fact that the nobles get along fine with the politicians and elites of the Republic for a long time. While some consider the Republic a threat, for many years it was not that obvious since the benefits outweigh the potential danger. However both factors within the Principality and /who/ could slowly make the more belligerent parties win out in political discourse.
Third,
>I also have had many headaches from being forced to accept past lore without much choice from the beginning
I do relate to that somewhat. Luckily I have mostly similar thinking as the rep, only differing on details for the most part. I would ask you to forgive the old rep since none of us had much idea what we were doing back then. And I could help out more to hash out the history and stuff if you are struggling. Just ask.

Take two and the recorded one she shared were a lot better. If she has more practice and less stage fright then it's up there in terms of stellar stellar covers.
