Since you say you aren't concerned with the location of the campaign, perhaps you're also not concerned about the time period? If so, pre-Lunar Dara Happa, or better yet, Carmania seem like good choices. TOTRM#16 has some stuff on Carmania and both the Western dominated and Spolite periods seem to fit with your requirements. There's more on the Western period, and it has the potential for more different cultures being involved, so I'd go for that one.
Some non-Pelorian examples that occur to me are:
1) Ramalia. The Mraloti are heavily oppressed by Paruzal the Impaler and his
followers. On the down side, nothing has been written about this region
AFAIK, and it's difficult to know how much there is in the way of internal
factions.
2) Seshnela. The Rokari Malkioni oppress just about everyone who lives here.
Factions are likely to be in the form of noble houses, many of which are
powerful and can exercise a fair degree of independence from Royal control.
The down side is the absence of a wide range of cults (although there may
well be underground heresies), although whether that's a problem depends on
other aspects of the campaign.
3) Fonrit. There hasn't been much officially published on this area (not
that's easily available anyway) but it does seem to fit your requirements.
Even more obscure areas that might fit include the eastern Pamaltelan coast
and Vormain.

Nope. It's a marsupial. Descended from animals similar to quolls IIRC.
Forward the glorious Red Army!
