I believe he is saying that the Taliban, in this matter, are a model for Orlanthi clans. (He really *means* clans in Afghanistan, who have to choose between the Taliban and the Afghan government.)

Thus,

Afghan villages and clans often split their active allegiance between Taliban and the US-allied government.
Sartarite Orlanthi cities and clans often split their active allegiance between Orlanth rebels and the Lunar-based government.

But not that Canadians split their allegiance to anything. That tangent on the thread was an inside joke between Greg and Jeffkyer, I think.
