Spine Back was referring to the territories the Persan received after the first War of the Mirusian Coalition, anything gained after Attero Dominatus would have been colonized ASAP and left a pretty obvious THIS BELONGS TO US. That and they only glassed planets they found something they thought better left buried(so truly horrifying easily abused things). The Persan will tend to use absolute terms without meaning anything absolute even in politics since to them dealing in absolutes is unthinkably rude and offensive.

Also keep in mind no political science qualifications here. Exact terms are not something I deal with that often and it is brain numbingly difficult for someone used to writing stories drive more by the relationships, conflicts, and emotions of individual characters rather then large political factions to have to constantly use exact wording.
