It's possible she considers herself extremely dirty after being defiled numerous times by the man she hates the most, so she might be happier dying when she's finished with the revenge.

Another possibility I mention earlier is Pina becoming the ruler and freeing slaves, or some of the slaves, and giving them back their lands. She might very well do it after being influenced by the Japanese so much. She would most likely try to cooperate as much as possible. On the bright side she wouldn't trade invaluable resources for mere glass pearls because she has learned too much after hanging with Itami & Co and even visiting Japan. I have no doubt Tyuule would want to slay Pina as well, though, since she belongs to the same royal family.
I don't think there are all that many bunnies left, at least that's the impression I get. They got slaughtered anyway, despite Tyuule surrendering to Zolzal. Even if there were enough to rebuild, Tyuule would try to rule again anyway, stating that she "sacrificed so much" to save her people. Scheming bitch to the end.

Ehh...I think you're giving Pina too much credit. She's actually pretty stupid. Bozes and especially Hamilton (drill forelocks and bobcut headband) seem to be quite a bit more politically aware and shrewd compared to Pina. I'm not saying she'd trade land for beads and plastics, but I don't think she really grasped the economics of scale on her visit to Japan. She was already stunned that the Japanese were willing to take only "mining rights" and freedom from taxes for reparations. The latter being the big one. The aptly-named Hamilton started to realize it though.

Japan can singlehandedly obliterate their economy, while taking away valuable raw materials and securing an enormous agricultural area (two things they're already short on back on Earth). Japan has deliberately set up a very harsh and one-sided tariff system with the Empire and they probably don't even realize it. We've already seen its effect on the PX/Commissary in the town that surround the base.

Pina has always been to focused on honor and not being obliterated to think about the other, far more nefarious things Japan has been doing. The other world is already a colony of Japan, and with Japan having the sole gate, they don't have to compete with any other imperialist rank powers back home.

Pina and her brothers are playing the short game. Japan has been playing the long game since the battle stopped. Their father was at least a little more aware of it.
