Like it or not, there is a strong correlation between having a war and activity generated. I do not understand the constant and often-perpetuated attitude that seems to suggest that factions in conflict with one another should spend time slagging each other off in local or something rather than kicking the stuffing out of one another.
It may be possible to carry on interactions in this game with a minimum of right clicking, particularly for factions that enjoy an extensive amount of internal RP or that have the repsheet to find friends/neutrals to talk with on occasion, but for quite a few factions (cough cough) more often than not the simplest form of roleplay is the most accurate.
tl;dr wars are excellent for both in game activity and potential to write tons of forum based fluff. Houses without wars have always suffered noticeably on the tracker, aside from occasional spurts of presence that soon seem to melt away.
Bretonia has been at war with Gallia for almost 2 years and the place is practically dead with only short bursts of activity when a scheduled fight takes place. War can be a good creator of activity but as Char suggests its not the only way of doing so, good storylines and decent people are generally more consistant.
