There is a segment who feel absolutely threatened by what the X-Men have done.

On the other side of the coin you have the humans who have built machines to kill mutants, drugs to kill mutants, created organizations to kill mutants, organizations to imprison mutants and experiment on them. Made plans for the world wide genocide of mutants, and the majority of the human population of Earth has stood idly by and done nothing, said nothing, pretended nothing was happening. Even the so called greatest heroes of the world have done absolutely nothing to help mutants.
With that in mind the mutants are creating their country and right now they are just in the beginning stages of establishing their infrastructure, defences, and offences. They already had to arrange a clandestine mission to take out a genocidal threat that the humans were building and intending to deploy against their nation.
They granted all the villains an amnesty, but I am sure several of them are being monitored. On the other hand there are several of these villains who really just wanted this all along, a mutant nation, and they will be happy to get that. Frenzy, Marrow, etc... Even Exodus for all his fanaticism just wants mutants to have a nation of their own. A lot of these villains will probably become productive members of the new society, some of them will bare close watching. Some of them may be too violent to let walk around unsupervised. I imagine that the punishment for hurting a mutant may be banishment, but the punishment for killing a mutant might be death.
I expect that the X-Men won't make a bold invasive move against another nation until they are first attacked. After another nation attacks them first they will inflict such a massive counterstroke against that country that everyone will realize what happens when you attack Krakoa. They will make an example out of the first country that openly attacks them, that is what I would do if I was in their shoes, I would make sure that the world knows if you declare war on Krakoa that they will bring the wrath of god down on you in ways that you could never even imagine.
Even as we speak in the Marvel Universe there are still human organizations and governments itching to get control of the Krakoa flowers and invade Krakoa. Someone will attack the island in Dawn of X and that will probably trigger the Phase 2 comics. Phase 1 will be the mutants mostly playing nice, but expanding their defences and their clandestine services branch.
