I suppose the situation with Orochimaru is something like when after WW2 the allies took in Nazi scientist rather than send them all to jail. So, they are keeping him out of the village and with a guard on the door so that if he fucks shit up it doesn't affect citizens (who are the only people that politically matter, random nomads without belonging to any country can't protest if they are assaulted on the road).

I mean, the Shinobi Union is so a reference to the ONU.

The one I don't know is Karin/the rest of Taka, since they seem to be allowed to travel between hideouts with no problem.
