Personally I never thought The country was small. The constant conflict was established in the episode that ling was introduced. I think that was episode 15. Ed told him that Amestris had become a military state when Bradley came into power and that they have been having multiple skirmishes at the borders.

Nerdy the way i justify the war stuff is that they are just small border skirmishes and total war has not broken out.
