2. He gave himself an obligation. He promised to help them, no questions asked. Harry can't turn them down (not that he would unless it was something REALLY bad), or he'll face consequences.
But as Lea pointed out in Ghost Story, Harry's obligations are Winter's obligations too; Mab herself may be thereby bound to fulfill the promise if Harry is unable to. I don't know how she'll react to it if it comes to that, but regardless, this could get messy somewhere down the line.
If Harry is really becoming more like the Fae, then he'll be able to track any of the pins he handed out.Not that he couldn't before...
Harry has a castle, retainers, Excalibur, and he started a order of knights. He's either paralleling Merlin or Arthur pretty hard with just that. You could stretch it with the Paranet and say he united a nation. That's much less of a stretch if (probably when) the Paranet becomes an Accorded Nation.
I think that's unlikely. An accorded nation needs to be able to defend itself. Many members of the Paranet have useful skills, but as far as we know there are only two fighters, Harry and Elaine; and Elaine wants to keep a low profile.Jim was asked what the Paranet would need to do to become a member of the Accords. He said something about proving the could handle themselves and how it would take some chaotic events for them to have the opportunity. His answer indicated they would almost certainly have the opportunity.

Priscellie: What would the Paranet have to do to be considered a big enough body to sign the accords? And this is from poly? granada?
Jim: Oh they'd have to win some fights, is what they'd have to do. At the end of the day, in the supernatural world, among the various political powers, what gets you respect is the ability to thrash them. And if you can do that then they have to take you seriously because if they don't then you can thrash them. So that would be what they would really have to do, it would be something, a very difficult thing for them to do. It'd take an awful lot of coordination and leadership so it would take an awful extreme situation for something like that to come together. And I can't imagine where in the Dresden Files universe an extreme situation like that might exist *smirks and lifts mug while Priscellie laughs*.
