You're confusing self-interest with common interest. Often players who are already getting beat up or who don't stand a chance at winning won't bother to help out. Why should they care? So in reality only a very select few nations who have a shot at winning care. Their combined pearl income is often less than the pearl income of the AN caster.

Sounds like you have a problem with the players rather than the spell.

Id rather the game be decided by a climatic battle(s) then just see everyone's hands go up in the air and leave once the first dispel for AN fails. Feels cheesy.

Why bother with the dispel then? Presumably, if those nations interested really do have a chance at winning then it would represent a serious military bloc. A combined war pact would be a better idea, until either the casting player was defeated or the spell was removed. Unless the power balance is way out of whack, then even the power of AN won't be sufficient against such an alliance.
Should be easier to sell to the other players too. Presumably those in with a chance of winning will be fairly close in power (at least in their own heads). You can appeal to their sense of competition - point out that the lands thus captured may be the edge they need to become dominant. Just make sure the only one who's going to be in that position when the dust settles is yourself
