I think it'd be cool if all the current regions were permanent principalities. You'd have more royal presence even in the far reaches and maybe a little more fun. (Well maybe I'm the only one who thinks more royalty would be fun) But I digress, pretend power seems to cause as many problems as real power.
Or something like that, yes. I think it would be an interesting experiment at least. Formation of a Principality does not have to equal soon or even ever breaking away into a Kingdom. And I think if the MK had a better handle on that concept, they might have kept some of there previous principalities longer or even indefinitely.
Yeah, it's the pretend power thing that's making me crazy. And how neglected sections of the Region seem to be. There has been a lot of monkey business with new groups - usually involving Shires that don't have a lot of recourse to defend themselves. And they're so far out of the main, some of them might get a Royal visit every 5 or 10 years. Not because they're geographically distant but because they put on one small event that isn't deemed important enough to bother with. A couple of the "hinterlands" are pretty centrally located. Just lightweights in terms of influence with the Kingdom.
