Atlantia has a lot of animosity regarding formation of new groups/principalities and issues of a large kingdom. Last summer our Barony, 45 minutes from D.C. was the only group to put in a bid for 12th night. We were told no thank you, its too far and the deadline was extended. So someone again brought up (I understand its a 5 year cycle) the idea of a northern principality. About 50% thought of it as a permanent principality and the rest seemed to think a principality was inevitably a bid to break up the kingdom.
On another note, this winter it was proposed by the King or Prince to make a deal with a site and set the crown tournaments at a location in the center of the kingdom. They have a huge problem getting bids because they allow the King and Queen to select their own Crown Tourney Site. Nothing like trying to reserve a place less than a year out. This proposed center site is over 7 hours from the edges of the kingdom. I guess that is an improvement since crown and coronation are usually held 12-14 hours from D.C.
