Well, a central location would be more acceptable than way on one far corner of the Kingdom. Granted it's a decent site. And so far Cinci has repeatedly stepped in to host when they can't GET anybody else. So I suppose that permanence would make it easier on them. But I still think it's a bad idea.

I don't think enough people have ever sat down and thought about the ins and outs of becoming a Principality and what it really means. The Middle tends to drive its more recalcitrant regions to break away. But it doesn't have to be that way. Especially if its done not out of pique, but out of motivation for the area to become something more than it currently is. My $0.02.
