I have a fairly simplistic approach to this, I just like opportunities to play while doing the various things I enjoy (as in learning/researching and showing off/using various projects and cooking) which can manifest itself through various levels from Kingdom to Barony, Canton or Shire.
Almost all of my play and volunteerism has taken place at Barony, Shire and Regional levels be it through making scrolls, donations/projects, teaching, event help, offices or cooking... oddly, even doing some of this at the kingdom level have not really imparted a feeling of playing at the Kingdom level and I really don't know why. ...I'm guessing it could possibly be to do with not being able to travel out to non-local Kingdom events. The only real connection I may feel is through my work within the A&S/cooking crowd.
Do you get aggravated when you feel your area is neglected? When nobody local has gotten recognized, even though YOU feel they deserve it? Yes, I do... I used to live in a shire and it was very frustrating to see so many people overlooked, worse to see so little of anything that Baronies and more central groups were getting.
Does fighting under a Baronial or Shire banner make you feel more part of the Barony, at the expense of feeling like part of the Region of Kingdom? I have worn Baronial colours (they gave out baldrics to those who authorize in one of the martial arts) and it had not left me feeling any less a part of the parent groups... not sure if it would be different in a Kingdom, or multi kingdom, setting however.
Do household loyalties interefere? I have been in multikingdom houses and found they did not interfere at all but have been very aware of houses that had 'loyalty to house first' rules. I have gone to events that had high household presence with no Barony/Shire/kingdom presence at all so can guess that some houses can interfere.
