Fun.  I think Princes would be fun.  I think Coronet lists would be fun.  
I think inter-principality wars would be fun.  I think that more orders 
would be fun.

Good.  I think principality offices would be good.  I think getting 
baronies to work together would be good.  I think principality courts (in 
the sense of a group of people around the prince, not in the sense of 
listening to heralds drone) would be good.

Again.  I am not trying to justify principalities to solve Atlantia's 
problems.  Bren's raised one problem, as he sees it, and already we have 
four different positions on it.  We can talk about how principalities 
bear on Atlantia's problems just as soon as you give me the approved list 
of problems.  How can I use the effects of principalities on problems as 
a justification, when you can not provide me with an agreed upon list of 
problems.  I've tried that route.  It does not work.

Thank you for asking.
