Actually, it will be the other way around.  Aethelmearc has been approved,
their first Crown Tourney will be this year (1997).  Artemisia is on its
way, their Crown date hasn't been set yet (I don't think).

Actually, that was one of the big concerns with Aethelmearc going kingdom.
The East, the Middle and Aethelmearc have all signed an agreement (a treaty
or whatever) that determines how Pennsic will be run, how profits will be
divided, how site selection will work, etc - it seems to be pretty thorough
in its coverage of issues that might arise in the future.  

Hope this answers your questions.
