	No principalities are NOT bad things.  The problem is that every
time
	a sector of a kingdom feels left out the first thing I ever HEAR
is
	"the principality cry".  We don't feel we get enough X thus a
principality
	would help because then we wouldn't have so far to travel, etc
etc.
	I understand the theory.  Meridies is going through the same
thing.
	In my mind they've now created 2 long kingdoms with just as much
	travel "grief".  The only thing that bugs me is how fast
individuals
	want to ask for a principality the second there's a lot of
travel involved.
	The problem is that the idea doesn't always fix the problem that
it is
	supposed to fix and in my personal opinion, people want to try
the idea
	way too quickly.  Just my personal experiences, anyway.
