Cause we're more important than you. *big wink*

I *think* the original design was to allow those shires and cantons in
the grey areas to choose which way to go based on their needs and
associations.

The majority of the population centers are in the Baronies and they are
the ones who will make or break the Principality issue in the beginning.

Myself as well.

We still want you! Without the smaller groups, there wouldn't be any new
baronies. Without smaller groups, there wouldn't be as many new people.
(Stagnation always worries me.) Without smaller groups, we wouldn't have
anyone to pick on. (Okay, maybe we would, but it wouldn't be as fun. *wink*)
