The same thing was said of Northshield, even as recently as five years
ago.  They're investing their second Prince and Princess in two months.
I fully expect to see their first Coronation within a decade or so.
And I can remember several East Kingdom Crowns and kingdom officers
boldly stating that Drachenwald could _never_ be large enough to be a
kingdom.  Now, Nordmark (Sweden) is nearly kingdom size on it's own.

A Kingdom's only 400+ people.  There nothing that says that they've all
got to show up at every event.  Based on populations that I've seen
for the Panhandle and Oklahoma, I certainly think it's doable.

What matters, though, is what the folks living there want.
