One of the problems with putting Bonwick in the Western Principality is
that leaves the northern principality with to small of a population base to
be viable.  Remember that the Stargate-Loch area and the Steppes-Elfsea
area each have over 3 million people to draw upon.  The entire northern
region has less than 3 million people to draw on.  When you look at the
size and the potential for growth of the groups in question the Oklahoma
area (8 at present) has the potential for maybe 2 more groups in the not to
distance future.  When you add in Barony of Bonwick, Shire of Adlesruhe,
and Shire of Brad Leah that brings to number 11 current groups.  That would
be about the minimum number (considering group sizes) required to maintain
and grow the area.  

My original thoughts would have been to split the Kingdom north--south at a
line just south of Emerald Keep.  This would make to strong Principalities
each with large populations to draw upon.
