Neither do I, but like Daniel said, that is not being proposed. Just
because several regions are discussing the possibility of becoming a
principality, does not mean that any of them want to carve up
Ansteorra. I am in the Southern Region, and our discussions have
nothing to do with what happens in the rest of Ansteorra. We are
looking at whether or not this is right for us.

I can't really argue against this one, I just disagree. I think that
creating something new will be great fun, and it makes sense to me.
I take great joy in the act of creation, and this is something that
I can help to create, with a large group of good friends.
And then in another post Sigrid said,
I will still travel, even if it gets carved up into eight
pieces, but it's a pity we all won't be Ansteorra.
Why is it that everyone hears the word principality, and immediately
thinks that we won't be Ansteorrans. Yes, in order to be a kingdom,
you must first be a principality, but that second step is not
required. In our Southern Regions discussions, I have often reminded
people that even if they want to become a new kingdom, it may not be
possible.
As I have said often. My backing goes to a plan for a small
principality. I want the fun of creating a principality, and for the
near future at least I have no desire to split away from Ansteorra.
I want to help create a principality, but I have no desire (for now)
to break away from Ansteorra. It is my hope that if I ever have a
desire to break away from Ansteorra, it will only be because my
Principality has finally developed and grown to the point where the
logical step is independence. I hope that if that day ever comes, it
will come without anger or hurt feelings. Far too many kingdoms bear
the wounds a messy split, and I would rather have the principality
continue in perpetuity, rather than have another kingdom bear those
wounds.
Now, I am going back to the Southern List and talk about our
principality plans. Ya' all go do the same, but only if you want to.
