I would also like to agree with Ld. Johan on this issue.
Using an economics principle, it's simply economies of 
scale. At some point an organization gets too large, layers
of red tape and administration drag down profitability to 
the point that each additional unit of production is an
actual decrease in profitability. The trick is to find the
top of the curve where size and production value are maximized.
Harder said than done. No idea if I agree with the idea of
splitting up the kingdom or not (I am very new to this) but
I did want to support Ld. Johan's point.
Respectfully,
Michael of Glaslyn (who needs a good SCA name still)
