A Principality will not ease pressure on the Kingdom Calendar. If a
group in the P of ? is having an event it will still be on the Kingdom
Calendar. If you are in a P there will be at least four protected
weekends you will loose ( 2 Coronet tourneys and two coronations) as a
possibility for your event.

 Very good point. If Bugtussel is having an event and it is five hours
closer than Steppes this would be a help in keeping the home folks
around.

BINGO! A Prince and Princess to ease the royal burden and administrative
help that is badly needed. A Principality  or two makes good common
sense. You don't even have to grow up and leave home. Also add Treasurer
to those passing paperwork up to a higher level.
