A lot depends on *how* the split occurs, too. For example, Calontir was 
once a principality of the Middle Kingdom. The perception there was that 
the folks from the "central" Midrealm pretty much ignored Calontir, so when 
Calontir became its own kingdom they wanted to be as *unlike* the parent 
kingdom as possible (sort of like the conservative businessman's kid who 
grows up to be a biker and tattoo artist. <G>)

On the other hand, I don't think there are nearly as many hard feelings 
between, say, Northshield and the Midrealm or Gleann Abhann and Meridies.
