Not necessarily. As has been mentioned before, the West Kingdom is almost 
completely made up of principalities: The Mists around San Francisco Bay; 
Cynagua, which I believe covers Sacramento and Nevada; and Oertha, which is 
Alaska. The only part of the West that's *not* a principality is the part 
in Japan and Korea.

I'm not sure if you could call the overall kingdom structure "invisible" 
either. You'd still have a King and Queen, and kingdom-level events, as 
well as kingdom officers to whom the principality officers need to report. 
Now if Principality X decides that it wants to go off and form its own 
kingdom (as happened in the West years ago with Atenveldt, Caid and An Tir) 
then the overall size of the kingdom would decrease, but the parent kingdom 
would still be there.
