CR - Central Principality

[Paul Mitchell]

Galen again!

Here's the actual rules of the game regarding principalities:

**********
_Corpora_ V.A.2. Principalities. A principality is a part of a 
kingdom which has the right to select a reigning Prince and 
Princess by combat. A branch or contiguous group of branches
within a kingdom may petition for principality status if the 
resulting entity would fulfill the requirements listed below.

   a. At least 100 subscribing members.

   b. A full staff of prospective Great Officers, each of whom 
      is acceptable to the kingdom officer responsible for the 
      direction of that aspect of Society activity, and such other 
      officers as kingdom law and custom may require.

   c. A name and device registered with the College of Arms. 

   d. Consensus favoring advancement in branch status, among 
      the members in the proposed principality. 

   e. A record of well-attended events together with regular 
      study or guild meetings, demonstrations, and other educational 
      activities for the benefit of the members and the community at 
      large. 

   f. Sufficient members of the orders conferring Patents of Arms 
      to foster the development of those orders and the skills 
      they represent within the principality. 

   g. Sufficient fighters of such caliber as to provide appropriate 
      competition for the Coronet.

   h. A body of principality law which provides for the maintenance 
      and succession of the Coronet, and for any other matters delegated 
      or permitted by the parent kingdom. Draft laws, in the form they 
      will be presented to the victors of the first Coronet Lists, must 
      accompany a petition for principality status.
**********

As I see it, we presently lack c), d), and h), of which only d) above
would be hard to do (maybe).  (Note:  Steppes by itself could probably
qualify, just by passing around a petition.)
