Aw, Star, step up as Wreath one minute before stepping down as Star.
Plurality of office is period and ever so stylish!  (I love things
like "King of England, Duke of Normandy, Brittany, and Aquitaine,
Count of Anjou and Maine, Lord of Ireland, Overlord of Scotland".)
If there are vacant regional and local offices, you can one-up the
Pope with title stacking.

To descend into seriousness: I've seen it suggested that a prolonged
100% pass rate is an indication that a kingdom may be rejecting too
much, not letting thru the borderline cases that could have gotten
thru with a shove and a wish.  But I've not read our returns to say.

I blush to say how little I know about Ansteorran geography and exact
locations of groups, so I think it good to mention real-world
locations too.  Bordermarch is around Beaumont, Port Arthur, and
Orange, Texas, which are just south of I-10 and snuggled up against
the Louisiana border, roughly 2 hours east of Houston (sayeth Google
Maps).
