Regional Identity (was Re: NR - Maybe this is a stupid comment, but...)

[Rebecca M. Heydon]

I tend to agree with the idea that creating a regional identity is not
creating a sense of isolationalism from the rest of Ansteorra.  I also think
keeping Tribute as an event supporting our kingdom is a wonderful idea.
It's not just a shire or canton or barony showing idividual group support
for the kingdom but an entire region!  To me, that seems terribly patriotic.
:-)

I do have one question though:  Is there something "wrong" with creating a
regional identity?  (please realize I'm not using the "P" word here....just
a regional identity)
