I'd have to disagree with this statement.  In the past ten years, 
the North has fielded three Kingdom Seneschals, a Kingdom Treasurer, 
four Kingdom Chroniclers, three Earl Marshals (one of whom served 
twice), a Kingdom Minister of Children and a Lord High Chancellor 
(I'm sure I'm forgetting others, too).  There was also an entire host 
of deputy heralds (star signet, sable scroll, etc.), treasurers (bad 
checks deputy, emergency deputy), marshals (kingdom marshals at 
large) etc.  That's a lot of influence from our little region, yet it 
was influence that the kingdom strongly felt.  

I do think folks up here are kinda tired administratively speaking 
which might account for the lack of Oklahoma addresses in the 
current roster of Kingdom Officers (this accounts for the few 
Northern deputies, as well, since Kingdom officers tend to pull from 
those closest to them to fill deputy positions).  However, I wouldn't 
be surprised to see that trend change in the future.  We've got lots 
of strong regional officers that might aspire to kingdom positions in 
the future.
