Richard Fairbourne here. Let me annswer this question again. IF this
principality goes forth and if seawinds is included in the proposal then
La MArche Sauvage would almost certainly be included as well in the
proposal. All members within the proposed region that are sustaining
would get to cast their vote in favor  or against the proposed
principality. We can not have a principality between one part of the
kingdom and another without a connecting border(ie la marche sauvage).
If the principality went to kingdom one day you would have one group
seperated from its mother kingdom by another kingdom. I do not believe
that the sneschalate or the board would allow this. Of course La Marche
sauvage will be able to cast their votes and try to sway others to their
thinking, which could hurt the principality proposal as a whole. A real
simple solution would be to keep the present southern region as the
principality and none of this other stuff would apply. We have a long
way to go on this issue and maybe something else could be worked down
the line.
