That's really a rather ridiculous idea. That wouldn't be fun for *anyone* at all, watching their realms fall shrink and fall apart due to entropy. It also won't significantly change the political landscape at all. The remnants of realms would really have no incentive to shift things around. No new realms would form because there wouldn't be enough players to do it. Things wouldn't change for the better in any significant way, they would just wither and die.
If you want to see some big changes you need /more/ players. That way realms like Darka and Eston have the players available to do things like run a CTO, or capture a duchy and spin off a realm. Heck, Darka/EstonBoM squatted in Coria's capital for a week. You can sure bet that if we had 20 spare nobles, I would have called in a TO unit and started a CTO.
Nonsense. As I said earlier, back in 05 or 06 when there were easily enough plays to go around making colonies, it simply did not happen. Your idea is based on the presupposition that every noble of every realm is in love with their realm and wants to see it survive for some kind of weird artifical nationalistic feeling (I've boldened the place where you've implied this). How can you possibly say there would be no incentive to move things around? There is always incentive to move things around, incentive coming from players who do not occupy the hotshot positions (not you). What there isn't an abundance of, is opportunity, without opportunity, those with incentives cannot fulfill them. A cutting of the nobles of the current realms would (I would put money it) see the rise of many new realms.
