And, if you create a colony in Sallowtown today, you shouldn't come and complain that your realm is too poor to stand a chance of surviving and that you should be given a few more food-producing regions to stand a chance.
All realms start the same, and their location shapes their destiny. It would be unfair to change the lands after the fact, unfair to those who chose to go somewhere else than this place because they saw the land as too poor.
What's fair is to give an equal chance to everyone by giving them equal information and stability of the underlying facts.
