The
general case of a strategic secession goes something like this:
- Realm A and Realm B start a war (who declares is pretty much immaterial).
- Realm A looks at its multiple duchies, and feels like their capital is too far from the front.
- Realm A secedes the duchy with the city closest to the front.
Forming a new realm in enemy territory has never really been considered a strategic secession, whatever method has been used to accomplish it.
