Declare a secession and then have similar-looking flags? Agree to a supra-national government system? Wish granted?
Something like that, yes. I was going to suggest it to Ibladesh using the Church as the glue for the "empire". In essence the highest power would still be located in the city of Ibladesh (having the rest of the dukes as "sub-kings"), but the dukes would have their own realm to run. This would allow for many more positions opening up (requiring less effort), thus probably attracting more players. Next to that, taxes can be increased by an average of 5% without problem.
The problem is that multiple guilds would need to be established to make sure that the current message groups don't go lost. You really don't want 5 generals to cooperate in a mutual war...
