So basically Madina is a functional basketcase state?
What do you mean with basket case? or functional?
Madina fucntions as it it does but it is by far one of the most uneficient realms in BM.
It has to much individual freedom for lords and there is no real feeling of nationalism.
It creates fun situations especialy with so many typical characters.
But it isn't really efficient.
Indivdual people gain wealth and the republic gains nothing, and it will only expand based on personal ambitions by certain governors(dukes).
A split will thus very unlikley happen.
The realm it's self is split enough as it is.
