If you guys in Darka want more fun, split into 4-5 realms based on your duchies and duke it out. CE will leave you alone. Just look to your east, how much fun do Barony, ML, RE and Heorot have at the moment!
I think our king suggested to CE that Darka be split in two(north and south. We do have a prince and princess so there's potential for some great fun there if they'd start feuding over who's the rightful ruler of all of Darka). Rejected.
We offered to secede Massillion duchy, rejected(according to CE ruler such a secession is not really losing a duchy
).
Splitting into 4-5 realms just isn't going to happen and I wouldn't trust CE to keep its nose out of it even if we did do it.
