If you have so many more regions than nobles, maybe you shouldn't have so many regions.
It's not like anyone keeps the regions lordless on purpose for the enjoyment of this character. I'd welcome anyone to come over and rule these regions permanently. OOCly, I'd also welcome anyone coming to try and wrestle them away from us.
There is no victim here. There is no set-up to abet any abuse. There are just a lot of regions with monthly elections and a character who sees more profit to be made by ruling over a different region than his own. This happens all the time when there is an election; we just happen to have very many right now.
