The problem is that most realms are just highly entrenched, and the players in them are afraid of losing their power. I also hope for a huge shakeup. If a couple duchies could start emancipating themselves from some of the larger realms Atamara would become quite the interesting Island. As it is I just stick around because I really want to see CE finally see that E part become a misnomer. They have been a true Empire for far to long now ruling of Tara and Talerium, and essentially the diplomacy of all of southern Atamara.
