One of my biases that I neglected to mention: I'm a Yankee
One of my thoughts on the principality that I neglected to mention: I'd
personally like to see two principalities: New England and Canada.
I have lots of reasons for this, but I know this leaves out upstate NY, which
is a natural border.  It's partly my nature as a cataloger (librarian) to see
things neat and tidy.  I know Canada is feeling isolated, but even a northern
NE/Canada principality wouldn't solve transportation problems and costs.  I do
realize my preferred borders are not realistic, so don't feel you must point
this out-hope I didn't open too big a can of worms.  This discussion, for the
most part has been enlightening.  It will probably go a long way to hashing
things out in Carolingia.  I wonder how many "Northerners" get Carolingia list. 
Too bad the discussion couldn't go further afield.  I'd like to know what
others are thinking other than the the rumors I occasionally hear.
