And in Virginia, where the group boundaries don't necessarily follow
county lines at all.

One could get the ZIP code list from the kingdom web site, then head to
http://zip.langenberg.com and proceed to do a cross-match.

For example... Stierbach has the western corner of Fairfax County VA
(where I live). Starting at the Potomac River, the border follows the
Fairfax/Loudoun county line until route 28 crosses into Fairfax County,
then the border follows 28 down to just south of the EDS building, cuts
east along Wall Road (route 645) to Centreville Road, then south 2 blocks
to Lees Corner Road, follows Lees Corner down to Route 50, east on 50 one
block, then south on Stringfellow Road (all addresses using Stringfellow
on both sides are in Chantilly per USPS) down to Route 29, then east on 29
for one block, the follow a zigzagging line down to the Occoquan River
which doesn't follow any road for any length of time...

One begins to see how this could be a rather complicated process. (That
was just one example...)
