Scripsit Logan:
> atlantia is a small kingdom geographically.

This is not as true as it once was. Trimaris, AEthelmearc, Atenveldt, and 
Caid all have noticeably fewer square miles than Atlantia; Meridies and 
Gleann Abhann are each slightly larger. The East Kingdom is only larger 
due to including Quebec and the Maritime Provinces of Canada.

In these days when it is nearly twice as expensive to go anywhere as it 
was two years ago, I am afraid that we must all resign ourselves to seeing 
less of our further-away friends. I am hearing this from friends in the 
East, Calontir, Northshield, Gleann Abhann, the Outlands and Artemisia. 
(And let's not think too hard about how long it takes to cross An Tir!)

I have no simple or easy conclusions to draw, and even if I did I would 
not expect to be able to convince anyone who was not already inclined 
towards similar conclusions.
