How about Districts? Obviously not yet but when we are larger or more widespread.
As a few of us are spread out Barons

should be instated to keep general watch, recruitment and improvement.
IE. If the North Baron

notices a few IA villages going up for grabs, he can notify via the War Room, his other nearby Villagers and permit War to be declared upon those IA's without having to go through the Lords (providing theyre Unaligned of course.)
Obviously the Lords have ultimate veto, however in their absence the "ticking crock!" continues (Kim Jong Il

).
Also this way, if any of our members get attacked, the Baron can act as a third party. He can receive a statement from the defender and a statement from the attacker and present it to the LoW.
The Baron of course must be unbiased when collecting information, and it prevents heated misinformation from the defendant/attacker.
