Salve iterum, thou Fount of Creativity!
You look like me a year ago, when I was trading SVR Wallpaper designs with Tiberius Draco. (We may revive that project yet; meanwhile, I have a ready-to-go template for some bookmarks.)
You want to be careful with 'Salve'. One transliteration and you're greeting people as 'Slave'. Even the redoubtable Marius, who has been one hell of a workhorse certainly...but never a slave. >({|;-)
On Provincia (the real reason I'm writing), in Concilium I've expressed the view that they are essentially something for us to grow into. We have only one at present, Provincia Belgica; its existence helps the Belgian contingent and doesn't hurt anyone else, so I'm personally for leaving Provinciae open as an option when we achieve critical mass in a given area. I'm not unduly worried about how long that might take.
In short, we haven't actually decided to get rid of the Provinciae, so I'm still rolling along as if we have them. If something breaks, you'll know!
(Culturally, Mexico is really a better fit with Central America...but this is all hypothetical anyway, isn't it? Nothing wrong with a good thought-experiment.)
In fide,
Aldus Marius Peregrinus.
