[@BlackBishop] You mention that you want each country to have three provinces, is this rule concrete? Would I be lynched/rejected if I had more than three?

You may carve up the political boundaries as you like. The main reason I say three is for wars - an enemy is able to take up to 1/3 of your kingdom upon a successful invasion per turn.
