Since I was not at all active during the regions' period (yeah, I logged in and posted every other ... year ) I have very little knowledge or understanding of the whole regions thing. This part of the plaza's history is therefore quite hard for me to parse, since it's like trying to understand Chinese using the Rosetta stone. (Okay, it ain't that bad, but still.)

KEY
This colour for 1st regions rulers, beginning in Dec 2009.
I am not entirely sure when the changeover from kingdoms to regions happened - late 2009? And I am not sure when (apparently Apr 2016) the membership 'voted' for no more rulers, since everyone became an admin and no more rulers were appointed, but I assume that the introduction of Mayors will enlighten us on that event. This thread will therefore need to link closely with that one.
So anyway this info is probably a huge mess, since I am assuming locations for ranks according to guesswork, and I am not really inspired by it; if someone wants to take it on (or take on an area and clean it up) ... please do so!
