    In a way, I think this is deliberate from the setting's creator.  The intention is not to define the world into gridlock, but give folks a bare bones framework, and free reign to run in any direction desired.

    I was a teen when I got the GH box set (almost 30 years ago), and struggled to find a place for my own ideas.  I see other folks struggle with it, too (one post mentioned the "disservice" Darlene did with all of those green hexes: the hexes made the land feel overly defined and civilized).  I wrote this article to give a couple thought-experiments to break out of that non-existant constraint: as you point out, maybe 6% of the land is civilized....  If a DM wants it, then only 6% of the land (not 100%!) is controlled by the political entities of GH.

    The shackles are in our own mind.
