Something I noticed.  Chris, when you were determining whether number of provinces affected the number of events, you used a territory size of 4 vs 8.

 This was clearly (to me) not a test of whether terrority size affects the number of events.  Simply not enough provinces to provide any meaningful results.  Then when a test comes along using larger number of provinces that actually might provide an accurate test of the hypothesis, you bash it.  But you bash it by comparing it to your 4 vs 8 province test!  Everyone else can make up their own minds, but I find a significant lack of objectivity here.
