Then here's my other opinion on this:

There is no way a person could realistically play ruling council positions in two 
realms that are at war with each other. Especially in two realms that are, 
essentially, hereditary enemies, such as Sirion and Perdan. If I were a noble in 
Perdan where you were judge, and one of your other characters was appointed 
general of Sirion, I would immediately begin a campaign to have you removed 
as Judge of Perdan.

Not every rule or restriction in the game has an IC explanation. Indeed, if the 
game were entirely IC, there would be *no* restrictions, as restrictions are 
intrinsically OOC. This rule is there to help insure that the maximum number of 
people are afforded the chance to take part in the running of a realm.

If I were in charge, I would probably go even farther, and restrict it to no more 
than one council position per account, period. Perhaps even one region 
ownership per account.
