I like the estates concept, where nobles can support their home  
region without actually being there.  Perhaps it should be possible  
to hire a peasant militia to spend a week raising production or  
hunting down rebels, and then leave the region.  (Said militia could  
then be slaughtered by a foe or by monsters or undead should the  
owner fail to protect them)
