Perhaps we could get the mighty Atnerks to comment on his opinion of how
hard it would be.....

I have to agree with cedman on this. I think the 1000 peasants should be
treated basically as sheep, who won't throw off the 1 man-goverment by
themselves; all the independent-minded people are already player characters,
their controlled units, or independent units. I definitely agree that the
solution to the 1-man government problem is having some player with a few
troops show up and oust him. No game mechanism required.
Additionally, if it requires a building of some sort to rule a province,
it would probably take more than one man to build a structure anyhow.
