My question though is why are so few provinces using their pool that with over 3000 provinces on the server, just using your pool without being hit puts you in the top 50 land rankings? You'd think that with war win bonuses and pool use and attacking, there could be a good chunk of the server larger. I would love to see more provinces want to grow.
Because growing a province is just setting up your acres to be taken by growing kds. Without a group effort you're just setting the table for kds that make acres their life mission. I've always found it more fun to see how big you can get without exploring anything.

That would be a cool stat if it can be tracked somehow, biggest province with zero explored.
