What is a "Shire?"
For internal purposes, the SCA
is organized into geographic entities called "branches" with somewhat
fanciful names. SCA
branches are often hard to define in terms of "real-world" nations,
states, and territories.
In decending order of size, the kinds of branches you are likely
to encounter are:
1. Kingdoms (largest)
2. Principalities, Regions, and Crown
Principalities
3. Baronies, Provinces, Shires, and Strongholds
4. Cantons and Ridings (smallest)
Where is Coppertree located?
The Shire of Coppertree is a branch of the Society
for Creative Anachronism or SCA that is located in the Oneida,
Rome, and Utica areas of Central New York State. For directions
to our meetings, see the Events and Activities section.
