Once a group has become a Shire, their next elevation would be to [[Province]] or [[Barony]], although there is no requirement for a Shire to change its [[branch]] status.

			In the early days of the SCA, and in areas where population density is low, shires often spring up out of nowhere. As the amount of unclaimed (for SCA purposes) land goes down, one finds shires splitting off from a [[Barony]] or a [[Province]], often after having been a [[Canton]] or a [[Riding]] first.
