Hi Dodgy

I have FREEDOM as my answer.

A fiefdom is an area controlled by a Fuedal Lord.

Hi smithy!

Can't agree with you on this one.

"noun
1.the estate or domain of a feudal lord.
2.Informal. anything, as an organization or real estate, owned or controlled by one dominant person or group.

"organization or real estate, owned or controlled by one dominant person or group."

"Something over which one dominant person or group exercises control: 'long the independent head of a powerful fiefdom within the Police Department' (David Burnham)."

Surely these would be describing one's sphere of influence?

Grateful your rationale for "freedom". Have to post off my entry and need to be convinced of a need to change my answer.

Hi Ragnel,

I have pondered over Smithy's reply as well. Have to agree with you, I will leave my answer as fiefdom. Even my father-in-law agrees. However The Judge will have the final say!!! Thanks for your reply.
