If you were to run Kingmaker somewhere else on Golarion, where would you run it?

Just curious about other viable spots for the game.

Galt, Linnorm, Mwangi, or Arcadia.

It needs the wilderness aspect, so somewhere like Mwangi would work. Or if you wanted to make it tougher you could go for the Storval Planes or the Realm of the Mammoth Lords.

Without the politics of the Outlaw Council and the River Kingdoms it would be quite a different game.

I think that Galt would be a great setting if you take Redcelt's Game of Thrones and file some serial numbers off.

In the largely unmapped territory north of the Lands of the Linnorm Kings, between the Stormspear Mountains and Rimethirst Mountains.

Not exactly what the OP is asking, but I run Kingmaker in a completely different campaign setting. I have mine in a world called Golarion, which is the world surrounding Monte Cook's Ptolus: City by the Spire campaign. My KM campaign is set far to the east between the Cherubar mountains and the Whitewind Sea.

I had considered Mwangi, possibly as a way for the Chelish colonists of Sargava to get "out from under" the pirates of the Shackles and possibly make peace with the Mwangi around them.

The Storval Plateau is possible but it is very arid and inhospitable. Varisia is very well developed, though, which is a plus. Possibly the Nolands or Velashu Uplands might work. You could work Brinewall Castle in.

North of the Land of the Linnorm Kings the land is not arable, so you would not be able to build farms and would rely on fishing for food. It's possible to run a kingdom that way, but definitely hard.

Galt would be tricky, as the setting is a lot more complex. Likewise it is fairly well settled. But a wilderness near Galt would be a possibility.

Arcadia is more of a "New World" setting and that could work but would be very different. It was one of the first things that occurred to me.

I had thought about east of Taldor. It's not on the map really. The area there is supposed to be wasteland technically claimed by the Empire of Kelesh, but there could be habitable yet abandoned land there which thanks to the influence of Rovagug in the pit of Gomuz might have a bunch of weird critters.

Any other ideas?

Iobaria! You even get a gazetteer to work from in Kingmaker.

Beat me to it. It's an even better environment for the game than the River kingdoms if I'm honest.

Something about Molthune sending settlements into Nirmathas just feels right. Promises of becoming a new lord generals, control of an army, chance to prove yourself as a statesman.

Daimyomaker!

Players are in Shokuro in the Dragon Empires before the land is fully pacified. Their 'kingdom' will be one of the provinces...

I've been toying with some place in Ustalav, reclaiming areas that have been abandoned since the wars against the Whispering Tyrant. But then, I want a heavy occult/Lovecraftian feel to the campaign anyway. Arcadia would also work, though... Hmm...
