Seriously though, the longer you wait, the stronger your kingdom will become, and the harder your first war as a rebel will be. Had you started your own kingdom before destroying the Nords, the chances would've been that some Nord Jarls might have joined you. Plus, the more kingdoms your faction will be fighting, the less it'll want to be bogged with rebels, so you might be let off easy, and they might to you, come suing for peace.
Im not even sure how to declare independence. Also, my right to rule was only 3 until very recently. Plus with my new castle I can now lead something like 130 men, where before I could only do like 100.
