Fritz, you're a good man but I don't know if attaching an inactive left wing region that doesn't really have elections to an inactive region that really doesn't have elections is much of a solution at all.
Yup, this.
We could adopt the tri-regional plan, we could shorten/remove the time limit on movement, we could launch a migration encouragement program... this should just be the ideas for fixing the regions thread.
Yes, yes, we need an effort to try to attract people to the less populated regions from the Northeast. This level of activity happened before in ~2005/2006 and we did the same thing.
