Another reason for my opposition is the change to Lincoln's unique form of government. Currently, Lincoln is the only region which gives more power to the legislature than the executive. This allows for the legislature to keep the executive in check and prevent executive abuse.
I am always up for some classical whiggery, however it must be noted that legislative supremacy is just as much a problem as executive tyranny. I would direct one's attention to a certain fictional universe with a state called North Carolina.
Generally speaking it is best to have the wings on the plane equal in length. Executive and Legislative, Federal and Regional, etc.
