Good luck getting everybody to agree to that - The changes couldn't take effect until every Region had agreed.

Besides, I'm sure Opebo wants to stay in the most sexually liberal Region in Atlasia.

The changes couldn't take effect until every Region had agreed.

Wait, every region in this act has to agree for a change to be made? If so, then one change being put down while others approved could unfairly void all changes.

Exactly why I wouldn't put it all in a single bill.

But its not stupid; Look at this way:

If the Northeast were to refuse to assent then DE would not be ceded to the Mideast.

If the Mideast doesn't get what it was expecting to under the Act then its assent is void and therefore VA and MO are not ceded to the Southeast and Midwest respectively.

If the Midwest doesn't get what it was expecting then its ceding of NM and OK is void.

And so on.

Basically, this map would need everybody's assent before it could take effect, because the changes are lined up like dominoes.

That is a bad deal.  It is like wanting to buy two cars and you can't buy either because you can only pay for one.

What? Your analogy makes no sense.

Effectively if the Mideast agrees to the changes laid out it expects to get DE and lose VA and MO. If it doesn't get DE, you are honestly suggesting that its consent to losing VA and MO still stands?

Perhaps you are correct.  The solution may be to change what King complained about above, so that one disagreement dosen't grind the whole proccess to a stop.

The solution is simple - pass one Law for each change/swap rather than trying to omnibus them.
