Odd... the less people the country has the less represented the country is with MPs?

Australia 1 for every 134,000 (pop 20,000,000)
Canada 1 for every 104,000 (pop 30,000,000)
UK 1 for every 92,000 (pop 60,000,000)

New Zealand is an exception. At 4 million people it has a seat for every 58,000.

Makes me think the U.S. needs some more congressional districts.

Currently, the U.S. has one representative for approximately every 680,000. It would need about 3,000 representatives to match Canada or the UK.

Yeah and where are we going to find the space for that?

We can graba  large, useless area.  I suggest the entirety of Canada.  Send the people living there to Australia.  I want to hear what funny accent emerges from that blending.

The best answer is dividing the U.S. into several different countries.

We tried that... USA, CSA and the Republic of Texas. Didn't work out too well! (Even the Kingdom of Hawaii and the California Republic for purists!)

Second time's the charm!
