Don't want to derail this thread, but all Lincoln legislative chamber numbers were copied exactly from IRL, so this shouldn't be causing mass chaos
I can assure you, these are not the RL numbers.
viii. New York: 150 members of the State Senate and 63 members of the State House of Representatives

Yeah I became aware that they were switched afterwards, and have an amendment to fix that (and some other minor fixes) on the floor, right now
Yet you are shocked that having your legislative sizes reversed would cause mass chaos.
In fairness reversed legislature sizes, while rare, are not unheard of.
The UK is a decent example, where the House of Lords is larger than the House of Commons. Although it is a very different political system
No. I am fairly sure the UK House of Lords is the only example in the world (among national parliaments).
And of course the UK House of Lords is not fixedly larger than the House of Commons. It just so happens that
right now there are enough life peers to bring the total over the size of the Commons.
