I agree with the parlimentary system for the national government, but I agree with keeping the regions in tact.  However, I propose in order to stimulate regional activity we shrink to three regions.

I propose the following three region map:



Blue = Dirty South
Red = East
Green = West

It is kind of hard to make a three region plan to keeps the Mideast in tact because of its location.  The only logical three region maps would dissolve the Mideast and Midwest into other regions

In the past, for redistricting, we used the number of voters in the last Presidential election for population purposes. I think it might be preferable to the number of registered voters.
I was just thinking the same thing.  The West contained about 10 SDP voters that have never participated in Atlasia.

As I've said, I object to any map that does not keep all of the Old Confederacy in one region.

What a bizarre, immature and pointless demand.
Yea I must say, extreme Zionism and extreme Confederate pride do not go hand and hand for starts

I don't think population and/or parties should be considered.  It is way to easy to self-gerrymand as the RPP has proved

I think Verily brings up (perhaps intentionally) another good point that carpetbagging isn't always successful.  It worked in the Dirty South because the RPP came in and dominated what was, for the most part, a completely dead region.

On the other hand, the SDP decided to build a base in the Pacific which epically failed.
