Let's face it. We have over 300 million people spread through a great terrain. We are extremely diverse in our needs, beliefs, and values. Many states can't have a certain amount of representatives because they are too big, and many states
So, why the heck not?
Here's my plan. I'm not a geographer, so my opinion probably isn't worth much.
Yeah, I know the names stink, but that's not important.
NNE is made up of many northern states. They tend to have large populations in cities, great businesses, and are considered progressive.
Dixieland is in the south, and they have a similar culture.
Virginia and NC are part of Atlantica instead of Dixieland because they have been influenced by Maryland. Florida shouldn't. It's possible to include Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
America Occidental was a bit tricky because Utah and Arizona were very conservative, while California and Nevada were liberal and Colorado and New Mexico are somewhat moderate. However, I'm not going to lump my state with Utah and Arizona without California, so it stays that way.
Heartland is where the plains are, and there are a few big cities, and is mainly focused on natural resources and agriculture.
NPU is generally liberal, with Idaho having more liberal cities. Montana, Alaska and Wyoming are more conservative, but they fit in.
Anyways, I think this will solve a lot of problems and we'll have a government that gets things done, even though this scenario is impossible.
Other ideas are: Put Oklahoma into Heartland, G
et rid of Atlantica, make the states (except Maryland, Florida, and Delaware) into Dixieland, make Texas its own country, Put Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri into NNE, not care about state borders, and a zillion other things.
EDIT: I'll keep updating.
Yeah, América Occidental would likely include the other territories in the pacific.
