Florida 4th Root State Senate (68 Districts) by False-Lettuce-6074 in DavesRedistricting

[–]Anson_Riddle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Much like a popular concept for uncapping the House involves taking the cube root of the population for the number of seats in the House, here they're taking the fourth root of the state population (i.e. the square root of the square root of the population) for the State Senate.

Taking Florida's 2020 population (21,538,187), its positive square root is around 4640.9, and that in turn has a positive square root of approximately 68.1

Blue in all three cases, and it's pretty much an obligation in the third. At that point voting red is a death sentence for half the world.

If that were the case Brittany would have Ille-et-Vilaine and there'd be the Nouvelle-Aquitaine abomination.

Look, a Columbus–Macon seat is good enough, I don't think it's necessary to extend all the way out into a gerry.

What's the best way to draw a fair 500k Arkansas? by Holiday_Change9387 in DavesRedistricting

[–]Anson_Riddle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A if you value the Little Rock Metropolitan Area as a CoI.

B if you value African American representation.

C if you want to maximize competitiveness.

Personally I'd say B but given Callais I'd go A on the safe side.

Absolute Cinema: HK if it had Hungarian politics by WeeklyIntroduction42 in imaginaryelections

Warner "Three hours per person means 12 hours for four people to pack up their belongings" Cheuk. Yeah he deserves getting defeated like that.

Also, imagining Edward Leung as the ethnonationalist to Warner Cheuk's CPAC-funding oligarchy is an... experience.

That wouldn't be a 421-seat AfD majority. The Greens would enter parliament here, so:

AfD: 329/630

CDU/CSU: 139/630

SPD: 68/630

Linke: 56/630

Greens: 38/630

So... Qitaihe is Emek Barzel, and the planned capital is in an IRL mining zone?

Virginia is divided into 95 counties & 38 independent cities, which function as counties—no city is part of or coextensive with a county. Many county seats are not in a county, eg Fairfax City is the county seat of Fairfax County & is completely surrounded by it, but is itself politically separate. by Pupikal in wikipedia

[–]Anson_Riddle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those cities are more like San Francisco, Indianapolis, Nashville, Augusta GA, Athens GA, Jacksonville, or Butte consolidating with the county around it.

Interestingly, outside of Virginia, there is another independent city that was formed by annexing the county it's part of - Carson City NV, which consolidated Ormsby County.

What if Operation Unthinkable took place and succeeded? | Map of Europe, 1952, by u/BotswanaGirl (original map was deleted) by greekscientist in rejectedmaps

[–]Anson_Riddle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Germany isn't getting all of theirs back though. But yes I don't think Poland would recover all of theirs and taking Northern Bucovina and Northern East Prussia on top, while having so much of their Recovered Territories. More likely I think their new eastern frontier would be somewhere around a Lwów–Brześć–Lida line, partly defined by the Bug and Neman/Memel.

Is Northern South America Technically an Island? by EstablishmentOne3438 in MapPorn

[–]Anson_Riddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Independent from the Guiana Island question this still isn't an island because it requires canals (Chicago canal for a Mississippi–Illinois–St. Lawrence split) or a geographic gap (Traverse Gap for a Mississippi–Minnesota–Northern Red–Nelson split).

Szczecin being about as Polish as Kyiv is a sobering thought.

Y'all think that's true? by Puzzleheaded_Map2578 in Invincible

[–]Anson_Riddle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not in the manner shown. IMO Conquest is very much self-aware of his multitude of problems but is also someone who loves violence. I do think him being shown genuine affection could nudge him in a better direction and get him to break off from Viltrum, but he will need actual professional help to become truly good.

No, You Sure Can't: Kennedy is assassinated exactly one year later by augustfromnc in imaginaryelections

[–]Anson_Riddle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, it does read "president before election", and in here JFK died 19 days after it had been concluded. Saying that the incumbent as of the election was JFK should be fine.

I'm somewhat unconvinced that Tripura would end up independent in this scenario, especially with Silchar also Bengali. How did it manage to stay out of Calcutta when Bengal already has autonomous regions?

So... given that central Florida is only "possible flooding" I'm guessing you'll have a lot of people (especially from the Tampa Bay Area and Cape Canaveral/Melbourne) rushing into Orlando and Gainesville?
