The United States of Roughly Equal Population


This map, via Matt Yglesias, shows what it would be like if we divided America into "states" that had roughly equal populations. If each territory had two representatives in the Senate, rural states wouldn't be overrepresented in the upper chamber and large cities, like Boston and Detroit, would have their own senators. Missouri, for its part, gets to stay pretty much the same. See the big version here.
