But if A doesn't exist, then the region doesn't exist at all. That's the problem. Can a region exist without a legislature per the constitution? I think the people of the Pacific have a right and an obligation to have representation of some sort. Depriving the people of the Pacific of their rightful representation is wrong. This needs to be corrected.
There are multiple options to fix this. One - is to re-establish the legislature. Another is for the region to join the IDS whereupon the people of the Pacific would join with the IDS and regain their rightful representation through the IDS legislature.
As for who would administer it, not my call. I'm just a plain ol' prole, NCYankee. That's your job to hash out, not mine. I am sure that the IDS would be more than willing to administer such a plebescite in a free and fair manner.
Anyways, I've said my piece. I support annexation because the Pacific needs to have some representation, and I believe the South as an active region can provide said representation.
