My concern is that this would make use of non-GM created data essentially impossible, unless you're willing to add up figures county by county.
I'm going to have to agree with SJoyce here; quite frequently, when drafting legislation, I will use statistics compiled by the RL statesin regards to population, median incomes, the cost of living, etc. Completely re-drawing the map would make it very, very difficult to establish these statistics without tripling the GM's workload. I would also add that this map does not respect existing regional boundaries, and so would require a constitutional amendment.

One thing that I have thought about is possibly expanding the role of the GM. So my idea is that instead taking statistic from real life and applying them to Atlasia, The GM creates the statistics.
That is a huge assignment and far beyond the ability of one person to do on their own without throwing realism to the wind. For such an idea to work, you would need to expand the Game Engine to comprise multiple co-equal Game Moderators and overhaul the way the office works to make it much more formulaic and statistics-oriented than it has been historically. I don't know that there are even enough people in the game capable of pulling it off, let alone interested in making the attempt.
