Are you guys really still working on this? lol
Not having a Western-based region is silly. The Midwest/Mideast is obviously the least natural split.
Idk nobody has talked about this in ages but I like the idea.
I agree not having a western region is silly but having a western region featuring Generalissimo Simfan as the entirety of the regional government is arguably even sillier, and those appear to be our only two options right now
Governments and activity levels are always changing. The Midwest has gone through long periods of severe inactivity and one-man governments, too. Yet you propose a permanent solution to a problem that is always ebbing and flowing.
Your proposed Northwest region will have such a tiny population it would be guaranteed to be the least active region.
I understand that I don't follow Atlasia as closely as I used to. While I could see certain anti-Pacific biases are playing a role here, what I see first and foremost is an attempt to gerrymander the South into a left-wing region. Will Atlasia's conservatives really allow that? I doubt it.
