Abolish The Pacific: a four-region plan that might be crazy enough to work

The problem of regions phasing out into functional inactivity isn't really tied to their number (well unless you have only two, I guess). Over the past decade regional government has sometimes lurched towards inactive joke status even in regions with large populations.

The redistricting process was very ugly, which was why it was possible to do away with it. I think you would need to look into having people other than the Governors do it; perhaps a panel could be drawn up by one of the Justices.

Of course if you have district seats, there is no real case for regional seats as well...
