Basically, the number of apportioned seats will stay the same.  The idea here is to gerrymander two House maps which each max out the number of Republican/Democratic districts.  Per tradition, the default factor in determining who gets each seat will be based on the 2008 election results, unless there's justification for why a seat is not safe for one party even if a candidate won it overwhelmingly (i.e. UT-4).

Remember that 2008 was a pretty Democratic year, so the baseline for pure tossup should probably be 53% Obama rather than 50-50.

I'll probably throw in some maps. 
Varies a lot by area though- that'd be quite safe in SE NC, for example.

Are kiddy-corner connectors actually legal? Is there an example of them in real life?
Yes. NC has used them.

Why do your NC and VA GOP maps have more Democratic districts than their rl equivalents?
