1,000 seems obvious, with each representing 10 million. Executive acts as tiebreaker. More than 1,000 seems absolutely dysfunctional, and 10 million isn't that many people to represent--its essentially a region, small country, or metropolitan area.
For example, in 2050, with one billion people, approximate country breakdowns are as follows:
India: 170 representatives
China: 130 representatives
USA: 40 representatives
Nigeria: 39 representatives
Indonesia: 29 representatives
Pakistan: 27 representatives
Brazil: 22 representatives
Bangladesh: 19 representatives
Philippines: 15 representatives
DR Congo: 15 representatives
Ethiopia: 15 representatives
Mexico: 14 representatives
Tanzania: 14 representatives
Russia: 13 representatives
Egypt: 12 representatives
Japan: 11 representatives
Vietnam: 10 representatives
Kenya: 10 representatives
everybody else: less than 10 representatives

I've literally been trying to divide the world into 1000 districts since this thread. I have the USA and half of China done this far.
