Lets see what people think.

I am personally unsure.

Log of what values people are posting as their personal preference (highest on top, lowest on bottom):

500,000 (singletxguyforfun)
350,000 (trajan)

1 total!

I want like 20 responses, and then I will discard the 5 highest and the 5 lowest responses, and calculate the average among the other 10, and then I want to try to draw maps with nonpartisan design based on that value, and I would encourage other posters to do the same.

Way too arbitrary. The wyoming rule theoretically allows the possibility that the number of seats increases while the national population decreases, or that the number of seats decreases while the national population increases, as long as the population trends of the smallest state are more pronounced than the population trends of the country. I wish people would not talk about it as if it were some sort of way to improve the system.
