to even further extremes. The reason I use the Civil Analogy is because even within the Deep South, certain citizens did not go along with Seccession. The South itself is divided and one ethnic group is trying to oppress the rights of other ethnic groups. The urban areas are the most populous areas and have most of the revenues. If you look at what happened during the American Civil War, West Virginia seperated from the state of Virginia and joined the Union. That is how West Virginia came into existance. I also think the Governor of Missouri had to move his government because Missouri was divided.
So regardless of these gerrymandered districts, a large portion of the populations within those states may not go along with the wishes of rural representatives especially if some are in the minority. You could possibly have rebellion within states. This is why it wouldn't work in the end. So why stop at the state level when cities have their own jurisdictions?
