Just kind of poking at the 6th world Wiki and got reminded of madness ... the CAS house of representitives produces one representative for every 15,000 population.
And the CAS has over 100 million citizens. There's over *7000* representitives in the CAS house of reps. 39 senators, but 7057 people in the House. .8 ... Gotta watch that .8 guy. He's up to something. |

You didn't hear it from me, but personally, I don't think that guy's all there, y'know?

If it was a typo and they meant 150,000 per representative for that 100 million population, we get a sign that the CAS is doomed... Doomed I say!

I've said it before and I'll say it again:
awakened aristocracy of plantation owners who use Task spirits to work the cotton fields :D |

running the CAS like the 18th century bayou is pretty much what I do too. at least for the deep south.

From the South, so, the CAS is always a sticking point for me.
But that representative body is just *silly* huge. Point of order, Mr Chairman! Point of order!" "The chair would like to recognize Congressman #147 from the great state of North Florida..." |

I spent the first 22 years of my life "along the bayou", and trust me when I say that you have no earthly clue what it is like now, or what it was like in the 18th century. |

i tend to run the CAS as being pretty okay. somewhat conservative, but not rabidly so--they wouldn't do something completely crazy, like elect a dragon for president, but they're no more racist or anti-magic than the UCAS. basically, not insane.
