North America tends to suffer this problem the most. Large, populated cities tend to be under-represented in provencial/state government. And then the rural, aerogel density parts dictate terms to the urban, tungsten density parts. Takes a lot less effort to convince some rural voters (who trend xenophobic and bigoted) to vote for you to capture power, than it is to deal with a plurality in a dense urban environment. Seems like more large cities should tell their next level government up to fuck off.
