Profile
The Cayo South constituency was created for the 1961 general election as part of a major nationwide redistricting. The largely rural constituency consists of approximately two-thirds of the Cayo District, stretching north and east from the Guatemalan border in the west up to the border with the Orange Walk District in the north. Cayo South is geographically the largest constituency in the country.[1]
Prior to 2008 Cayo South included the Belizean capital city, Belmopan, after which the city was represented by its own constituency.

gollark: This works okayish with a bit of instability on low TPS or something.
gollark: Basically, it just sends 2 bytes every two ticks with no clock signal or anything.
gollark: Right. Fair point. I'm sure there's some networking stuff around for networking over a channel where you can't run two things at once.
gollark: I also had the weird idea of networking between adjacent devices by setting labels really fast, but that probably could get by with just some sensible error checking.
gollark: Also, I have this thing for networking (at amazing 20Bps speed) over bundled cables. Perhaps that would be a sensible place to apply Ethernet stuff? It's currently only safe to use between two devices at once (lest others interfere horribly) and has no error correcting stuff.
