gollark: You don't actually need simple shapes very badly as long as you have an algorithm which is not likely to be biased.
gollark: Okay, rearrange the states so they're square.
gollark: A simple if slightly inaccurate way would be some kind of binary space partitioning thing, where (pretending the US is a perfect square) you just repeatedly divide it in half (alternatingly vertically/horizontally), but stop dividing a particular subregion when population goes below some target number.
gollark: The more complex the algorithm the more people might try and manipulate it. The obvious* solution is to just split up the country by latitude/longitude grid squares.
gollark: The Netherlands will just conquer all of the areas "lost" to rising sea levels.
