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.

    While benefiting from the wealthier urban areas' tax money and complaining that the opposite of these things is happening.
