Unfortunately, the page that I used to make that is having a random 502 error at the moment. We'll try later.
Would be interesting to see a probable electoral college map for that setup. I feel like we'd have a lot more swing states, because every single state would be guaranteed to have a major metro area as well as, in most cases, a large hinterland. Would Minneapolis still be a Democratic stronghold now that it's swallowed up most of the Dakotas? Would the various states of Texas still be under GOP lockdown?
[EDIT: I also wonder if you could do congressional districts this way- although it would be a stretch for mega-cities like New York that have more than one district within their borders.]
[EDIT: Works...I tried making a map for Canada's ten biggest metro areas. Three provinces are headquartered in south-eastern Ontario, of course.]
