Ken,
Actually, I'd think it's a
brilliant approach. It allows for all sizes and is equally fair to the smaller staes as well as the larger ones. In fact it's a direct mirror of the US Congress and that is hugely smart in that each state gets two senators and proportional representation as well.
Best,
