So El Lexhatx E.7, and in particular 7.4-7.11, needs to be reformed to fix the discrepancy of Mexico. Considering that KR1 himself wrote the basis of the current provincial assignments, and once wrote a manifesto entitled BLOW UP MEXICO SOON!, perhaps it's a psychologically symptomatic omission.

Are there any other amendments to provincial assignment law we'd like to make while we're at it?

We should remove the reference to "insular Central America" as I have no idea what that means. We also should verify that every nation is represented so there is no more fogginess about where to place new citizens. That sounds like a monumental task and I am *not* volunteering!

When I looked closer, I found that there are a lot of countries not mentioned by name. Many of them are captured by broader regions, some of which ("any European nation not listed elsewhere") are more helpful than others (insular central America for one, and "all nations in Africa south of the Equator not listed elsewhere")

I just remembered that @Lüc made some maps of the catchments areas back in 2016 when he was working on the Catchment Area Reform Act. Maybe these would help:

From the map it appears that "insular Central America" means the Caribbean Islands

If I had my druthers I'd amend things to put more countries in the Vuode column, they're becoming a ghost town

I tried doing that in 2016 and caused a schism in my own province 😔

Already got it parsed out, I can write up a bill to fix these issues.

On that note, do we want to alter catchment areas as they currently stand? Perhaps throw a few countries in the direction of Vuode or Florencia, as it stands they don't have any territory assigned to them outside of the US and Canada.

I am far from an expert but I do have an interest in world geography and would be happy to help make sure all countries are represented and assigned to a province if needed.

We should probably consider this a bit more

I believe the thing about Mexico and the caribbean islands is that they're North America, which makes its hard to establish where they belong.

I'm overworked at the moment, but if we get together a revised text we could get it on the First Clark
