Now, I posted this poll in my capasity as Domestic Depudy, but I would like to makje comment as a common interested citizen. (So this is not an official departmental position, just what I think.)

The First Proposal is mine, ans I urge you to support it on the grounds that it follows the lie of the land consistantly. I believe that provincial borders should be functional, but follow the geography of our planet asthetically as well. In the first proposal (ie mine) the border is consistantly to the west of the mountain range. This is its most logical position.

The second proposal runs the extreme upper and lower parts of the border through the middle of the mountains and runs the central part on the easern side of the mountains.

The third proposal runs along the east of the mountains in the north, then ignores them to head straight south.

Clearly the only consistant proposal is the first.

I would agree that Option One best follows the lay of the land, so it has my vote.

I would vote for Option 2. The part through the middle southern mountains is what bought he, especially since it follows a river.

As Mayor of Gorina, i will vote for Option #1 also. Although it does cut off two of Gorina's tiles and place them in this new Western Province, this is less than Option #2 does. I believe Option #1 is better than Option #3 because the former comes close to matching the 126 tile allotment we used for Provinces in the first Demogame and those maps worked pretty well. (Option #1 has 129 tiles.)
