The land is over-represented in every other respect: state legislatures, congressional seats, senate seats for low pop states.

That land has a megaphone in our government.

It can't. But most of that land is also now owned by corporations. A lot of it isn't even populated, which is why I think there has to be a better way to illustrate demographics.

Maybe dots in those areas that would represent population. So relatively empty spaces would have a small dots far apart and cities would have lots of dots jammed together.
