There are multiple desired properties of a voting system for a general selection. Most systems are designed with an idea that there are legislative matters that have different effect on different geographical locations and thus the system not only wants to empower representation along the e-political dimensions but also representation along meaningful geographic areas.
That principle seems to be important enough for people to have decided for example for elections to the European parliament that Malta gets one seat per ~100,000 citizens while Germany gets one seat per ~865.000 citizens.
I _really_ want to believe that posting this comment multiple times was an intentional demonstration of how opinions can be unevenly weighted. If so, brilliant!

It wasn’t intentional, but that’s a nice reading ;) I now deleted the doublicates to make discussion easier.
