Interesting, because it's kind of the reverse of our usual plaint, which is that the cities dominate the rural areas.
An interesting situation.
What we need is an Electoral College-type system for all jurisdictions, regardless of size.
Of course, we have already tipped over the point at which a just and proper distribution of power could be re-established. Goodbye, Republic. Majority rules.

This isn't the first time I've kicked this one around. I even discussed some possibilities for abuse. For instance, size of the "grids" could result in unfarness one way or the other For example, if the "grids" were large enough to include a whole city, that would shoot down the attempts at eliminating the tyranny of the cities. And if the grid sizes weren't equal, it opens up the "gerrymandering" abuse again.
