This probably isn’t the progressive answer you’d expect, but perhaps under a centuries old definition of progressive: weighted technocracy. People vote only in the field of their own expertise, and leave all other issues to those who have expertise. It is a sort of direct democracy with votes weighted by credentials.

Galicia but biggerer.

It’s only a country in the vaguist sense. It’s a historical artifact. Charlemagne’s last gasp. It’s beyond funny that they have a vote in the UN, despite being effectively a tax haven and ski resort.

It’s such a bizarre thing that Macron is a prince there.

That’s a mean thing to say about Iberia
