As a minimum requirement for Senäts Elections I would recommend that we stick to 7 citizens per Province, but add a requirement that looks at the population statistics of the entire Republic, e.g., equal or greater than 30 (or even more). There should also be a suspension clause for times of a decreasing population, but I can't think of one now.
