• Atlantis - 3 Seats
• Invicta - 1 Seat
• The Alliance of Gloria - 1 Seat
• Algora - 1 Seat

5. If a Region joins the Commonwealth, the Commonwealth Secretary will decide how many seats will be allocated to them until the next seat allocation proposal is approved.



6. In deciding how many seats to allocate to each region, the Commonwealth Secretary will take into account regional population, number of WA Nations and Activity. The Secretary may also propose that a tiny, inactive region is allocated 0 seats. Regions that are allocated 0 seats will be grouped together into one or more Senate Seats, the number to be proposed by the Commonwealth Secretary, and shall elect their seats between them with each region having a number of votes in the election equal to the Number of WA Nations in the region + 1. Such seats will be elected on a bi-monthly basis.
