Australia uses a highly proportional electoral process for its lower house.
The constitution requires that electorates be apportioned among the states in proportion to their respective populations; provided that each original state has at least 5 members in the House of Representatives.
Districts are decided and managed by a politically independent federal commission (ie: not by politicians).
The Australian senate is still a state house modelled in the US fashion. And is therefore not proportional to the population.
