Outside of the box indeed.
I mean, there are dopey ideas galore, starting with the wedged sectors, and then married women over 20 cannot vote, Sweden took a sizeable chunk of Finland, and Norway got the Kola Peninsula, Finland took East Karelia and then some, Estonia and Latvia are part of Greater Russia, the Hebrew Nation encompasses the area all the way north of Beirut, that massive neutral zone in Sinai, Greece takes south Italy and Sicily, Sardinia belongs to Spain, Serbia and Albania are joined, and so on.
The colonial map (#2104.02) is also something.
It's too bad one cannot simulate this to know if the ideas would actually had had an effect in the upcoming WW II and so on.
- billyjobob 6y agoWhen this was written a married woman was required to obey her husband in all matters. This meant that she would vote for whomever he told her to vote for, effectively giving each man two votes. So it made sense to disallow this.
- jnurmine 6y agoYes, it's a good point. However, it sounds like an unenforceable thing. As secret votes have been around since ancient Greece, one could have said "I voted for X" when the real vote went for Y, and no-one would've been any wiser.
