I'm considering a 400 district New Hampshire map, but it might kill my computer
The New Hampshire House of Representatives has 204 Districts for 400 members, I'm not sure you can go any smaller than that

View attachment 446225
The problems I faced were
1. DRA not loading the analysis
2. The districts being unequal in population
If you people are going to keep doing this, why not draw successor maps for the state house and senate? The senate has 38 seats, the House 75.

The 30k Series
I'm going to go state-by-state in DRA2020 and redraw congressional districts based on the Constitutional stricture of one representative for thirty thousand people (or so). It'll probably never be finished. First up: *draws name from hat* Vermont, and its twenty districts!

VT • WY • CA
California has multi-member districts. Is that cheating? Probably. Do I care? Given that the alternative is drawing one thousand two hundred eighty-eight congressional districts and then trying to figure out how to show them pictorially? No. Will I do the same thing for other extremely populous states? Outlook positive.
This is unworkable as all get out and I intend to see it to completion anyway.

Vice Pres. John "Jimmy" F. Cobb (R-OH)/Sec. Joseph Seed (R-UT) - 304 EVs, 41.2%
Gov. Thomas Justice III (NA-AR)/Sen. Mark Reeding (NA-KS) - 177 EVs, 31.9%
Pres. James Golden (D-CA)/Rep. Jerry J. Wilson (D-WI) - 56 EVs, 19.5%
"At least President Golden can finally go back to his career in acting. I miss when was on the big screen." - President-Elect John "Jimmy" F. Cobb in his victory speech
James Golden's Presidency was controversial. He signed an executive order that ended segregation, which angered the South. He was weak on foreign policy. He was criticized by both Democrats and Republicans after refusing to take action when a Communist regime was installed in Mexico. And while the economy wasn't bad, but it wasn't doing too good either. To make matters worse, he chose a former Socialist Party leader as his running mate. The choice was clear for Republicans, who had an incumbent Vice President. Cobb chose Secretary of State and former Utah Senator Joseph Seed as his running mate, uniting the Conservative and Moderate wings of the Republican Party. Governor Clarence Thomas declined to be nominated by his party, so Arkansas Governor Thomas Justice III was chosen. Justice, a Populist, picked up Conservative voters now alienated by the Democratic Party, although his uncharismatic running mate likely led to his loss. When Cobb was sworn in on January 20, his first act was declaring war on the People's Republic of Mexico.

The State and County of Maine
Capital: Portland
Ruling house: LaMieux
Current monarch: Countess Marie IV (since 1988). She has leaned to the left and made no pretensions to neutrality, causing clashes and conflict with the political right; she is a controversial figure who is hated by 30% of the population, but is loved by another 40%. But she has almost always had approvals that are above water, and has a reputation for living modestly. In the late 2000s recession, she opposed efforts on part of the right-wing Premier to cut unemployment insurance; and when that was unsuccessful, she partially funded an extension out of her own pocket. She survived an assassination attempt in 2017, though she was unable to appear in public for a full week due to the injuries.
Her family was involved in lumber business, before being created Counts of Maine in 1832, as part of Hamilton's administrative reforms. They have ruled Maine ever since, together with a legislature elected by the common people. A cozy relationship has long held between the House of LeMieux and organized labor, which both are challenged by right-wing libertarianism (a powerful force in Maine). The right has long tried to remove them from power, with Marie's father Andrew being removed twice, only to gain back power in popular referenda. (In Columbia, when monarchs are removed from power by the legislature, the decision automatically is sent to referendum, with snap legislative elections also being held)
Current Premier: Kristen Cloutier, Labor (since 2012).
Maine's legislature is currently elected by STV, with 150 members in its unicameral legislature, which is called the House of Commons, elected for a term that can run for as long as five years. This system was created by the left in 1988 in hopes of shutting the right out, by eliminating the possibility of vote splitting between Center and Labor, in face of the unified right. Counties are treated as districts with a variable number of members elected, with 100 seats apportioned based off population, and 50 seats apportioned based off land area. Since libertarianism is more of a "Southern Maine" kind of thing (class divisions and also being seen as rather anti-rural), Northern Maine elects Center+Labor, and by-and-large, the right is usually locked out of power. Marie IV has never had to face the mere threat of losing her throne (or having her powers threatened) due to having a favorable legislature most of the time.
The few times the right does have control of the legislature, they can never command the two-thirds of seats needed to pass a motion restricting the powers of the Crown. The closest they have ever gotten was after the 2008 elections, when the Freedom Party and its allies took 60% of the seats admist scandals that afflicted the long-ruling left-leaning government.
The 2017 election was overshadowed by the failed assassination attempt on Countess Marie, which occurred two weeks before polling day. The events caused the Freedom Party to lose seats, on route to another bad result. Paul LePage, the Freedom Party leader, sparked controversy by seemingly claiming in a media interview that "Marie had it coming", before reversing course hours later. The Freedom Party never recovered in polling from this and other gaffes coming out of the mouth of their leader and his political allies. After the election, he resigned as party leader.
Ideologies of the parties
Labor: Solidarity and Justice affiliate on state level
Center: De facto Center party affiliate on state level, but it's not formally linked
Freedom: right-wing libertarian party that does best in York County; was lead by Paul LePage from 2005 to 2017
Progressive: De facto Progressive Democrat affiliate on state level, but not formally linked; it would later split up, with the Left faction forming the Progressive Labor party (a Labor satellite party), and the Right faction keeping the party name but presiding over a somewhat hollowed out party that would later merge with the Freedom Party due to similarities in ideology
Liberal: fairly centrist-to-center-left outfit along the lines of the Australian Democrats in OTL

Would Wyoming have any Democratic districts?
Likewise, would Vermont have any Republican districts?
the latter is not as likely as the former. the D vote in WY is more concentrated than the R vote in VT.
