I think I went with that name because it was the most populous district in the seat; common thing as far as constituency names in this project were, in general. But it's an aberration compared to other South African seats.
Limpopo-Pretoria?

Limpopo-Pretoria?
okay.
Sidenote: something that was rather surprising was the sheer population density variation between the western half of SA and the eastern half. Even with Capetown, the Kaap seat has 40-45% of its land area and just one-fifth of the population.
Eastern half of SA is much more fertile and gets far more rain than the western half.
The Northern Cape has something like 30% of SA's land area, and about 2% of its population.
Yes, but especially in Africa. (at least, less arid=more people. Look at the Sahara, for example)
Well if the next step is starting to color the map, it makes a big difference whether corrupt or authoritarian governments are able to control the election process, and if so, to what extent.
In a system comprising of our whole world, I'd say some constituencies would be far more corrupt then others. Since the population distribution and I would suppose, some of the general situations of the world would be reflected in this parliamentary scenario, I'd say that areas that are poor, wartorn or authoritarian right now OTL would not be much better off under this World Parliament system. There's also the question of how many, if any, major wars are happening or if there is large-scale refugee migration like OTL. If so, then this Parliament may very well involve messy business...
then feel free to shape that element of the scenario however you wish!
I like your idea of using political internationals as the basis for a party systems, but in some cases, not so much in North America, but elsewhere, parties are members of more than one.
There is also the problem of some parties not being members of any international organization at all. We will have to find a way to deal with it.
I wonder if all the electorates would be as democratic as one another or if they would go by different rulesets, like some might be STV Voting, others FPTP, some might be more dictatorial like South Carolina pre-Civil War, where there is no popular vote and a state legislature decides which party to vote for, whilst others have a much freer system. I could imagine the Chinese provinces, and possibly other places like North Korea having no direct popular vote if they are anything like OTL. This could be controversial in the World Parliamentary system, creating a lot of Communist-phobia and fear of rising China among the other power blocs.
Okay, so here's the blank of the North America districts. Every constituency has a unique colour so we can go through and easily change the colours as necessary for elections.
Where'd you get the map?

I made it myself, which is why it took me so long to make.
Anyway, here are some election results:
New England:
Robert DeLeo, Progressive Alliance: 3,669,598 (59.56%)
Bradley Jones Jr, International Democrat Union: 2,334,751 (37.89%)
Caleb Q Dyer, International Alliance of Libertarian Parties: 117,847 (1.91%)
Jill Stein, Global Greens: 39,282 (0.63%)
Independent/Other: 616 (0.01%)
