How would you split England? ,and what responsibility would you devole?
Like I say, I'd need to know more about what the other models operate like before even coming up with an answer to the latter.
The former is an interesting one. I used the current regions of England as an example, but I probably wouldn't use them exactly. I think there'd need to be some form of identity and culture behind each state, but accept that would be fairly difficult to achieve!
I'll give it a stab though!...
So the Federal States of the UK:
Scotland
Wales
Northern Ireland
London State (current London region)
Cumbria & Northumbria (North East region plus Cumbria)
Yorkshire (current Yorkshire & Humber region minus the North Lincolnshire counties)
Lancashire (North West region minus Cumbria)
West Midlands (current region)
East Midlands (current region plus North Lincolnshire counties)
Anglia (East of England region)
South East England (current region)
West Country (South West minus Cornwall)
Cornwall (current county)
There's probably something better than the names I've suggested, but I've tried to stick closely with the current regions with a few cultural shifts I'm aware of such as Cornwall, who have an independence movement, and Cumbria being aligned with the lesser-populated North East than Lancashire (who would have a far better local connection to the name than "North West").
