This proposal follows the proposal for a devolved Government in the United
Kingdom, although the separate regions in England haven't been devolved yet
they have been set up as Regional Development Agencies, a lot of research has
been done by the Government to split up England properly. As LUGNET is a
fan-created site I'm sure Todd will seriously consider this proposal. It
brings the UK inline with other places such as California which has a similar
size and population but only has 13 groups.
If all of us in lugnet.loc.uk agree with this proposal then it stands a good
chance of being accepted. I know many of you want all of the smaller groups
scrapped, Todd doesn't want this so this is a good compromise and will cover
all future expansion - there will never be that many of us.

English regions, a discussion on the future of lugnet.loc.uk.en needs to be
considered as these regions would be on the same Goverment hiearchy as
Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and so there would be useless duplication.
The idea of an English Parliament has been ruled out.
lugnet.loc.uk.ne North East
lugnet.loc.uk.nw North West
lugnet.loc.uk.yk Yorkshire and the Humber
lugnet.loc.uk.se South East
lugnet.loc.uk.ea Eastern
lugnet.loc.uk.lo London
lugnet.loc.uk.em East Midlands
lugnet.loc.uk.wm West Midlands
lugnet.loc.uk.sw South West
These regions are defined as follows:
North East: The counties of Northumberland and Durham and the unitary
authorities of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, North Tyneside, South Tyneside, Gateshead,
Sunderland, Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees, Darlington, Middlesbrough, and Redcar
& Cleveland.
North West: The counties of Cumbria, Lancashire and Cheshire and the unitary
authorities of Sefton, Wirral, Liverpool, Knowsley, St Helens, Wigan, Bolton,
Bury, Rochdale, Oldham, Salford, Manchester, Tameside, Trafford, and Stockport.
Yorkshire and the Humber: The counties of North Yorkshire and the East Riding
of Yorkshire and the unitary authorities of York, Bradford, Leeds, Calderdale,
Kirklees, Wakefield, Barnsley, Doncaster, Sheffield, Rotherham,
Kingston-upon-Hull, North Lincolnshire, and North East Lincolnshire.
West Midlands: The counties of Shropshire, Hereford & Worcester, Warwickshire
and Staffordshire and the unitary authorities of Stoke-on-Trent, Wolverhampton,
Walsall, Sandwell, Dudley, Birmingham, Solihull, and Coventry.
East Midlands: The counties of Northamptonshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire,
Leicestershire, and Lincolnshire, Rutland, and the unitary authorities of Derby
and Leicester.
Eastern: The counties of Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire,
Hertfordshire and Essex and the unitary authority of Luton.
South West: The counties of Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire and
Gloucestershire, the Isles of Scilly, and the unitary authorities of South
Gloucestershire, Bristol, North Somerset and Bath, North East Somerset, Poole
and Bournemouth.
South East: The counties of Kent, East Sussex, West Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire,
Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire and the unitary authorities of
Milton Keynes, Southampton, Portsmouth, Brighton & Hove, and the Isle of Wight.
London: The 32 London boroughs and the City of London.
In order to cover the entire British 'Empire' I propose the possibility of
these groups - some of which were defined as their own country when they are
still considered part of the UK.
Complete list of all islands:
lugnet.loc.uk.ai Anguilla
lugnet.loc.uk.ac Ascension Island
lugnet.loc.uk.bm Bermuda
lugnet.loc.uk.vg British Virgin Islands
lugnet.loc.uk.ky Cayman Islands
lugnet.loc.uk.ci Channel Islands
lugnet.loc.uk.fk Falkland Islands
lugnet.loc.uk.gi Gibraltar
lugnet.loc.uk.im Isle of Man
lugnet.loc.uk.ms Montserrat
lugnet.loc.uk.pn Pitcairn Islands
lugnet.loc.uk.tc Turks and Caicos Islands
In this proposal the total number of groups has been lowered but the local
groups now cover all UK related places.
