That's sort of what I was hoping to see with this. I want dots scattered
all over the map.

That could work, but I do want to avoid it getting TOO complicated. I don't
know if color coding is really necessary, as most lugs are pretty well
segregated by geography already. Maybe a dot key, similar to the way that
David Till handled it. Say, trans green is 1 person, tan is 5, grey is 10,
black is 20, etc. Plant a lug tile in the center, geographically, on each
region, and scatter the people dots in their geographic locations, changing
color as necessary.

If packed suitably enough, I should be able to ship it via UPS or something
without my presence. It packs tightly, but is very dense. I really have no
idea what the cost will be. The other option would be building a custom
case for it and taking it on the airplane with me, but many airlines are
enacting weight restrictions, and in a case I know this thing will push 100
pounds.
I'm up for help in paying for the shipping cost if I can figure out a good
way to handle packaging.

It would be, well, annoying if the individual plates come rattling apart.
That would be my only worry about shipment. Ideally, I'd like it driven in
the hands of someone capable, but it's a 2400 mile drive from Ohio to CA,
and I doubt anyone from this coast is driving. If so, I'd be more than
willing to hand it off to a courier. Heck, then I could send another
sculpture or two along with them, since I'm on the sculpture panel this year.
