I read the 4th book... I think only a few years after it came out? And the original trilogy years before that. Haven't read the newer ones at all.

"Simple grid" is a bit too simple. Need to consider population. Rural > suburban > urban.
But yes, simple shapes. Use roads or logical borders.

See how 🇦🇺 does it. Step 1 - politically neutral Electoral Commission sets boundaries & runs elections.

Maps below: state, urban surrounds, urban.
