Pretty sure the original point here is that Atlesian problems need not be plausible in the real world. In other words, the situation that ended with Ironwood having two seats can be something they just accepted, though I suspect it was more complicated and was more like they had to accept it. Of course, there are all kinds of political systems through history where some form of unreasonable consolidation of power is accepted. Based on WoR, the political systems in Remnant only transitioned out of monarchy a few decades ago.
