We ' re only protecting vasy . Bithop is a free agent , can ' t protect him if we don ' t have his rights . <| sep |> Cool , I ' m in . <| sep |> Try again in Incognito mode . <| sep |> After looking for much of the day yesterday , I finally caught one . It was disguised as a 202 CP Pidgey , in a residential neighborhood , by itself , with no pokestops anywhere nearby . Time was about 1730 hrs Pacific . I hit it with a curved normal pokeball , and caught it on the first try . I ' m level 29 . It transformed into a 257 CP Ditto , with 73 % IV . <| sep |> Nobody but I don ' t see why that matters in this case . The system is the same except for the executive office . You have proportional representation for the different areas of the country and the president is elected by popular vote by all the people . This works for tiny democratic countries all the way up to larger democratic countries like Germany and France . Don ' t see any evidence that it doesn ' t scale . We ' re roughly on par with the EU in scalediversity , and their states are much more independent than ours . The EU is not a country , its a union of countries .
