+====== European Seats Assignments ======
+Under the Lisbon Treaty, seats are allocated to each state according to population and the maximum number of members is set at 751.
+The seats are distributed according to "degressive proportionality", meaning that the larger the state, the more citizens that are represented per MEP.
+In other words: **the square root of citizens**.
 ^ STATE ^ Population ^ SQRT(population) ^ Lisbon seats ^ lisbon weight ^ sqrt pop wheight ^
