Since 1969, counties may not lose seats if it falls below the total number of seats that they had in 1969. Thus, seats allocated as a result of either the minimum one seat rule or population growth are known as regular seats, while seats allocated to counties per the 1969 rule are known as compensatory seats. All members of Parliament have the same rights, regardless of what type of seat they have.
Since 1969, Parliament can set differing quotients for different countries below a certain population threshold in order to guarantee that the interests of Surrow outside of Southland County (and [[Holcot Inlet]] in particular) can be represented more effectively.
