I don't think it would be more complicated. Of anything, it would be simpler. With our current setup, yes the chair of the department would be from a rural county, but at the same time the department's actions would be subject to urban legislators. Their time is better spent with stuff like zoning and public transit development. In my system, the urban and rural legislators would focus more on their own constituencies and problems and less on the other's, thus increasing the average knowledge of the problem being tackled.
