...Note, however, that this does not map well to the distribution of political power. The states that consist mostly of unpopulated badlands have vastly outsize federal power per capita.

And even that is more complicated than you'd think. It's not just that the residents of sparsely populated areas have outsize power, since sparsely populated areas in populous states have relatively little power.
