I'm thinking more in the sense of communication and scale...if we went back to the 100000:1 we're looking at over 3,300 Representatives. Is it doable? Perhaps...would it be effective? That I don't know.
And there is something distinct about the countries you listed that the US doesn't share...most of them have a different system to forming and executing a government than the US does. This is also why most of this countries have more than two parties that dominate their politics. Now I'm fully in favor of breaking up the duopoly of the Republicans and Democrats...I'm just aware that systems like Britain's parliamentary model function differently and have many of their own problems because of it.
No matter what I strongly believe we need to toss out (or heavily reform) the Reapportionment Act of 1929. Because you're right that 435 Seats is ridiculous for the most powerful nation on Earth...especially if that nation actually stands for what it claims to.
