Why?
If the chapter must have a legal basis and legal ability it must be founded on "jurisdictional" basis.
The rule is based on jurisdiction and not in the countries border.

Delphine was quite clearly not saying this was a hard-and-fast rule. Obviously these things should be taken case-by-case.
There's no need to pick holes in everything anyone says. It's very impolite.

Geni pointed out some problems in the one-chapter-per-juristiction approach. I pointed out that Delphine had not suggested such a thing as a hard and fast rule.
Obviously chapters must have reference to juristictions for legal reasons.
There are many ways of seeing jurisdictions. I thought Russia was formally a federal republic btw? But otherwise you could also take provinces if you'd like. or states. I think as long as it is one law, and it is clear where the chapter stops being a chapter.

Greetings,
I see it more like, if a group of people feel socially, culturally, politically or for some other reason, different from other people in their "country" they could create a chapter.
For example: Hong Kong and Taiwan from the PRC (maybe Macau too). Puerto Rico from the USA French Guiana from France And maybe (not wanting to start a war here :P) Quebec from Canada.
Just examples of my perception.
