I came up with a (rather undemocratic) method whose aim is to prevent the dominance of parties with a regional backing. I've made a number of refinements to this idea, but I'll spare you them, and just give the method at its simplest: The nation is divided into regions. The nation is a single district using party list PR. Each voter votes for a single party. There is a weight (arbitrary) "W." "P" is a party's vote share (percentage) in the region in which they did the worst. "V" is the total number of voters in the nation. Add to each party's nation-wide vote total: W*P*V. Refigure the total number of votes and allocate seats by share. An even simpler method would be to set a party's vote total to P*100, but that would be a disincentive to vote for most people. These methods have obvious problems that I won't go into. But they would penalize parties who only have support in certain regions.
