Proposal 133147
Adds 3 additional nodes to this subnet (in Switzerland, China and Portugal). After this proposal executes the subnet will be meeting the new IC Target Topology (where it was proposed to grow this subnet from 28 nodes to 34 nodes). Looks good. I’ve adopted 
Decentralisation Stats
Subnet node distance stats (distance between any 2 nodes in the subnet) →
| Smallest Distance | Average Distance | Largest Distance | |
|---|---|---|---|
| EXISTING | 0 km | 8162.808 km | 18505.029 km |
| PROPOSED | 0 km | 7972.045 km (-2.3%) | 18505.029 km |
This proposal slightly reduces decentralisation, considered purely in terms of geographic distance (and therefore there’s a slight theoretical reduction in localised disaster resilience). 
Subnet characteristic counts →
| Continents | Countries | Data Centers | Owners | Node Providers | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EXISTING | 5 | 22 | 31 | 31 | 31 |
| PROPOSED | 5 | 23 (+4.3%) | 34 (+8.8%) | 34 (+8.8%) | 34 (+8.8%) |
This proposal improves decentralisation in terms of characteristic diversity.
Largest number of nodes with the same characteristic (e.g. continent, country, data center, etc.) →
| Continent | Country | Data Center | Owner | Node Provider | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EXISTING | 11 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| PROPOSED | 13 (+18.18%) | 3 | 1 | 1 | 1 |

The above subnet information is illustrated below, followed by a node reference table:
Map Description
- Red marker represents a removed node (transparent center for overlap visibility)
- Green marker represents an added node
- Blue marker represents an unchanged node
- Highlighted patches represent the country the above nodes sit within (red if the country is removed, green if added, otherwise grey)
- Light grey markers with yellow borders are examples of unassigned nodes that would be viable candidates for joining the subnet according to formal decentralisation coefficients (so this proposal can be viewed in the context of alternative solutions that are not being used)

Known Neurons to follow if you're too busy to keep on top of things like this
If you found this analysis helpful and would like to follow the vote of the LORIMER known neuron in the future, consider configuring LORIMER as a followee for the Subnet Management topic.
Other good neurons to follow:
-
Synapse (follows the LORIMER and CodeGov known neurons for Subnet Management, and is a generally well informed known neuron to follow on numerous other topics)
-
CodeGov (actively reviews and votes on Subnet Management proposals, and is well informed on numerous other technical topics)
-
