hhill() implements the Huntington-Hill method of legislative
seat allocation which is currently used by the
United States House of Representatives.
The Huntington-Hill method is calculated as follows:
each entity represented in the chamber
is assigned a score, calculated as the population of that
entity divided by the square root
of n(n+1), where n is the current number of seats
allocated to that entity. All entities are assigned
the minimum number of seats, and then scores are calculated.
The entity with the highest score receives a seat,
its n value increments by 1, and then scores are recalculated.
The new entity with the highest score receives a seat,
increments its n, and the process repeats until all available
seats have been allocated.
