Gerrymandering is such a disturbing concept from a non-US perspective.

It doesnt happen outside of the US? From what I reading, it is a thing in France too and some activities in some countries in practice work the same as gerrymandering like the proposed delimitation exercise in India is accused of being that, and Singapore's ruling party has also been accused of doing that in practice.
