If you're looking to boost the number of cantons, would you consider spliting two existing ones into Halbkantons = demi-cantons? Switzerland theoretically has 23 full cantons (three of which are divided into two) but the distinction between a full and demi-canton is minimal. I think Miervatia Stadt and Miervatia Land would be a good fit, isolating the "cosmopolitan" capital city from its "parochial" hinterland.
