In the Netherlands every vote is counted equally. I don't know of any problems or complaints from our rural areas, but I don't live in them.
Also every party represents their constituents proportionally. In the last election 10,563,456 votes were cast, so every 704,230 votes (1/150th) gets you a seat. There are basically no thresholds, so it happens regularly that parties with less than 2% of the votes get seats.
