A polygonal prism is made from a flexible material such that the two bases are regular $2^n$-gons $(n>1)$ of the same size. The prism is bent to join the two bases together without twisting, giving a figure with $2^n$ faces. The prism is then repeatedly twisted so that each edge of one base becomes aligned with each edge of the base exactly once. For an arbitrary $n$, what is the sum of the number of faces over all of these configurations (including the non-twisted case)?
