My preferred solution at this point is for the UN to take over
management of the entire Internet and for them to issue a policy of one
prefix per country. This will have all sorts of nasty downsides for
national providers and folks that care about optimal routing, but it's
the only way that I can see that will allow the Internet to continue to
operate over the long term.

What happens to non-member states? What happens to Taiwan, who has not
been a part of the UN for decades? Does the island nation of Togo get a
prefix, but not Taiwan. Also, what about North Korea? Only South Korea
is a member state in the UN.
Next thing you know, they'll be trading prefixes for kick-backs . . .
