Maybe a fair allocation of sattelites would be proportional to the number of citizens with voting rights in the country. Maybe with some modifier about how impactful that voting can actually be (eg. citizen initiatives vs. just electing representatives from a preselected pool).

> a fair allocation

Who is doing this allocation? Who is going to tell Pyongyang, Beijing or Moscow they can’t launch anymore?

If we weren't busy stupidly destroying the institutions for international cooperation, it would be a UN body.

No UN body can command a nuclear sovereign. They ultimately continually consent to oversight.

		> No UN body can command a nuclear sovereign. Why not, though? If any country violates their limit, just issue a concern. If they ignore it, upgrade it to a grave concern. Then they will surely have to obey, I mean, it's grave concern we're talking about, what else they could do?

As a California resident I really don't like the idea of a legal framework that encourages more citizen initiatives. They would be used to try to prevent building more housing.
