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?
