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.

... and once the Internet's effectiveness and usefulness is dropped to
a level comparable to that of the IAEA, nobody will care anymore.
Presto, problem solved!
