Divide everything down to counties. You'd have a shit ton of city states and some pretty large, and very empty, countries.

Every 2437 trees is a new country. If you are in a desert, cacti can be used in lieu of trees. Every time a tree is chopped down, you must plant a new one within 24 hours, unless it is on a Friday, in which case the moratorium of your country is extended until lunchtime on Monday. If you exceed your original 2437 trees, whether by artificial or natural means, the southwesternmost tree demarking your territory is now in contention, and is international land until 2436 more trees grow around it. If a tree in contention is cut down, that's a dick move.

As an alternative to the current system, I suggest dividing up the land according to a combination of ancient tradition, language, culture and ethnicity. We could let each part have self determination and call them... Countries?

What variables are in play and how are they evaluated and weighted? How would you define "stock"?

No family history of physical or mental conditions, at the top tiers with the very top tier being of the best physical and intellectual grading.
The inital grading would have to be some kind of global examination to split people up.
The racial mix wouldnt matter, only where you came on the grading.
