Since the device count is not the limited resource but the route count
is how about a completely different size measure.

As a first attempt:
1. Define a list of interconnect points (NAPS/interconnect exchanges)
   This would be fairly strict with only the main interconnect points in
   each country qualifying.

2. Any entity wanting an allocation must interconnect IPV6 at more than
N
   of these points (and be an LIR of course) to qualify for an
allocation.

I don't know how the number of allocations would vary with N but a guess
is that N=2 would be a reasonable number.
