I think CBs won’t work as described at least because they need to be allocated to children/new citizens somehow? Given that territory of adopting country is non-increasing while its population increases over time, the state would need to buy out part of CB and grant those pieces, and that would presumably create CB borders drift.
Overall, I downvoted this post because I felt it only describes “that’s the idea of expevolu, and its benefits”, not realistically exploring what would happen upon adoption, and what drawbacks are inherited from previously suggested ideas.
Regarding your remarks on CBs, you spotted something important that is missing in this text: how CBs would be inherited. (Not necessarily, the population would increase, as you suggested, it may stay stable or decrease.) I have an inheritance scheme designed. In case of a growing family, the children would be granted the right to hold a (proportionally) smaller area in CBs and still have citizenship. It is not a particularly inspired solution, but it seems doable.
Regarding presenting the system in a positive light, I may be guilty of that, I don’t know. It would be interesting to know what other readers think. However, lack of exploration is to be expected, given that the topic is vast. A large number of important benefits of the system were not presented in the text as well, I was not particularly excluding problems.

Hey, ProgramCrafter.
