I think having proper country prefixes (the correct format basically) is important. The issue would be things like Russia, where the prefix is RA and then five numbers, however most large airlines there register VQ- and VP- (such as Aeroflot or UTair) or EI- (what Transaero used to be). This is all of course due to taxes in the Cayman Islands and Ireland. There are probably more examples, Russia is just the one I come into contact most often. I think if someone wants to be really in-depth with the registrations having to register with a set code determined by where they are based would be detrimental. Perhaps for every aircraft you would be able to select what country you want it to be registered in, and then it would automatically add the prefix and then give you a box to enter the rest?
