By political views, I would put the minarchists, economic libertarians, anarcho capitalists and objectivists in antarctica. The conservitives, fascists and nationalists in greenland. The moderate leftists will live in new zealand and everybody else will live everywere else.
Bertrand Russell: "Advocates of capitalism are very apt to appeal to the sacred principles of liberty, which are embodied in one maxim: The fortunate must not be restrained in the exercise of tyranny over the unfortunate"
For: Democratic socialism, gay marriage, direct democracy, drug legalization, economic democracy, libertarian socialism, Christianity, non-interventionism, Gun rights, saving the environment and separation of church and state.

Against: Social conservatism, fascism, capitalism, the tea party, liberals, atheism, imperialism, racism, stalinism, anarcho-capitalism and anti theism.
Economic Left/Right: -8.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.2

So you propose to divide the world up based on intelligence..
That option has merit I suppose, but division based on ideology still makes more sense.

I'd move everyone back to their native homeland. Specifically, the African Savanna. Nobody would be allowed to leave until concrete solutions to various prejudices had been planned out and committed to. Racists and similar bigots would additionally not be able to leave until they convinced me they now realized all people are people and of equal moral worth. Or something ate them. Whatever.
