IP4 allocated on known pools assigned to world-wide areas.
this wikipedia page illustrates a distribution.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_IPv4_address_allocation

The point is that the system can control the allocation of nodes by ip4 pool.

In fact , any node can connect to the system, by any transport like ip6 or tor, but only those participating in the voting process are sybil-controlled.

I would not call it premine, just mined, the network is running and mining.

Premine implies that the genesis started with allocations, which it is not true.
The way to verify it is by looking at the public ledger, taking the amount of coins in circulation and the originating time -oct-2018- and veryfy it matches 5e8 per minute.

Anyway this is just a number which is unbounded. it is huge intentionally, but small compared to the capacity. Time will adjust the number to real value.

Governance is meant to be distributed, not central authority, eligibility will be given only by skill, not economic power.

WoT -web of trust, right?

WoU - more fairly named for this systems based on untrusted nodes
