A big block to NIR can help in super netting the v6 announcement at NIR (or at country level) , which can help in reducing the routing table size in long terms

How would this work exactly, given Internet connectivity and routing aggregation is provider-based and does not necessarily follow geopolitical boundaries?

AND can also have IPv6 allocations in consecutive order for the economies where we have NIRs.

Why would this be helpful?

APNIC still allots ASN block to NIRs for further allocation to NIR members.

ASNs are merely tags associated with a bunch of prefixes that have (in theory) a unique routing policy. As such, there isn’t much need to create aggregates, so how they are allocated doesn’t really matter.
