To steal from another sport that uses a (ridiculous) ranking system maybe we adopt the BCS style of ranking from college football.

We take a general populus vote (AP Poll)
Then certain mentors from established teams and educated people from delphi are selected and they cast a ballot (coaches poll)
And then we use some style of FIM point calculation for the entire nation (dont need to rank just need to know how many points they got in their own region or whatever) And we just combine those

I think it sounds a lot harder than it would be *shrugs* But the BCS doesnt work either sooooo
