You've added extra levels of indirection, but it comes to the same
thing. You're requiring that everyone who wants to conduct business on
the internet (taking credit card numbers etc) has to go through four
separate authentication processes, and a failure in any one of them
means the site is not considered legit.

Right. And "legitimate" is defined as "not refused by any of the four
countries". All they have to do is decide that something's not
legitimate, and bam, they're off air. ANY ONE of your four has this
power of veto.
