How about eliminating the country differential?  Simply 1 point (or 
2 points, take your pick) for QSOs within one's own continent and 
3 points (or 5 points, again pick-em) for QSOs with another continent? 
Miltipliers ... total band-prefixes.  There's still an incentive to 
work DX (higher inter-continental points) ...
