Interesting thought.
Couple thoughts/questions to work through:
- If merged would comments be merged into new post? This could cause some weird reading.
- Zaps, would they be merged and re allocated and/or equal split of new zaps to merge post?
Alternative Option:
My personal thought: would be to create limited posting space for each territory. Think bitcoin mempool but for Stacker news. Example 6 post per hour per Territory.
If it is a slow news day then you might have duplicate post as the cost would be low.
Hot news day, fees to post would go up and merging would make more sense. Kind of like a mutli-sig for a single post between multiple users.
All of this is easier said then done. And this is not a top priority in my opinion.
Your alternative is an interesting take. I agree it's not a major priority, but there has been a lot of talk on SN lately about expansion and improvements. The devs are good; I'm not worried about it being a struggle for them to implement.
As to the questions, I think if you merge fast enough, then there aren't any comments to worry about. Also, this typically happens with external content links that don't get a lot of reaction here anyway. I wouldn't worry that dozens of posts would merge and be incoherent. The merged posts could be tagged [MERGED] anyway.
Zaps allocation is up for debate, but I think the first to post wins the pot. People reposting shouldn't be rewarded; they should be penalized.

Devil would be in the details. Example: Is it really the same post or different article on the same topic.

That's why people can vote.
It's usually links to the same podcast on different platforms (YouTube, fountain, website, etc).
