That's literally what blockchain solves. ENS (Ethereum Naming Service) already does this.

That's literally what blockchain solves. ENS (Ethereum Naming Service) already does this.
The ethereum block chain is centralized - it may not have a geographical location, but there's still only one of it. In a global partition there become zero of it (only two incorrect fragments), not two of it.
Other people have even argued that blockchains are states - as in governments, not as in distributed state replication protocols.
