Avram in MD:

Create a European union type Superstate over the entire county.

This would be done as part of a peace agreement with the Palestinians and include the West Bank and Gaza, or would this only be in effect within the pre-1967 borders?

Either one would work. External security (if need be) could be provided by the Chinese & Americans via a joint base.

Then split it into 5 federal states:

This would seemingly ease the stepping on toes among groups, but how would it solve anything in HaKatan’s world view (e.g., the three oaths, Zionism, etc.)

Because there is a “superstate”, the Charaidim would simply getting their autonomous area within a larger non-Zionist state.

4: The seculars

Assuming this plan arose from my hypothetical situation where everyone came around to HaKatan’s view of Zionism – I’m not sure there would still be seculars. The views of the religious Zionists would also be quite changed.

I disagree. The “Zionists” of our time don’t really believe in Zionism anyway. The religous Zionists would still want to have their own area. Think of the Bayit Yehudi voter (although they would possibly be willing to go in with the seculars).

Full population swap,

This would cause considerable hardship and resentment.

So would any other “peace” agreement. You could have people stay where they are but lose citizenship rights (but be allowed to naturalize), similar to Switzerland naturalization laws.

taxation, benefits, laws, security, etc. only from the federal state.

You mean from the Euro Union style state, or each individual state?

Each individual state.
