Just to be clear:
Talented, skilled, and dedicated players that cluster together into cohesive organizations will ALWAYS dominate competitive games.
You will not ever formulate a ruleset to make PC "More Inclusive", the best will always rise to the top along whatever rails you provide and will squeeze others out, and you will never stop that.
So please do not misplace the desire of having meaningful activities for casual or lesser-skilled players into the PVP end-game of Dust.

Well, what you need probably correlates to the size of your organization.
What if my organization is composed of 1000 of the best mercenaries in the game? Hey, it's going to be real hard to keep all my mercs clothed and fed, and it looks like I can field multiple teams simultaneously in any given timezone.
I'm gonna need a hundred districts or so.
Oh hey, what if the 2nd best organization is 5,000 of the next tier of player.
They might need a few hundred.
What if the 3rd best organization is a semi-competent Zerg of 10k?
They might need a thousand.
And so on.
The result will be another "blue donut" composed of the best players in the game, as usual, because the best are the best, and no ruleset will make a bad team of bad players relevant in an instanced 16v16 FPS.
Save the scrub-dreams for PVE and other non-competitive elements.
