You can't really have people in the game making claims (like "I rock because I own my own home plus the Machaka and Atlantis capitols", or even "I currently own 5 capitols"), for this would reveal the nation owned by the player.

Actually, my own suggestion was simply once nine capitals are under control, and nothing else; if you make a false claim, you deserve every single complication that will ensue, while a correct claim will result in the game being over.
It's only any use if you want to keep the number of capitals secret; otherwise, your way (or Boron's, which introduces a "every five turns" clause) is better, and every player will know how well the other nations are doing. Removing the victory points should not take more than a handful of seconds, and setting other VPs will be quick and painless. Unless I am mistaken, it will require set starting points though, and that may take a while to do, if balanced starting points are needed.
