How would the logistics of this even work? Like would every citizen be given their own unique creds, or do they share just one? Would the publishers charge a massive fee for all 1 billion citizens (at a massive discount) or would they just charge for one account? What about password sharing with citizens from another country?

Most probably each public library would be assigned a set of accounts, which any citizen can use via their computers by visiting the library.
