Who gives a rat's ass about US and UK (besides them that is) so that's no surprise

I thought France would back down and that Russia would abandon it.... but it didn't happen

I think there ought to be a veto quota; each country gets so many a year, and when it's used them up, it can't have any more.

Should be a laugh, if nothing else.

Yeah, but then Greece would just veto anything to do with Cyprus and we'd get nowhere.

We'll always get the douze points though from Cyprus.

For how long will we be able to exclude India? That's an awful lot of people in a growing economy.

Besides, appoint Canada to the Security Council and demote the French. Canada can represent the interests of France anyways.

Not really, since as I corrected, Macedonia does support.
Gave you a link and what good does it do?
None.

Neither did Greece. Just because you jumped on the bandwagon after the Macedonians kicked your ass doesn't mean that the victory was yours. FYROM > FOPG

Firstly, since the US has recognized this "country" as the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, you calling it Macedonia is unpatriotic


On a separate note, I'm glad to see... France in that link (and Mongolia )

The Greeks of the time didn't think so; you're just spewing revisionist history in order to claim Alexander's successes for your crap country. No dice.

Only Demosthenes called them Barbarians so as to gain as much support for Athens as possible.

Still don't change the fact that you should make a statue of Osama and worship him for the good he has done for you... ungrateful bunch

Anyway, to get this back on topic... Instead of making wish lists and wild guesses about who deserves to be in the Security Council, let's just look at some figures and decide based on that. Let's take population and GDP for starters:

code:
GDP in 10tothe9th dollars: * population in millions: * GDP*POP=
1.  US:        10171         281                       2858051
2.  Japan:      4245         127                        539115
3.  Germany:    1873          83                        155459
4.  UK:         1406          60                         84360
5.  France:     1302          60                         78120
6.  China:      1160        1284                       1489440
7.  Italy:      1090          58                         63220 
8.  Canada:      677          31                         20987     
9.  Mexico:      617         103                         63551        
10. Spain:       577          40                         23080
11. Brazil:      502         176                         88352
12. India:       477        1046                        498942 
13. S-Korea:     422          48                         20256                     
14. Netherlands: 375          16                          6000
15. Australia:   368          20                          7360
16. Russia:      310         145                         44950
17. Argentina:   269          38                         10222
18. Switzerland: 247           7                          1729
19. Belgium:     227          10                          2270
20. Sweden:      210           9                          1890
Three other populated countries/regions:
xx. Indonesia    173         232                         40136 
xx. Pakistan      59         148                          8732
xx. EU25        8200?        452?                      3706400

Yes, I had too much time to waste.

Based on that, I'd say my Security Council should consist of:
USA
China
Japan
India
Germany
UK
and, of course:
France

And if the EU should get one seat, again based on GDP and population:
USA (3 votes)
EU (3 votes - we'll be modest for now and accept parity with the USA )
China (2 votes)
Japan and India (1 vote)

I don't why France bothers trying to do anything on the world stage, nobody ever takes any notice, they'll only listen when France agrees with them.
