Joining isn't a requirement, only if you want to. Please indicate if you want to join and I will add you to the Charter.

[United Kingdom]

The United Kingdom would love to join.

Xavier Lee

[The Soviet Union]

The Russian Federation would love to join

However we would like to see a larger commitee or Council that would deal with all security problems This Security Council would be compreised of 3 Permenate Members and 3 non- Permenate Members. the Non Permenate members would rotate every month from a list esablished by the assembly.

Wheter or not this is added the Russian Federation signs

Vladimer Putin

[nederland]

Nederland applies to join the UN.

[Canada]

BTW, I'm using every nation's RL full name. If you want me to change it, just let me know.

Very well, whom would we assign to be permanent members of this Council? What I ask is, by what criteria would they be judged?

[The Soviet Union]

I would say the real members of the Security Council. All nations can apply to become permenate members but the original Permenate Members have to vote on it. 2/3 majority

Real Un security members
The Council has five permanent members:
People's Republic of China
French Republic
Russian Federation
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
United States of America
the others are elected by the GA

[Canada]

I think we should suit it more to the balance of power here, then in RL. IMO, it makes more sense to have the most powerful nations here on the Council.

[The Soviet Union]

Thats good but, How do we determine how is Powerful?

[Canada]

Perhaps we can after our RP

[Germany]

Just tell me when I can "resume" actions on the Czech.

[nederland]

imo opinion you can continue them now, but it's up to the admins to decide it.

Thats good but, How do we determine how is Powerful?

If we will use the stats of NS to determine our militairy strenght then we could also use it to determine the ''strong'' nations. That would be nations with:
1 a large population
2 a large economy
and maybe, a strong army.

So what the political system of your nation is has nothing to do with it.

That is what I would suggest.

[Germany]

Well I had a high standing in all of those, and for Defense I may have best.
