    India must be included in a new SC. They are the 2nd largest nation in the world, and they sit next to China, the first largest. India will be very powerful once it gets it's organized. A country with the voice of a billion people deserves to be heard on the SC.

    Japan is an isolationist which can't even use it's military on foriegn soil in a warzone. Lacking any bite to their bark they shouldnt be on the SC.

    Any SC without China is doomed to fail the UN's original intent. The UN was created to keep peace among the giants of the world, regardless of their currently government type. Secluding all those who are not democracies means destroying most chances of having stable peace. We have gone an amazing 62 years without a major conflict between world powers, hopefully we'll have 62 more. But secluding China is not the way.


    As for the Vote, I went with India+ US, China, UK, Fr, Rus. Though the UK and Russia are debatable. I dont see how the EU could be on the SC. They are an economic pac, a weak confederacy at best, not a Nation, yet. Maybe one day the EU will develop into a country but until then they shouldnt, couldnt, wont be on the SC.
