<one can create whatever international org one choses (NUN in your case), but try taking away centuries (if not more) worth of common culture, lifestyle etc amongst 2 sets of people, and the international org will fail.> Kumar, where's the "taking away centuries worth of common culture" in what I suggested will happen? Think of New Zealand and Britain and Oz and USA and Canada, and India for example. Heaps of common culture, lifestyle etc going back centuries. All are keen members of not only the British Commonwealth, but the United Nations. The United Nations as far as those countries are concerned is a doing well and all are keen participants in maintaining the UN system. The UN isn't failing for those countries. What I'm suggesting with the NUN is something which would find better fit with the geopolitical facts as they exist in the 21st century. For example, Japan and Germany did lose WWII, but there's no need for them to remain forever as pariahs in the UN and as less than France for example. India rates as just another country despite having 1 billion people. There's no need to take anything away from people with things in common to create a NUN constitution. I don't really understand what you meant. New Zealand separated from Australia, and later Great Britain [now just called Britain], but that didn't hurt the allegiance of both to the Queen, the British Empire [while it existed], ANZUS [until NZ was kicked out], UN [all are in and active participants].
