That would make it possible to get someone other than a third world tribal leader elected as UN Secretary General.

If we are going to do it like that, our states should be able to vote separately too. Sounds like a legitimate complaint. Places like China and India would want to chime in too of course, and they have high populations. The Chinese & Indians would be winning lots of the votes.

You made excellent points. "EU considers itself a superpower, but its members vote separately in the UN. The former USSR states get to do the same now also." We are only one sovereign nation. We would have to split up for that to happen. Something like our Congress and the Senate with representation based on GDP, population, and land mass forming three houses of the UN. Having a minimum of some really high number to have representation for the GDP component.
