I suppose it all comes down to how the NAC is organized. But I imagine it will

newest member of the general assembly, if her memory isn't faulty;)] gets the
same voting rights as the US, UK or any other larger member states.
BUT back to the NAC and how it might fit back together, I would suggest going
back a hundred years or more to when communication was fast as the
fastest transport. News travelled across the sea as fast as the fastest ship,
examining how the British or Spanish (or back further still the Greeks or
Phoencians) managed to administer their interests over long distances.

Instead of "one man, one vote", maybe it should be "one pound (dollar,
whatever), one vote". That way the countries which have torn up their own
economies wouldn't have the opportunity to screw up anyone else's.

That's not a smile; that's the evil grin of the female of the species when
