Kalu Mian, it is believed that even if Germany and Japan were the losers of WW2, they will always maintain their status in world, whether US and EU fall or may take 1-2 decades more to fall. but Japanese and German will always have many superior technologies which will keep them on top for next 3-4 decades, at least, people widely accept. the + point with Turkey/Indonesia is, these two emerging economies will only grow, never fall while Germany/Japan may hardly maintain their status by 2020, even if many of US/EU will have fallen till then.
start with Greece will then proceed to Italy, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Britain and then next we find France and others following this list. one by one all these economies are heavily indebted while debt of US is already around 103% to its GDP to date, with budget deficit around 10% of GDP itself, with not enough hope to grow like a developing country in future also. but with all these troubling US/EU economies, have a look on Germany who is the only hope of EU for survival right now while Japan..... check and you will find Japanese currency has much appreciated during last 4 years than US$. they have second largest foreign reserve after China and they have many key techs which will maintain inflow of money, similar to Germany. US also has many key techs but so much expanses on wars, already heavily indebted and on the top of that, they always look for high qualified migrants who develop techs for US and then back home
Kalu Miah, apart from my ME degree, I also did my master of engineering management from university of technology sydney and there we had 2 subjects of 'Quality'. and there Japan was part of our study, as Japan is the country which 'defined' Quality in world. right now we find many Chinese products also have same quality as many Japanese products but there was a time in 80s, that even the US's made Japanese products didn't have market there as people were looking for 'Made in Japan' products only, and were not buying even the same Japanese products made in US
Bangladesh is a country of 160mil people, very limited resources then Japan itself has around 130mil people with very less resources. and please check this GDP comparison as below and find, even if Bangladesh may maintain 5% growth for next 100 years, where they will be in 22nd century. while even if Japan may hardly maintain its current economic state, 0% growth for next 100 years, where they will stand by then. and its also true that a strong military means for those who have big GDP size. remember how Russia had to destroy/decomission its many defence arms after fall of SU as they didnt had enough money that time? Japanese have money and people who may develop high techs then always remember that they are as powerful as their ranking in GDP..........
Maybe 1 vote per country + 1 vote for each 100 mln. citizens, up to 5 votes total.
Agreed about more population = more votes, but not linear, i.e. China with India having almost half of UN votes would be unreasonable as well
