#2 As I recall, Japan is the #2 donator to the U.N. and other international efforts, yet demands little in the way of control. If any country is to get a permanent seat on the UNSC, Japan should be it.

#5 Oh yeah, I'd love to see Japan and India on the Security council. It would be so much fun watching the Chicoms and the IslamoEUrans quiver and shit peach seeds.
