UNSC is incomplete without the representation of 1+ billion people.

Permanent seats are only reserved for the big 5 winners of WW2.

Others who wish to aspire to that seat must prove themselves.

The seats were won with blood and millions of lives. You need to fight for it, with gun and bombs not sweet talk.

I did not know this. Thanks for the information. I thought the Permanent UNSC seats were not that important.
