Which of these philosophies best describes the UN?
I would say Tyranny of the Majority. But Psychotic Dictatorship
also fits. Anarchy might work to.

If you say 'other' post your view.

Tyranny of the minoirity since most nations probably don't bother to vote.

It's Tyranny By Majority actually... where most of the population live well-off at a few ethnic groups' expense.

The UN is a tool for getting power in my eyes.

it is set up here as a tyrany of the majority. That's the way it's explained in the help about it, that's teh effect that it has.

Just to clarify are we talking about the real UN or NS UN? Either way I think tyranny of the minority still applies, though for now I shall assume NS. While the NS UN is a system of majority voting many nations do not vote and many more join the UN simply to gain power over a region by becomming a delegate. The delegates also have ultimate control over what gets voted on by UN members and they are clearly in a minority, while members have some degree of control over who gets to be a delegate once someone is in power they can be very hard to remove.

Your assumption is correct.

Wolomy you're back!!

Anyways I'd call the UN "Tyranny by Majority". Most countries do vote... they just vote yes regardless of whatever it is.
