The current permanent security council of the UN is the USA, Russia, as the succesor to the USSR, the PRC as the successor to the RoP, France, and Britain. Replace France with Germany (united or not, but it has to be superior to France like it is nowadays), and add Japan to the council. Keep UK if you please, either way works.
PoD is...1948. So Japan and Germany definitaley lost WWII, and the Cold War is heating up.
So basically, make the "permanent" members not so permanent, maybe some process that has them reassigned over a certain amount of years?
New COuncil:
USA
USSR or Russia
PRC or ROP (unlikely)
UK
Germany
Japan

I think its safe to say those are the dominant powers in the world nowadays, with a heavier emphasis on the first three:D, especially the first :rolleyes:
