Share your disappointment about activity, but will the proposed Permanent Members really prove more active than the Elected Members, and will the proposed 2 term lengths limit for Elected Members really lead to an increase in activity? Or is it more likely to be down to such vagaries as which players are in control of these nations at any one time?

Elections would be somewhat harder to get results for if we included the third world especially if they are able to vote for countries outside of the third world. But maybe a regional representative of some kind. Security Council is also generally for the World Powers and due to the limited Global influence of third world countries both in game and irl, I’m not sure it would make much sense.
Something to think about.
It could be considered one of the World Congress's objectives to give representation (or more cynically, at least the appearance of representation!) to the whole of the world's population, not just the rich countries.
BTW the real-life Security Council regularly includes some poorer countries, and currently includes, for example, Ethiopia, Equatorial Guinea and the Ivory Coast.
