I think all the rules that you have stated in
your proposed UN-Reload can be synthetized in
one sentence: the USA has more votes than all
other nations put together :-P
Seriously, you can't create a democratic international
organism that might not, some time, be ruled by India
and China. They have most of human population, so
they will eventually control it.
Now, how does it remind me of my readings of Foundation
and the Foundation and Robots Triology?
