Voting in the United Nations

As much as the voting system in the security sounds unfair (with the - relatively - arbitrary VETO rights), the voting in the general assembly (as inconsequential and spectacle-only as it is) seems funnier to me ... the One-Man One-Vote when applied to countries becomes utterly ridiculous: How can a country with 1Billion+ people have the same voting power as a country of 100Thousand- people ?? Why should this country of 100K people have the same saying about the planet's future ?

The one-man-one-vote when applied to countries becomes the some-people-are-more-equal-than-others vote!

By the way, How on earth are these countries made in the first place !! some are based on ethnicity, but many don't have their own countries .. some are based on historic coincidence, and some are based on funny deals !!!
