I suppose it all comes down to how the NAC is organized. But I imagine
it 
will still be one vote per nation in the general assembly, that way the 
smaller nations aren't rolled over by the larger more populous nations.
One 
example today is the Pacific Nations, Nauru [which Beth tells me is the 
smallest and newest member of the general assembly, if her memory isn't 
faulty ;) ] gets the same voting rights as the US, UK or any other
larger 
member states.

BUT back to the NAC and how it might fit back together, I would suggest 
going back a hundred years or more to when communication was fast as the

fastest transport. News travelled across the sea as fast as the fastest 
ship, examining how the British or Spanish (or back further still the 
Greeks or Phoencians) managed to administer their interests over long 
distances.
