-Originality
-Population

-Legitimacy of Government
-Activity
If a nation falls under those standards, then they can qualify for UN Membership. Sometimes, the UN will hold a vote of the General Assembly and Security Council for recognition of a nation. If a nation requests to be in the UN, and it is already in it, the UN will deny their request. Possibly, a vote could be held for recognition.
