GENERAL ASSEMBLY PROPOSAL

Elect WA Delegates

A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.


Category: Furtherment of Democracy

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Danish Kingdom

Description: Every day regions are putting WA Delegates into our WA who are not elected, but chosen by founders of a region.

Election Process:

My proposal suggests changing the ways you get into the WA by replacing unelected WA Delegates with elected delegares. This would be done per region. A nation would put itself forward to be elected. If they stand unopposed the normal method would apply, so they would get automaticly appointed to the WA, but if they have 1 or more rival, an election would be called. An election would be held every 2 months unless the Leader of the WA (see below) if the leader calls this, an telegram would go out to evey nation asking them to either say they are not running for WA or to say they are. On election day each nation in evey region will have a list of candidates in a telegram. They reply with their prefrence. Once votes have been counted the winner will be officialy appointed to the WA by the founder of the region.

Leader of the WA:

Once all delegates have been appointed, the members of the WA elect a delegate to be leader of the chamber, using the same method as above. If unopposed you automaticly get the job. The leader is in charge of putting proposals to the chamber, for all delegates to vote on first. Once the proposals have past the delegates it will be voted on by the members. If it does not pass the members it is up to the leader to change parts of the proposal to meet the members demands. If it does not pass the delegates it will never be made into a real law. The leader elections take place 3 days after the WA elections to allow campaigning time.

Minimal changes:

Changing the name of members who are not delegates to Free Delegates.

Only WA Delegates get to vote on proposals in the Security council.

Approvals: 0

Status: Lacking Support (requires 73 more approvals)

Voting Ends: in 3 days 9 hours

Oh, and this one. This probably violates something, makes far too many changes to the way game mechanics work.

Henceforth it would be a "game mechanics" violation.

Constitution of the IOESC

A resolution to promote funding and the development of education and the arts.


Category: Education and Creativity

Area of Effect: Cultural Heritage

Proposed by: XENEIZIA

Description: This Constitution declare:
That since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed; That ignorance of each other’s ways and lives has been a common cause of that suspicion and mistrust between the peoples of through which their differences have all too often broken into war; by the propagation ignorance and prejudice, of the doctrine of the inequality of men and races; That the wide diffusion of culture, and the education of humanity for justice and liberty and peace are indispensable to the dignity of man and constitute a sacred duty which all the nations must fulfil in a spirit of mutual assistance and concern; that a peace based exclusively upon the political and economic arrangements of governments would not be a peace which could secure the unanimous, lasting and sincere support of the peoples of the world, and that the peace must therefore be founded, if it is not to fail, upon the intellectual and moral solidarity of mankind. For these reasons, believing in full and equal opportunities for education for all, in the unrestricted pursuit of objective truth, and in the free exchange of ideas and knowledge, are agreed and determined to develop and to increase the means of communication between their peoples and to employ these means for the purposes of mutual understanding and a truer and more perfect knowledge of each other’s lives; In consequence where of they do hereby create the International Organization of Educational, Scientific and Cultural (IOESC) for the purpose of advancing, through the educational and scientific and cultural relations of the peoples of the world, the objectives of international peace and of the common welfare of mankind.
Purposes and functions:
1. The IOESC is to contribute to peace and security by collaboration among the nations through education, science and culture in order to further universal respect for justice, for the rule of law and for the human rights and fundamental freedoms without any distinction.
2. To realize this purpose the IOESC will: Collaborate in the work of advancing the mutual knowledge and understanding of peoples, through all means of mass communication and free flow of ideas by word and image; impulse to popular education and to the spread of culture: By collaborating with Members, at their request, in the development of educational activities; By instituting collaboration among the nations to advance the ideal of equality of educational opportunity without distinctions; By suggesting educational methods best suited to prepare the children of the world for the responsibilities of freedom; Maintain, increase and diffuse knowledge: By assuring the conservation and protection of the world’s inheritance of books, works of art and monuments of history and science, and recommending to the nations concerned the necessary international conventions; By encouraging cooperation among the nations in all branches of intellectual activity, including the international exchange of persons active in the fields of education, science and culture; By initiating methods of international cooperation calculated to give the people of all countries access to the printed and published materials produced by any of them.
3. With a view to preserving the independence, integrity and fruitful diversity of the cultures and educational systems of the states, the IOESC is prohibited from intervening in a domestic jurisdiction.

Bullshit, and incomprehensible bullshit at that.

Further Acknowledging that poor, needy and working class citizens contribute greatly to labor and infrastructure of a nation.

Concerned that many poor and working class citizens are discriminated against and face unjust laws because of their individual status.

Further Concerned that many poor and working class citizens are treated with different justice systems, economic restrictions and other unlawful restrictions posed by governments and private businesses.

Dismayed that many member nations pose high taxation rates to their poor and working class citizens.

The World Assembly hereby,

Defines Working class citizens as those who earns 35% less then the average citizen or person(s) who struggle to maintain financial balance. Poor is defined as a citizen who earns 75%(or greater) less then the average citizen or person(s) who are unable to maintain food, water or shelter on a regular basis.

II. Provide fair and equal laws for all citizens regardless of social groups.
III. To build public shelters for poor or homeless persons.
IV. To provide free food and water for poor persons.
V. To promote understanding of the poor and working class and to promote equality in the community.
VI. Increase their Welfare budget by 5%

All Working Class or poor citizens have the right to
I. right to healthcare and police services.
II. Access to legally abstained private property.
III. Receive a primary education
IV. Access food, water and shelter.

Urges all member nations to expand their government budget into welfare and promote policies which help poor and working class citizens.

Forbids Nations from-
I. Creating laws that condemn the poor or working class
II. Passing laws that push for unfair special laws for working class or poor citizens.
III. Imposing taxation higher then 20%(of income) on the poor.

Forbids corporations from-

Assuring that all nations shall have the right to enforce laws in poverty majority areas.

Y'know, I must have missed those little hidden codicils in each and every "rights" resolution whch, according to this it seems, excluded the poor and working class.

A million bucks, huh? Man, I can't wait to get that bonus. That's buy me almost a quarter of an M1A2 Abrams, or one 400th of a F-22! On second thought, I think I'll buy my people a few thousand AK-47s. Think we'll need ammunition ... or money to pay those soldiers?

I guess a million sounds like a ton of money to a ten-year-old.

Joint Police Task Force
A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.

Category: International Security
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: The Galactic Triumvirate

Description: It is now clear that corruption has played a major part in undermining the world’s social, economic and environmental development. Resources have been diverted to improper use and the quality of services and materials used for development seriously compromised.

The long-term sustainability of business depends on free and fair competition. Corrupt practices also accompany and facilitate drug dealing and organised crime. Money laundering and illicit international money transfers are used as support mechanisms for international terrorism. Global businesses have to be constantly vigilant to avoid being associated with these major international challenges.

Lets work together to help secure our nations for the future of humanity by creating a global task force.

EDIT: The nation is new, so the player might be a newcomer who was overcome by enthusiasm rather than somebody who's really been around here for long enough to know better, so I sent them a TG explaining that the proposal is illegal and why it might be a good idea for that player themselves to submit a GHR (link to that page provided in my TG) asking the Mods to delete it.

Restrict WMD Sanctions

A resolution to slash worldwide military spending.


Category: Global Disarmament

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Hauptskalreich

Description: The representatives of Hauptskalreich feel that an armed peace is much better than a weaponless one. Such serenity of a disarmed peace only encompasses nations within the jurisdiction of the World Assembly. Therefore, these are three clauses backing my proposal.

I : Rogue Nations

Nations living outside the rulings of the World Assembly can obtain weapons of mass destruction without abiding to international restrictions. This gives them the ability to utilize said weapons without adhering to international restrictions. As a way of preventing said catastrophic events, it is only logical that we protect ourselves with the same arms. A nuclear standoff's effects do not outweigh a crater where a capital city used to be.

II : Economic Benefits

Removing WMD sanctions guarantees numerous economic benefits such as:

A) Reinvigorated industry for economically stagnant nations (From infrastructure used to compete with neighbors)

B) The buying and selling of nuclear weapons between nations can generate upscale revenue

C) Trade partners are better when they still exist

III : War Deterrency

In a situation where multiple nations are preparing to become belligerent, the aversion of thousands of lost lives can be achieved through nuclear deterrent. Belligerents will be discouraged when the threat of weapons of mass destruction is poised against them. A tense, unsteady peace is far better than a long, bloody conflict.

At the very least, branding. Probably contradicts the crap out of NAPA as well, but I couldn't e bothered to cross reference for something this laughable.

The Pro- Small Business Act

A resolution to develop industry around the world.


Category: Advancement of Industry

Area of Effect: Environmental Deregulation

Proposed by: The United Territories of Texas

Description: The United Territories of Texas call for a full repeal of the Minimum Standard of Living Act upon its inevitable adoption.

Reasonings:

1) While the theory of reducing income inequality is noble, taking money from richer citizens, who may or may not be business owners, is unfair, being as the majority of richer citizens have earned their money through large amounts of hard work.

2) An increasing amount of citizens are using their hard-earned money to create businesses. Redistributing wealth through increased taxation of richer citizens, who tend to be a large portion of the business-creating class, takes away the funds necessary to maintain a profitable business.

3) When funds are taken away from privately-owned businesses (including, but not limited to, restaurants, stores, independent agencies, etc.), many businesses are forced to close their doors permanently due to a lack of personal income. Even if a loan has been obtained, the business must be profitable enough to pay back the owner's invested capital as well as the owner's debt if investors or loans are concerned. Finally, the business must be profitable enough to cover the overhead cost and the cost of paying any employees.

4) If a business loses money through any means, the owner is hard-pressed to find the funds needed to cover the costs listed in point three, especially concerning the payment of employees. When a business is forced to close its doors, all of its employees lose their jobs. Depending on the state of the economy, they may not be able to find jobs. This could, on the surface, mean a lower income for those employees.

Conclusion: redistributing wealth through taxation in the long-term costs jobs for employees, sends more business owners into debt, and discriminates against the portion of society that happens to earn more money than others.

The reasonings above lead The United Territories of Texas to move for an immediate repeal of the Minimum Standard of Living Act upon its inevitable adoption world-wide.
