International Congress of Nations (I.C.O.N)-CLOSED-

[Elemental North]

Guys, I want you to rate me on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the best, 1 being the worst, on how you think I've been doing as Executive President.

Thank you. And be honest, I won't get offended.

10. Quite honestly, you've done everything perfectly-a great OP, everything's so fancy (VALARAN YOU BETTER NOT), very strict in that motherly, loving kind of way.

Thank you. That's very sweet of you to say.

[Valdiu]

OFFICIAL COMMUNIQUE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF NATIONS
9:52 PM, Sept. 1, 2014

As I'm sure you're all aware, recently, the Free Kingdom of Allanea declared war on ICoN member the Federal Toaster State ofRoski. It was written within the first International Union, and is a central tenet of any alliance, that should any member of ICoN be attacked, will be met with immediate and decisive defense or retaliation by ICoN as a whole, and an act of war should be met with such a reaction.

However, given that Allanea has laid forth terms which may bring any Roski-Allanea hostilities to a close, the International Congress of Nations has elected not to send military aid at this time. However, it should be noted at this time that the International Congress of Nations and all of its members STAND WITH THE FEDERAL TOASTER STATE OF ROSKI.

~Mitchell Thromright, Valdian Delegate to and President of the International Congress of Nations

Shit's getting real.

[Conkerials]

I am currently drafting a bill concerning free movement between the countries in the ICON. Somewhat like an EU style Schengen Area system. Anyone willing to help draft and co-sponsor?

-PROPOSAL OF LEGISLATION-

Addressed To: Standing Chamber Parliamentarian
RE: Movement of Legislation to the Floor

Legislation Title: Free Migration

Legislation severity of impact (Minuscule, Moderate, Severe, Landmark): Severe

Legislation content (take as much space as necessary): Movement of citizens between participants in the ICON should be limited. Visas will be automatically given to all citizens of any member nations of the ICON. With this visa, citizens are permitted to move between ICON nations freely and with limited interference*. Nations are, however, permitted to opt out of this agreement as is decided by the Head of Government** of any given nation in the ICON.

Citizens in countries that opt out of this agreement are not permitted to freely travel between ICON nations, 'less subject to the individual laws of other nations***.

Citizens in countries that adopt this agreement are permitted to enter and exit the given nation at their own discretion. They may reside in the nation for a maximum of 90 days and may apply for an extension with the government of the nation they are residing in.

Nations that deny entry of a citizen of a nation that chooses to adopt this agreement, who have themselves chosen to adopt it, will be suspected to scrutiny as to why they rejected admittance. Should insufficient reasoning be found by the ICON, then the subject nation will be at the disposal of the ICON and will face appropriate punishment, if any.

*Citizens are still subject border checkpoints
**Or presiding leader
***Conflicting laws, regarding immigration especially, of any given nation are overruled by this agreement, should you choose to adopt it. Should you choose not to adopt it, your individual laws may dictate who is permitted to enter your nation. However, you may not dictate if your citizens may enter other nations, as is subject to their laws.

Author of Legislation: Arkos Vespasian, Delegate from Conkerials

Legislation of impact level Severe and above require co-sponsors (3 for Severe, 5 for Landmark) is this legislation in need of co-sponsors therefore? (Y/N): Y

If yes to above, who are those co-sponsors?: Mitchell Thromright of Valdiu

Is this a re-edited proposal of legislation previously submitted? (Y/N): N

If yes to above, why was the original draft removed from the floor?:

By submitting this legislation to the Parliamentarian, you certify that this submission is true and authentic, and that no part thereto is forged or illegitimate. You also do therefore, seal this submission for edits, and by submitting assure the Parliamentarian that this legislation is the most concise, grammatically correct, finally drafted form it can be in before being amended and edited by the members of Chamber.

Just gonna leave this here for y'all to ponder over. It's incomplete and I'm in need of 2 more sponsors, 'less I need to ramp up the impact to "Landmark".

It's an absolutely pristine piece of legislation, with only one coding error that I have fixed. Feel free to submit this to the floor of Chamber for consideration by the Parliamentarian. I will open up Chambers now. Bloody good work mate. Congratulations! Also, I, as I'm sure Valaran would, support it. So you may tack us both down as co-sponsors.

Nation Name: The Dominion of Novolydia

Nation Link: http://www.nationstates.net/nation=novolydia

View on Civil Rights: The Dominion of Novolydia has no control over its civil citizens' lives at all. Our government's policies are totally anti-totalitarian. We respect civil rights of every citizen, we provide them welfare benefits without expecting them to sacrifice their rights.

View of Political Freedoms: We have no political freedom in our country. We strongly oppose anti-democratic, oppressive and totalitarian ideologies and any political implementation opposing our official pro-liberal state ideology. Novolydia is a dominion founded and run by elites that are high-ranking technocrats and overly educated opinion leaders. Everyone is free to think whatever they want and speak their minds. But it is impossible to found a political party and take action in legislation.

View on Economics: Novolydia puts high importance on following sectors: IT, Automotive, Forestry, Agriculture and Minerals. Novolydia runs a mixed economy. We have private sector companies and public sector companies owned by the state. We usually don't interfere with the private sector and our taxes are relatively low for private sector companies and foreign investors.
