Its awful...looks like something my niece would play with now...*grumble*...Its simple enough to get around the optionality issue, if you're curious, ambassador. One could make it illegal for member states to knowingly create unbacked currency that is not their own legal tender with the intention of deliberately weakening the strength of another states' money, establish liaison points and a committee responsible for coordinating the intelligence on counterfeiting operations not backed by governments, as well as technical support for nations seeking to protect themselves from such, and empower them to liaise with national authorities that target such operations. Participation in enforcement would, then, be almost entirely optional, where nations themselves would be barred from allowing institutional counterfeiting operations from thriving in their jurisdiction. Ostensibly, those nations with odd items, like chewing gum, either have a control to prevent uncontrolled flow of currency into their economy, or have a means by which to recognize those backed by their government, or otherwise have protections in place to prevent accidental collapse of their economy. However, this would be a concern for such economies with or without legislation on the matter, so I don't see the issue. Its all a matter of finesse. *COUGH COUGH*Ihopetheauthorheardthat*Cough*"
Kenneth gets the record of everything beeing said and re-reads the statement ''hum...*cough*. I think it would be benneficial if you took over this proposal ambassador! I don't know if you wan't to use your time on it; or even if you agree with it but... wow!''
