GENERAL ASSEMBLY PROPOSAL
ID: consigahria_1474262073
Garrotte Tax Rate Regulation

A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.

Category: Free Trade

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Consigahria

Description: We, the myriad body of the World Assembly,

understanding the importance and necessity of the expenditure of money for the purpose of a nation's wealth in amenities such as public transportation, public education, etc.,

yet dismayed at the heartless actions of some member nations who have chosen to collect 100% of the incomes of their working classes in taxes,

and further aghast at the greed and selfishness that the administration of some member nations have exhibited in also choosing to enact and enforce abusive and excessively harsh laws which make payment of a 100% income tax rate compulsory and laws which make the resistance of such a legally reprehensible act, punishable by imprisonment or fines,

recognize the poverty, hunger, destitution, famine, death, pain, and other damages suffered by the victims of these aforementioned atrocities, which number in many thousands of billions,

mandate that no member nation of the World Assembly shall take more than 99.0% of the incomes of their working class, through taxation or any other means,

and exclude from this law individuals and companies which voluntarily give more than that amount.

Approvals: 2 (The Anarchic fascist republic of an isle, Tee Googly Coffee Me)

Status: Lacking Support (requires 86 more approvals)

Voting Ends: in 2 days 23 hours

Free Trade initially seems like a logical choice, however, given the wording, it is more about individual welfare than commerce, business, or trade. This would belong under Social Justice.

Beyond categories, it could be considered fourth-wall breaking in that it's referencing an aspect of game mechanics, the insane taxation algorithms used to calculate government revenue based on choices made with daily issues.

HOPING that if children don't use drugs when they're younger, it will prevent them from using them in the future.

ASSURING that this law will not effect the use drugs for adults.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY PROPOSAL
ID: archinian_1474314952

The Right Of Homosexuality

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Archinian

Description: A proposal to allow the marriage of two people of the same gender, and allow benefits equal to those of heterosexual marriages.

Acknowledging that homosexual marriage in over 21 countries, whereas 71 have some form of criminalization in place.

Believing that marriage to any person, no matter gender, should be a basic human right, and that no one should see discrimination on any form because of the person they married.

Understanding that not everyone agrees with the concept of Homosexual marriage, but strongly believe that if a civilized country wants to care for all it's citizens, they must accept all marriages.

Hereby

1) Sees that all countries allow free homosexual marriage for all people over the age of consent in said country.

a) Defines a 'Homosexual Marriage' as "The legal union between two people of the same sex. The state or condition of being married to another person of the same gender."

2) Urges all countries to accept these new conditions with open arms on the bases of human rights.

3) Requires all countries see the equal treatment of Homosexual marriages to those of a Heterosexual Marriage, and that discrimination of any kind is not tolerated.

4) Hopes that the WA community will pass this proposal in the hopes that love can flourish between any person no matter the gender.

Approvals: 0

Status: Lacking Support (requires 88 more approvals)

Voting Ends: in 3 days 5 hours

Duplication of CoCR and possible RL reference with the 21 and 71 countries section.

by **Omigodtheykilledkenny** » Mon Sep 19, 2016 3:43 pm

You could make an argument for duplication. However, a focused (and legal) marriage-rights resolution might not be out of line, either, since the exact extent of COCR's coverage on these things has always been murky.

Wouldn't that effectively be a backdoor ideological ban on communism as well?

by **Cogoria** » Mon Sep 19, 2016 4:45 pm

Nah, communism would still be legal, we'd simply stop paying people any money in wages and simply provide the food they need to survive, they'd get 100% of the bread so technically no tax at all..........

by **Omigodtheykilledkenny** » Mon Sep 19, 2016 4:48 pm

It's also Game Mechanics, trying to set tax rates.

Repeal "Restrictions on Child Labor"

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.

Category: Repeal | Resolution: GA#4 | Proposed by: The Falstringer Realm

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #4: Restrictions on Child Labor (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: UNDERSTANDING that the economy and development in some nations is in such a place in which children need to work for subsistence of their family or in which they cannot access schools;

EXPLAINING that this repeal will not apply to nations in which the work of children for subsistence is not needed and/or children may access adequate education

HOPING that my fellow World Assembly delegates will stand by me in this decision to assist the economies of developing nations

DEFINING child labour as a situation in which an individual under the age of full responsibility in your nation undertakes:

1) formal, contracted work for salary
2) confinement to the premises of the employment site
3) work involving deadly machinery, items, or acts
4) work which involves unassisted transport of large loads or for long distances
5) work exposing children to unhealthy weather, noise, or light
6) work exposing children to illegal substances or cigarettes
7) work when the child can access adequate schooling
8) work exposing a child to armed conflict
9) work in which a child engages in acts of prostitution

The definitions clause is probably legislating in a repeal, there's possible metagaming for tweaking with the repeal rules, and "stand by me" in the third clause has a slight chance of being a branding violation. Oh, and there's no repeals clause.

EDIT: Put a space in the eighth definition, because otherwise it formed into an emoji.
EDIT 2: Was informed that I can disable smilies.

I have a question - it says that this repeal will only apply within certain WA nations - is that legal and permissible? Because I thought ALL resolutions applied in ALL WA nations, and therefore all repeals of all resolutions must work the same way?

You're correct, it's definitely not kosher. I'm assuming that's what Umeria was referring to with "possible metagaming".

Category: Environmental | Industry Affected: All Businesses | Proposed by: Xaivain

Also yet another bloggy one-liner. And it seems to also be completely optional from what little I could garner from it.

This one has a clear branding violation. While there are no overt spelling mistakes, there are grammar mistakes, which are punctuation, tense, and run-on sentences.

by **Cogoria** » Wed Sep 21, 2016 1:24 pm

It also assumes every government is run like the US, not many countries are federations so "federally" funding things is impossible

Act 2- Enforce laws to give citizens more rights.

Kill a tree plant a tree
A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.

Category: Environmental
Industry Affected: Logging
Proposed by: Stewarland

Description: The world has a serious problem, that happens to be trees, we have a shortage of trees in the world and we need to stabilise this, so I propose that we construct a tree farm in every country where you plant a tree every time you chop one down.

Approvals: 2 (Wulikole Ber, Zasnia)
Status: Lacking Support (requires 85 more approvals)
Voting Ends: in 2 days 16 hours

Leaving aside any questions of practicality, or of grammar, "I propose" is a formatting ('Branding') illegality and there's no operative clause.

Healthcare and Public Aid
A resolution to modify universal standards of healthcare.

Category: Health
Area of Effect: Healthcare
Proposed by: Lebensdauer

Description: ACKNOWLEDGING the poor and those who cannot afford their own basic medical needs,

KNOWING many countries, states and nations cannot save their lives,

SEEING it unfold before our own eyes,

The WA RECOMMENDS a system of healthcare better suited to the impoverished:

1) Any person with an annual income of under 10000 SMUs is allowed free admission to any government-acknowledged hospital in the nation.

2) In any nation other than the nation an impoverished (see #1) citizen is part of, limited non-emergency admission is allowed, the limit being at least 1 admission per year and defined by the nation.

3) If an impoverished citizen cannot enter a hospital due to it not being able to handle the person, the WA can send transportation so that the impoverished citizen can travel to a wealthier nation where there is a functioning hospital that the citizen can be admitted to.

Approvals: 2 (Ciltyn, Zavina)
Status: Lacking Support (requires 85 more approvals)
Voting Ends: in 2 days 16 hours

1) What are "SMUs"?

Single monetary units, would be my guess.

Do you realize how many passed resolutions this inanity would retroactively declare illegal? It's bonkers to require everyone to continually say "this only applies in WA nations" throughout their resolutions when by default WA resolutions can only apply to member nations.

My guess would be some kind of 'Standard Monetary Units', but we can hardly legislate on the basis of guesses... and if they're relying on a term that comes from somewhere in the RP forums, which I suspect this might be, then that's illegality for Meta-gaming of course.

There's precedent for this interpretation... and the alternative interpretation that you're favouring here could also mess up quite a few existing resolutions, if it was taken too far: There are resolutions that are actually supposed to affect the member nations' behaviour with respect to all other nations rather than just to other members, or to make member nations affect their nationals' behaviour even when those nationals are anywhere abroad. Consider what a rule that every resolution "only applies in WA nations" would do to all of the resolutions about the conduct of warfare (where it would re-legitimize matters such as the mistreatment of POWs or the use of bio-weapons by member nations, as long as their forces only performed those actions within non-members!), for example, or to 'Suppress International Piracy'...

Fair Industry Act
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: National Socialist Republic of Poland

Description: FAIR INDUSTRY ACT
NOTING that corporations are indeed a business;
RECOGNIZING that corporations, being a business, will attempt to find cost-effective ways to produce their goods;
ABHORRING the violation of human rights;
PRIORITIZING the advancement of labor rights world-wide;
The World Assembly agrees to hold member nations' corporations to the following regulations:
1. Member nations' corporations must not establish any private property of said corporations in another country without said country's consent.
1. This regulation is exempted in an occupied state.
2. When not in an occupied state, corporations must not:
i. Infringe upon the rights guaranteed to an individual by the host country's government.
ii. Violate union legislation, health care legislation, or environmental/safety standards set by the host country.
iii. Violate minimum wage laws set by the host country.
3. When in an occupied state, corporations must:
. Uphold labor rights and standards passed by their own legislation.
i. Uphold health, safety, and environmental standards set by the occupied country prior to occupation.
ii. Uphold minimum wage legislation passed by their own legislation.
iii. Minimum wage must be at least 1 SMU (Standard Monetary Unit) per hour of labor, in order to guarantee the protection of the occupied citizenry's well-being.
iv. Corporations do not have to respect union or socialized health care legislation passed by the occupied states' legislation.
4. To ensure the adherence to the aforementioned regulations:
0. A WA department, titled as the Workplace Safety Ensurance Department, will oversee the compliance of member nations to the Fair Industry Act.
1. Member nations' corporations are required to submit to inspection by the WA-WSED if they meet the criteria needed to be affected by this Act.
2. Violation of this regulation as seen by the WA-WSED will result in the corporation's removal from the host country/occupied state.

The World Assembly hereby passes this Act.

Approvals: 15 (Shirogane, Coronational Chechyans and affiliates, Noahs Second Country, Louisistan, Western Appensopia, Gotesbourg, Colandane,New Austrinthius, San Lumen, Kingsley Bedford, Avendonia, The United Michigan, The Anarchic fascist republic of an isle, Free Wasord Islands,Kashpur)
Status: Lacking Support (requires 72 more approvals)
Voting Ends: in 2 days 2 hours

Again with the 'Standard Monetary Unit: As I pointed out for another proposal recently, if this refers to a concept from the RP forums then it's a 'Meta-gaming' illegality... and if it doesn't do so then that leaves that term too undefined to be of any use.

Regarding Abortions
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Pax in terra et gloria

Description: I am greatly disturbed by abortions. At once, we must take action, and prohibit member countries to allow abortions. Abortions are murder. I propose that all member countries should frown upon abortion, and only preform it if the mother's life is in danger.

Approvals: 3 (MSState, The Anarchic fascist republic of an isle, Zasnia)
Status: Lacking Support (requires 84 more approvals)
Voting Ends: in 2 days 14 hours

Illegal for Branding ("I"), contradiction of existing legislation, and lack of an operative clause.

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

Category: Education and Creativity
Area of Effect: Artistic
Proposed by: Fretanttedon

Description: Brothers of Fretanttedon,
Fretanttedon has woken,
Bound Scipio's helmet
Upon her head.
The land of peace, the land of the sword.
Together hand in hand,
Take your stand,
Forever soldiers in freedom's band.
When anyone should attempt to besmirch your glory,
You will see your people, valiant and virile,
The rustic tool into a weapon transform.
God of Nations at Thy feet,
In the bonds of love we meet,
Hear our voices, we entreat,
God defend our free land.
For Fretanttedon, ever Fretanttedon, let our voices ring with pride
For Fretanttedon, ever Fretanttedon, her name hail far and wide,
A land of freedom, hope and glory, to endure what ever befall
May God bless Fretanttedon
Forever more

These are the words of "Gold Hymn," the national anthem of Fretanttedon. These lyrics are just a week old. But as I read dispatches of WA delegates, you have dozens of endorsements, but not a national anthem. In fact, no country has a national anthem except Fretanttedon. This is not only tragic for national pride, but what will our children think when they ask what is our national anthem and we don't have one. Let's have a law proposing that all countries are required to have a national anthem.

Approvals: 1 (The Anarchic fascist republic of an isle)
Status: Lacking Support (requires 86 more approvals)
Voting Ends: in 2 days 14 hours

Illegal for Branding (both the "I" and the quoting of their own nation's anthem), Meta-gaming (relying on dispatches as a source of data), and lack of an operative clause.

International citizen trade
A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.

Category: Free Trade
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Stewarland

Description: People need more freedom in trade, and this proposal is to get rid of the middle man in international trade among citizens, therefore I say down with the middle man. reasoning is that your country can benefit form this. Reasons
1. your people will easily be able to resources owned by other nations.
2. Your trade will increase
3. Your people will also benefit form this, so everyone is happy

Approvals: 2 (The Anarchic fascist republic of an isle, Free Wasord Islands)
Status: Lacking Support (requires 85 more approvals)
Voting Ends: in 2 days 14 hours

Illegal for Branding (in the form of "I", again) and lack of an operative clause.

Reduce Crime Rates
A resolution to tighten or relax gun control laws.

Category: Gun Control
Decision: Tighten
Proposed by: Graet California

Description: The World Assembly, in my eyes at least, was founded to benefit ever member state and make it confident that every member is secure and functional. As a new member state, that is struggling with high crime rates, I have proposed a plan that will, efficiently and hopefully, reduce crime rate in many, if not all, struggling WA state members.

This new proposal will include:

I. Stricter gun restrictions across every member state.

II. Make gun owners in member states be required to have a gun ID and permit.

III. Require gun stores and shooting ranges perform tougher and more detailed background checks for their costumers.

IV. Demand that all stadiums, other facilities (arenas), and government buildings that hold a large percentage of people, perform stronger and tougher security checkpoints at their entry level.

V. Require member states to have an emergency plan if any attacks or other emergencies occur.

Well, that was a nice Saturday. Oh dear, look at the queue. Looks like I'll need to use spoilers since this is a long post. I've placed the illegal proposals under spoiler tags to keep this tidy.

The category is an issue. This is media, which would be the press. Since this is about media rights, it would seem better suited for Education -> Free Press. Clause (VI) is concerning. The GA cannot regulate region activity.

The category seems appropriate, however, it's clearly a joke proposal. It's illegal for that reason.

One-liner; contradicts resolution #128: On Abortion and resolution #286: Reproductive Freedoms.

Branding. Wall of text branding. If you're going to do it, why not go the whole nine yards.

The strength is not justifiable in the absence of an active or mandate clause.

This starts off with clauses that clearly belong to 'Gun Control' but half way through the language shifts, focusing more on police enforcement. Between clauses IV and V, there is a transition to 'International Security'.
