Education Quota Act

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


Category: Education and Creativity

Area of Effect: Educational

Proposed by: Shearvrout

Description: Description: An attempt to raise education standards throughout the world.
Recognizing the lack of education apparent across many nations, and can affect people from achieving what they are capable of;

Concerned that youths may not be able to accomplish the service of the economy because they lack a proper education;

Creating an education quota that controls the percent of youth that graduates from primary schools, junior high schools, and colleges and universities compared to the rest of the youth population;

The General Assembly declares the following aspects:

Requiring that all nations The Education Quota Act applies to adhere to the following:
1) Requiring that certain ages must meet a certain percent of youth graduation.

a. Requiring that 35% of children between the ages of 11 and 13 graduate from primary school.

b. Requiring that 40% of children from the ages of 14-16 graduate junior high school.

c. Requiring that 48% of young adults from the ages of 17-19 graduate high school.

d. Requiring that 50% of all youths from the ages of 21-23 graduate from a college or university.

2) Recognizing that small nations will be able to afford the Education Quota Act because of a small population equivalent to their size.

3) The Education Quota Act applies to nations that are above the 30% economy cutoff. Once a nation rises above the cutoff, The Education Quota act applies to them, and as soon as it falls below the cutoff, the Education Quota Act no longer applies.

4) If a member state does not meet this requirement, they must put effort into meeting the requirements at the expense of other sources of expenditure.

Seriously? Quotas? Also, metagaming for tieing it to gameside stats. And just a bad idea anyhow.

Those are really fucking low quotas.

How can 48% of youths 17-19 graduate high school when only 35% of children 11-13 graduate primary school anyway?

That's a good question, why does the quota percentage increase with age?

And how many 15-16 year olds do you know of in junior high?

I suspect the intention is to be "percentage of those enrolled", so perhaps 35% of all children who enrol in a primary level of education graduate, then eventually 48% of those graduate High School.
But this actually makes the quotas even more defeatist, and of course, are not what the proposal actually suggests as written.

I guess so, although "suffering the consequences" leaves it very open to creative compliance.

Increase Counter-Terrorism

A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.


Category: International Security

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Union of Antartica

Description: Reaffirming its primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security,

Reaffirming that terrorism in all forms and manifestations constitutes one of the most serious threats to international peace and security and that any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable regardless of their motivations, whenever and by whomsoever committed,

Reaffirming further that terrorism cannot and should not be associated with any religion, nationality, or civilization,

Stressing that terrorism can only be defeated by a sustained and
comprehensive approach involving the active participation and collaboration of all States and international and regional organizations to impede, impair, isolate and incapacitate the terrorist threat,

Gravely concerned by the financing of, and financial and other resources obtained by terrorists, and underscoring that these resources will support their future terrorist activities,

Reaffirming the need to prevent and suppress the financing of terrorist acts,

Expressing concern that terrorists benefit from transnational organized crime
in some regions, including from the trafficking of arms, persons, drugs, and artifacts and from the illicit trade in natural resources including gold and other precious metals and stones, minerals, wildlife, charcoal and oil, as well as from kidnapping for ransom and other crimes including extortion and bank robbery,

Stressing that the development and maintenance of fair and effective criminal justice systems should be a fundamental basis of any strategy to counter terrorism and transnational organized crime,

Hoping for increased concentration on counter-terrorism and fighting against organized crime.

Hereby declares for further funding of counter-terrorism to provide a safer future.

Duplicates #25, and really does nothing.

To Prevent Raiding

A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.


Category: International Security


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: Franziland

Description: Recognizing that raiding is a thoroughly horrible and barbaric practice, PROVEN by the recent passage of Condemn DEN,

Seeing that while condemning points out the terrible and mean nations and regions of NationStates, actually does nothing to stop problems such as raiding,

Observing that not many regions currently are taking concrete steps to prevent their region and other regions from being raided,

Hereby Proposes the following bill:

Section I: All regions affiliated with the WA shall, effective immediately, keep their WA Delegate power separated from all of the other 'Presidential' powers, such as Appearance, Border Control, Executive, and so on. This will prevent raiders from taking over the region in the event of a raid.

Section II: All WA affiliated regions with 10-20 nations shall have a standing army of at least 5 nations to prevent raids. WA Regions with 20-40 nations must have a standing army of at least 10 nations, and WA regions with 50+ nations must have a standing army of at least 20 nations.

Metagaming and/or Game Mechanics. I can never tell the difference.

If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. | Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’

To Prevent Raiding

A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.


Category: International Security


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: Franziland

Description: Recognizing that raiding is a thoroughly horrible and barbaric practice, PROVEN by the recent passage of Condemn DEN,

Seeing that while condemning points out the terrible and mean nations and regions of NationStates, actually does nothing to stop problems such as raiding,

Observing that not many regions currently are taking concrete steps to prevent their region and other regions from being raided,

Hereby Proposes the following bill:

Section I: All regions affiliated with the WA shall, effective immediately, keep their WA Delegate power separated from all of the other 'Presidential' powers, such as Appearance, Border Control, Executive, and so on. This will prevent raiders from taking over the region in the event of a raid.

Section II: All WA affiliated regions with 10-20 nations shall have a standing army of at least 5 nations to prevent raids. WA Regions with 20-40 nations must have a standing army of at least 10 nations, and WA regions with 50+ nations must have a standing army of at least 20 nations.

Metagaming and/or Game Mechanics. I can never tell the difference.

That would be metagaming in regions with a founder because it forces a nation to do something (besides changing "laws").
It would be game mechanics in regions without a founder because, in that case, it's impossible to separate the WA delegate from the other powers without a change in game mechanics.

Class Size Reduction Act

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


Category: Education and Creativity

Area of Effect: Educational

Proposed by: AbshirSaidFederal

Description: This is a Act to lower the class size to 12 per class in k-5 and 15 for 6-12.

Recognize that teachers can't attend to classes of 20 or more kids with different learning styles and personalities,this will give students more 1 on 1 time with teachers and help them understand complex problems.

Bigger class sizes tend to lead to more distractions and less 1 on 1 time with the teacher.

This will give kids with special needs the time they need to learn problems.

The General Assembly herby:

1.Lower class sizes to to 12 students in classes k-5.

2.Lower class sizes to 15 students in classes 6-12.

Arbitrary and egregious micromanagement.
Everything you know about me is wrong. Or a rumor. Something like that.
