General Assembly Q&A

[Mallorea and Riva]

The house of cards rule does not apply to repeals, and we have no intention of extending it to include repeals. If I understand your meaning then whatever you're planning to draft should be legal on those grounds, though feel free to flag us down to check it just to make sure.

New kid on the block. If this is in the wrong post, please forgive me.

I've got an idea for a proposal to increase economic growth by reducing unemployment. A GA Resolution whereby the maximum amount of money that the government can give an individual on unemployment benefits is less than the minimum wage in the nation. This way, people are given an incentive to seek jobs and the participation rate will increase. As they find jobs, the government will have to spend less on welfare payments and will get more money through taxation (which can be invested into other projects such as infrastructure and supporting infant industries). This will help to improve economic growth as more of the nation's labour resources are working.

I think this is an interesting policy that is worth considering, particularly given the repeal of the Living Wage Act 2008.

You're more likely to garner support and feedback about a resolution by drafting up an example and posting a thread on the matter.

Do realise that the majority of World Assembly regulars are strong national sovereigntists who do not appreciate the intrusion of the WA into national affairs.

False.

And just where do you get your data from? By far the most amount of resolutions passed freely violate the national affairs of nations, and who passes most of these resolutions? The General Assembly regulars. If you are going to give out advice, please make sure it is the correct advice, or keep it to yourself.

I was going to say something like this but I'm glad that other GA regulars already have.

Is it possible to kick some one out of there own region

[Imperium Anglorum]

Is it possible to kick some one out of there own region

No, not by WA action.

Unless they are kicked out by a founder or a delegate with executive powers, however, no.

[Happysunshinepalace]

what category would an act to raise the economy of struggling nations by stationing branches of larger corporations/industies in them to create jobs and put more money into circulation be?

Free Trade, maybe, but that sounds like the beginnings of an illegal proposal.

[Happysunshinepalace]

why is it illegal?

[Separatist Peoples]

why is it illegal?

Depends on how you write it, but there are a few potentially conflicting laws.

[Happysunshinepalace]

can you explain? sorry I'm a total noob at this

GA laws cannot duplicate or contradict each other. Your law would have to avoid existing law to be legal. While there aren't any laws doing what you suggested, there may be other laws that yours conflicts with. Until you have actual written text, though, there's no way to be sure.

[Happysunshinepalace]

would this suck?

The Industrial Donation Act progresses towards placing branches of larger corporations and industries to smaller nations with struggling economies, adding more jobs while putting more money into circulation, thus greatly boosting a nation's economy.

Stock will be able to be sold, bought, and traded, opening a world of business opportunities. The industrial branches will not be too large, hopefully not putting any constraints on political freedom, causing government corruption, or a huge stock market crash.

This act is not meant to consume, bend, or change your Nation, but to add to it, making it thrive. Action will be taken to restrict a certain branches growth if necessary.

in the case of inflation, action will not be taken until radical changes have occurred.

Mass produced items as the production of this act may be traded following the normal rules and regulations. Once a Nation's economy is thriving, we will stop making donations and going out of out way to help subject Nation, however we will leave all things given to that Nation in the progress of our aid

You need to make your own drafting thread for this sort of thing. This isn't the place to draft resolutions.

you never answered, you just quoted

Phone glitch, sorry!

You need to post drafts in their own thread. You can't draft here.

[Happysunshinepalace]

what do you mean? 'draft threads?' i was just giving you an idea

[Happysunshinepalace]

oh i get it, but is it oven ok enough to have it's own thread?

[Separatist Peoples]

oh i get it, but is it oven ok enough to have it's own thread?

So long as you have a rough draft of the proposal, it's enough.

[Bears Armed]

For the sake of legality, you'd have to word it somehow so that it could [at least in theory] apply to all of the WA's member nations.
And a resolution telling businesses where to locate their branches would not be 'Free Trade'.

So, I was reviewing GAR#9 and realized that the resolution only regulated torture by the government for the extraction of information or punishment. However, it does not deal with inhuman sapient experimentation conducted against the will of the test subject, thus I feel that a resolution governing the use of testing on sapient entities would be a good idea, however I would like to know, preferably from a mod, if it would conflict with any already passed WA regs.

Sounds like the Patient's Rights Act covers that.
