[SUBMITTED] World Assembly Anthem Act

[Incessant coitus]

Category: Political Stability
Strength: Significant

Description:
The nations of the World Assembly (WA),

RECOGNIZING the contributions of the WA General Assembly (GA) and the Security Council (SC) to international legislation and peacekeeping,

UNDERSTANDING the need for a theme to unite WA-member nations in a common platform

REALIZING that an anthem can be a useful tool in expressing the functional and sentimental values of the WA

AND ADMITTING that a well-constructed anthem can serve as a tool to encourage more members to join the WA and help strengthen International cooperation

HEREBY
1. Establish the World Assembly Anthem (WA Anthem).
2. Mandate that it be played during voting sessions in the GA and SC.
3. Mandate that it be played during the commendation, condemnation or liberation of any nation or region by the SC.
2. Mandate that it be played during the opening of committees established by WA resolutions.
4. Encourage WA-member nations to play the anthem during international events, including those involving non-member nations.

Full text of the WA Anthem

We're the Word Assembly
We make International Laws
Join us if you want to gather
Support for your cause

We draft wordy resolutions
And vote them into laws
Or we repeal the ones we've already made
To the sound of thunderous applause

As the Security Council
We commend, condemn and liberate
Through bickering and votes, we decide
Your Nation or Region's fate

If you want power in your region,
Become a member, it's never too late
With a bit of planning and some luck
You'll be the Regional Delegate

We're the Word Assembly
We make International Laws
Join us if you want to gather
Support for your cause

Category and Strength?

I added that at the top...

I would imagine this will be pulled for a strength violation. Doesn't look "significant" to me

[Incessant coitus]

Yeah, I think I might have "oops!"-ed that while debating with myself whether it should be in "arts and education" or "political stability" or something else. I probably should have posted the first draft on the forum, but was worried it would lose its charm while waiting for opinions.

However, an official anthem for a global body is still (somewhat) significant, isn't it?

Significant? No. Bloody stupid? Yes.

You're taking the term significant as its literal meaning in the context of the act.

In the case of resolutions the strength indicators are used to affect national stats after the passage of an act. So for example a strong global disarmament proposal would greatly increase a nations pacifist stats while a mild one might only slightly as so forth. But the act has to justify its strong stat in the first place. I would have put this mild at best.

Now grays you gigantic curmudgeon play nice with the newlings we were all one once

[Grays Harbor]

Now grays you gigantic curmudgeon play nice with the newlings we were all one once

Yeah, and I also remember having some rather pointed comments for you as well when you were new. I've tried "nice". I didn't like it and it didn't get the point across.

And tell me, with a straight face, that a WA Anthem is not bloody stupid as a proposal?

[Araraukar]

Now grays you gigantic curmudgeon play nice with the newlings we were all one once

Yes, and for a newling, proposal writing is the last thing they should be doing around here. Not to mention that this would count as category violation and lacking operative clause - no money is required to be spent by the nations.

EDIT: Actually, illegal for mentioning Security Council.

I concede all points here and invite you to the bar sir. Actually I should find my first proposal and reread some of the comments. Might not hurt to remind myself of my rather shaky origins here too lol

To the author - unfortunately Grays is more often than not right here, the idea in yself doesn't hold a lot of water in my eyes either. But there's a learning experience here too. You seem willing to learn and listen and I respect that given the recent rise in stubborn stupidity I've seen recently. Just slow down, watch a bit and I think you'll possibly do ok here.

[The Seafield Islands]

This will fail. I assure you.

1) You should have key'd in "Mild" for strength.

2) And what's the tune? Where's the music? You said this is an anthem, not a poem.

3) You should've posted this in the forum and let the comments roll before submitting it. That way we can contribute to your proposal.

4) The first four stanzas are more like of a descriptive manual or guide. It teaches you what is the World Assembly, the General Assembly, and the Security Council. The last stanza is like an invitation or recruitment message.

5) This anthem or poem isn't needed anyway.

I shall give this an "AGAINST" vote if it ever reaches the voting stage, but most likely it won't.

Next.......

Actually, illegal for mentioning Security Council.

Is mentioning the SC illegal in itself? Or is it because I mentioned the voting sessions? Or something else?

_{Edited for clarifying my question...}

[Ardchoille]

Should the player choose to return with a less explicit nation name, the answers to his questions are:

Mentioning the activities of the Security Council is metagaming, because the Security Council acts on individual nations and regions, whereas the General Assembly writes laws for all nations and cannot recognise the in-game construct, Regions.

There is also the scent of a Game Mechanics violation here, with the mandate that the anthem be sung while, or prepatory to, undertaking in-game actions.

IC: Besides, in my not unbiased opinion, the anthem often associated with that shady crowd in UNOG would be better suited to the GA as a whole. It's got Patrick Stewart, it can't be all bad.

Fan-girlishly, iLock.
