Did that just say everyone has the right to be free, unless they don't want to be... And if not to force it on them, but still give them the right to say no...

What does that even do!?

[Renewed Dissonance]

Is there a student region submitting these? Is that what's happening here?

You'd think the teacher would know better, though.

Use of the forums might be discouraged by class regions. Especially if students are under the age of 13; NationStates is not hosted in the United States, but, according to its privacy policy, seeks to comply with OPPA, CalOPPA and the like anyway. For instance, I understand that class region nations can join the WA without providing an e-mail address. So, the forum-based process of drafting/debate is either unknown or unavailable to them.

At any rate, based on my experience with university students, if students can be bothered to participate to any extent in anything at all, you're probably more than happy.

Repeal "Minimum Standard of Living Act"

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.


Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#344

Proposed by: Empire of the United Kingdom

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #344: Minimum Standard of Living Act (Category: Social Justice; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Nations should be able to decide whether they want their nation to have a standardised living arrangement. At least do a re-run of this.

Translation: "waaah. I don't like this, open voting back up!"

What's funny is that the current resolution doesn't mandate standardized living. I imagine he means minimum standards, but even that would be dishonest, since the 'opt-out' clause allow them to decide whether to comply.

Write Detailed Resolutions Act

A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.


Category: Furtherment of Democracy

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: Nuevo Sealandia

Description: When it becomes necessary for one nation to request something of other nations, the delegates from this nation should respect other nations' intellectual curiosity, as voting bodies, to know just what the resolution does. For this, obviously, a two-line rant about freedom of religion simply will not do. What does the resolution regulate? Who, specifically, does it affect? What will nations following it look like, and how will it have changed them, say, five years after the passage of said resolution?

For this reason, it is obvious that some guidelines must be imposed upon resolutions written for the review of this august Assembly. They should be written in clear, relatively error-free, and formal English, they should be sufficiently long to explain the aims of the resolution, they should include a full list of definitions clarifying of what the resolution speaks, and they should include a full list of requirements imposed upon nations following the resolution. For this reason, I believe it necessary that guidelines should be imposed upon resolutions.

Definitions:
Clear: A clear resolution does not provoke confusion among its readers. It should not include run-on sentences, sentence fragments, or txtspeak.
Error-free: Following the rules of English grammar to the furthest possible extent, given the author's exposure to the language.
Formal: Avoiding use of slang or figures of speech.
English: A Germanic language originating in Saxony. The most common language on Earth. Non-formal English includes, for the purpose of this resolution, slang and words from other languages.
Definitions: As words have different meanings for different readers (especially English words), resolutions should define any words that could possibly provoke confusion or misunderstandings. So one could use a vague word ("bad"), but would have to include a definition ("rotten or spoiled"). This definition tells readers what the word is used to signify. Excessive use of definitions (such that the resolution is written in code) should be avoided.
Sufficient Length: The resolution should avoid abbreviating its aims and/or its list of definitions, for the sake of clarity.

Requirements upon Nations
1. Nations must write their resolutions in clear, error-free, formal English.
2. The resolution must be of sufficient length.
3. The resolution must include a full list of definitions of all questionable/confusing terms.
4. The resolution must explain the requirements it will put upon nations.

This resolution strongly urges all WA members not to endorse/vote for resolutions not in accordance with these guidelines, as these resolutions may include loopholes and/or flaws in the language that allow for unintended results (in a short enough resolution, a double negative could reverse its results, for example - from gay marriage being legalized to gay marriage being banned). This resolution also hopes that faulty resolutions such as these will not be proposed in the first place, as they clutter the World Assembly floor and will not be passed.

Not sure about this one. Some of it might work as part of "Rules & Guidelines", but a semi-bloggy proposal? Not likely.

[The Candy Of Bottles]

Acknowledging that the moon has turned blood red and then disappeared,
Inferring that in order to get it back we have to give it blood,

The GA hereby declares that:
1. ALL WA states must sacrifice one(1) virgin, whose blood has to be smeared on a wheel of cheese (as we all know cheese is directly related to the moon)
2. The bloodied cheese must be placed in a pond (it is known that the moon always shows up in the pond, so placing the cheese is the reflection to be cast upon the sky, thus summoning the moon to return)
3. Failure is not tolerated. The moon must return!

OOC: This is a rare chance!

Joke proposals go here.

Even if the author didn't realise that there's a game-set maximum length for proposals, illegal because its passage would require a change to Game Mechanics?

If people passed National Economic Liberties, this would be illegal for contradiction. I, however, don't buy Bears Armed argument that imposing this GDP fiat would be a game mechanics violation.

A rough calculation puts that at 6 trillion greenbacks, or about 8 trillion bucks and 70 million cops for me. Holy mother of god.

Doesn't say they have to be payed full-time members though. Just deputize Boy Scouts and crossing guards and you'll be in full compliance.
