Implementation of a Flat Tax
A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.
Category: Free Trade
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Apsel
Description: Whereas a true flat rate tax is where one tax rate is applied to all income, both individual and corporate, with no exceptions;
Whereas under a system of flat taxation the cost of tax filing for citizens and the cost of tax administration for the government would be further reduced, as only businesses and the self-employed would need to interact with government tax authorities;
Whereas the World Assembly believes a Flat Tax of 10% should be applied to individuals;
Whereas the World Assembly believes a Flat Tax of 18% should be applied to industry;
Whereas the World Assembly exempts those individuals considered low-wage earners from any element of taxation;
Whereas the World Assembly exempts start-up businesses (small, medium and large) as well as newly graduated individuals and those joining the workforce for the first time of having to pay any tax for a period of 5 years;
Whereas at the conclusion of the five year period, qualifying exempted businesses and individuals would be required to pay the standard individual and corporate flat tax rates;
Be it resolved that the World Assembly does hereby enact that all member states be required to have a flat tax of 10% for individuals and 18% for industry under the parameters listed above.

Since when does a tranquilizer dart cause "death, permanent illness, or injury?"Repeal "Biological Weapons Conference"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation
Category: Repeal
Resolution: GA#65
Proposed by: Ghanara
Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #65: Biological Weapons Conference (Category: Global Disarmament; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Argument: While the World Assembly applauds the intent of Resolution #65, "Biological Weapons Conference," it shall be struck from international law for the following reasons:
1. "Biological Weapons Conference" illegalizes certain forms of warfare and acts of espionage, including many that were not massively destructive, that were formerly common practice. For example, non-lethal tranquilizer darts are no longer allowed to be used against humans in times of conflict. In cases such as these, non-lethal toxins could have been a better alternative to conventional weapons.
2. The illegalization of such a broad range of weapons harms economy and industry, on both a local and international scale. The production of biological weapons provides jobs for hundreds of thousands of citizens, as well as stimulation of the economy by putting more products on the marketplace.
3. This legislation puts WA member nations at a military disadvantage when dealing with non-member nations. A WA member nation must be allowed to have the same military capabilities as its potential enemies.

Category: Education and Creativity
Area of Effect: Educational
Proposed by: Michosplak

1c)Serve as bases for colonization programs described in section 2
2)Explore space to find any habitable star systems

World Assembly Currency Bill
A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.
Category: Free Trade
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Hassak
Description: ACKNOWLEDGING that nations have the right to create and maintain their own national currencies as a means of controlling their own economy.
BELIEVING that basing the world economy on the economic climate of the most prosperous nations creates an unfair advantage to these countries in transactions with others and a monopoly on international transactions counter-productive to international trade.
PROPOSING that this assembly create its own "reserve currency" based on the average currency values of its constituent member states and backed by the reputation of this assembly. This allows nations to negotiate purely on their resources and business finesse, rather then their historical importance.
Environmental Protection Act

Category: Environmental
Industry Affected: All Businesses
Proposed by: Jurmunder
Description: I. This act defines that every human being that is a citizen residing in a nation has a right to clean air, pure water, and the beauty of natural areas laid out within the nation.
II. Why
1) This helps provide an adequate and happy area to live in.
2) This also provides more areas to get fresh water and natural food in case of a dramatic emergency such as droughts or war.
3) This also can allow the local government to set up wildlife preserves for endangered species and other protected animals, and to setup national parks to generate income and to keep the natural beauty of the nation to keep national prestige.
4) This could also be a valuable action to reduce the amount of environmental riots in the nation.
III. Standards

2) The nations freshwater supply will be protected from industry pollution, any industry found polluting without permission will be fined or shut down and the same will go with the air quality.
IV. Final Noting
1) Nations are encouraged to bring polluters and polluting insustries to justic if the are affecting the citizens rights to clean air, water, and the beitu of natural environments.

Repeal "Restrictions on Child Labor"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation
Category: Repeal
Resolution: GA#4
Proposed by: GBeckastania
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: NOTING the intentions of the resolution “Restrictions on Child Labor”
UNDERSTANDING the moral reasons for said resolution
REALIZING major loopholes and unclear sections
The World Assembly hereby repeals “Restrictions of Child Labor” because of:
1. The definition of “Minor” as stated in the resolution is “a person below the legal age of majority as defined by their nation.” This makes the resolution entirely ineffective, seeing as the age of majority could be defined by each individual nation, allowing for nations to still have young children work in dangerous situations.
2. The word “dangerous is used repeatedly and yet left undefined. This therefore leaves it up to interpretation as to what job is considered “dangerous,” therefore making the resolution ineffective.
3. Section B-4 states “work which involves the manual transport or handling of heavy loads.” This would therefore not allow minors to work on farms with their parents, which would damage any nation which has an agriculture based economy.

Freedom From Scarcity Act
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
Category: Human Rights
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: The Terran Technate
Description: RECOGNIZING: That the vast majority of the World Assembly Member Nations have a system of commerce and economics in which an established currency is used to weight the value of goods, and is a system of economics based upon real or artificial scarcity.
RECOGNIZING: That many nations have the capability to produce at a post-scarcity level, being able to provide for all citizens of a nation in abundance.
STATING: That when a nation is able to produce in abundance and ties themselves down with artificial scarcity, the nation's economy is ripe for collapse, leaving the people unable to purchase items.
CLARIFYING: That this is not an attack on capitalism.
DECLARING: That all nations should be able to be liberated from the economic failure due to overproduction.
HEREBY establishes the Freedom from Price Act:

iii) Stating that a Priceless System distributes items fairly and equitably based upon this energy unit, called the "energy credit".
iv) Defining the 1 x 10^1 J as being one "energy credit".
v) Stating that in the Priceless System, all necessities of life are produced and manufactured by machine labor.
vi) Clarifying that the Priceless System is only implimentable in nations which have the capability to fully automate all production.
vii) Stating that all citizens of a nation will be distributed the necessities of life based upon an energy credit allotment, which allows them to purchase as they see fit.
viii) Clarifying that all citizens will recieve anywhere from 2x-3x the energy credits what is necessary to live, so as to provide for entertainment and satisfaction.
ARTICLE II: Implimentation
i) Identifying a situation that is ready for a Priceless System is a nation that it is in a poor economic situation due to artificial scarcity in a capitalist society.
ii) Clarifying that a nation must be willing to undergo this process.

iv) Clarifying that a nation may have the return of it's means of production at any time.
v) Ensuring that the World Assembly may not take any product of the means of production that are siezed.
ARTICLE III: The Council of the Freedom From Scarcity Act
