[Ryouese Black Islands]

"Removal of Space Weapons" will not get anywhere with the FT Nations.

RL references

Where?

I think where it mentions Earth and defines space in accordance with a boundary between Earth and space.

[Flibbleites]

Where?

I think where it mentions Earth and defines space in accordance with a boundary between Earth and space.

In my mind, that's about as pedantic as saying a "$" is a RL reference.

Repeal "Extradition Rights"

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation


Category: Repeal


Resolution: GA#147


Proposed by: Fuent

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #147: Extradition Rights (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The General Assembly,

Believing that this is an important resolution to improve the welfare of those in NationStates,

Realizing, however, this resolution is not detailed in a way that a high-school English teacher will give a good grade to,

Stating, for example, that the author failed to give the definition of extradition, which is the official process whereby one nation or state surrenders a suspected or convicted criminal to another nation or state.

States, as well, that the author also did not give the definition of torture, which is an act of intentionally inflicting pain, severe discomfort or suffering on a person for the purposes of intimidation, coercion, personal punishment or interrogation, or to extract information, confession or concession to demands from them or any other person, where committed with the approval or assistance of a government official or person acting in such capacity.

Having Further noted that the resolution did not explain how member nations would facilitate the extradition of suspected criminals,

Hereby repeals the resolution for Extradition Rights, in hopes that another resolution of this nature will be proposed with more detail.

Approvals: 0

Status: Lacking Support (requires 81 more approvals)

Voting Ends: in 2 days 23 hours

We need a dictionary now for all resolutions? And the point is that extradition is limited, not how it is facilitated. And "high school English teacher" might smack of a RL reference ...

[Bears Armed]

I think where it mentions Earth and defines space in accordance with a boundary between Earth and space.

In my mind, that's about as pedantic as saying a "$" is a RL reference.

Well, if "$" isn't a RL reference then what -- if anything -- does it mean when used in GA proposals?

[Darenjo]

I've seen the $ symbol used as the symbol for the International Standard Dollar.

[Bears Armed]

I've seen the $ symbol used as the symbol for the International Standard Dollar.

Okay, but I've seen proposals that actually mentioned the 'International Standard Dollar' by name deleted as illegal for Meta-gaming because of that detail...

Establishing Limits

A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.


Category: Environmental


Industry Affected: All Businesses


Proposed by: Jesseryder

Description: NOTING that our Environment is sacred to every nation

ACKNOWLEDGING that the Economy may be slightly affected by the passing of this legislation

RECOGNIZING that the Environment must be placed in higher priority than any nation's economy

This Bill will propose to restrict the clearing of forests and minimise effects of Global Warming by


- All nations must impose a Carbon Tax, or any other Free market based system, designated in reducing Carbon emissions
- All nations are recommended to stop or minimise clearing of rainforests and diversify their industries, e.g. Information Systems, instead of Uranium Mining, so that forests are protected
- Pollution must be cleared
- Nations will agree to a 10% or greater cut in Carbon Emission Levels



STATING that all nations whom do not comply with these requests will be in danger of sanctions, or economic grief through embargoes.

Approvals: 0

Status: Lacking Support (requires 81 more approvals)

Voting Ends: in 2 days 23 hours

Exceedingly vague, and the last sentence requires embargoes or sanctions - is the "in danger of" enough to skirt away from metagaming violations, or is it not?

Finally: "Free market based system" or carbon tax implies an ideological ban. Either that, or the "carbon tax" is an attempt to change your tax system.

Apart from being a piece of garbage. I request the re-formation of the

Approvals: 2 (IIIIIDaoistsIIIII, Kronenstadt)

Status: Lacking Support (requires 79 more approvals)

Voting Ends: in 3 days 2 hours

Bloggy; what is a "felon"; poor definition of what "high capacity magazine" is, and apparently with everything listed (which makes it dubious if it is in the gun control category) having your own tank is a very good idea. Not necessarily illegal, but definitely a dreck.

They also don't know their proper Roman numerals.

I'm so glad this wouldn't stop me from owning a bear's arms.

Category: Recreational Drug Use
Decision: Outlaw
Proposed by: Nautican

Description: DEFINING drug/alcohol abuse as:
1. Intentional overuse of prescription medication to alter one's mood or state of being.
2. Using enough alcohol to reach a state of inebriation.
3. The use of illegal drugs.

HEREBY:

REQUIRES such nations to ban the use of alcohol and illegal drugs.

Well, this is a right dogs dinner of a proposal.
