World Citrus Month

A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.


Category: Free Trade


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: Citranum

Description: Understanding that there are many places in the world which do not have adequate access to the Citrus market.

Understanding that Citrus can only grow in certain areas of the world.

Asserting that Citrus products are invaluable as nutritional resources and high content of Vitamin C.

Providing help to solving world hunger and malnutrition.

The World Assembly hereby:

1) Declares the month of February to be World Citrus month
2) Provides for free trade of all Citrus products during that month
3) Aids in advertising for Citrus products around the world during that month
4) Provides Citrus products at all World Assembly meetings and occasions during that month
5) Charters the World Citrus Bank to aid in ending hunger and malnutrition
6) Seeks peace treaties among all Citrus producing nations
7) Charters the Citrus Science Reserve to aid in research of Citrus crops

Approvals: 0

Status: Lacking Support (requires 75 more approvals)

Voting Ends: in 2 days 23 hours

Really. World Citrus Month.

I'd nominate this for Bloody Stupid, but in case that's not enough:

The World Assembly hereby:...
6) Seeks peace treaties among all Citrus producing nations

This looks like organized WA involvement in conflict in contravention of Rights and Duties. The WA (as a whole) cannot "seek peace treaties" since it cannot go to war in the first place.

Edit: It's got its own thread now.

I suspect it's someone much like myself, who came on to the site and thought, "wow, this seems like a novel idea" didn't realise a: how seriously the WA takes itself, and b: How seriously it takes its legislation, and of course c: what it was and wasnt capable of.

I agree, I telegramed him about it and he asked me how to get it taken down. Hopefully he does so soon enough to avoid any strikes.

Repeal "Animal Protection Act "
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.

Category: Repeal | Resolution: GA#228 | Proposed by: Skeldistan

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #228: Animal Protection Act (Category: Moral Decency; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Skeldistan feels that this resolution is unnecessarily restrictive on free trade, and while the intentions are noble, the application runs over national sovereignty in a substantial manner.

Branding and solely NatSov argument.

Category: Repeal | Resolution: GA#228 | Proposed by: Amaresque

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #228: Animal Protection Act (Category: Moral Decency; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Let every country and nation decide for themself. The Animal Rights Protection Act does not warrant attention from the World Assembly.

NatSov only argument.

Universal Theatre Act

A resolution to promote funding and the development of education and the arts.





Category: Education and Creativity


Area of Effect: Artistic


Proposed by: Guslantis




Description: The young people of all World Assembly nations need a way to express themselves in a activity. My resolution is to require at least one community theatre in every city of the nation. A theatre is defined by this act as a building that is not shared by any other service with a stage and seats.

I'm not sure what to call this. I guess if bloody stupid applies to anything, it would certainly apply to this.

Trading Protection Act

A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.





Category: Free Trade


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Macworld




Description: Saving your life for trading and to save your economy so you are safe during trading with other nations,

Finding ways to trade in secret between all nations, regions, and members of the world assembly,

The General Assembly,

1. Declares that all nations can have hidden trading with other nations can be hosted in the World Assembly but with guards and your face and voice are hidden from the other nation trading with you;

2. Mandates that the World Assembly Trade Commission can provide hidden stuff before your fade with the nation you are doing so no one can find your real id at all;

3. Requires that all member nations must use these items to hide yourself from being exposed to your other nation fading with you;

4. Further requires that, during these trades you can always be safe from harms ways at all cost with no one knowing about your leader trading with you;

5. Notes that state from this agreement that we can all be safe during trades and never be found ever again so yay or nay on this proposal and we can be safe, happy, and sound durning your trade with other nations.

WTF?? Not quite sure what this does.

Repeal "Forced Marriages Ban Act"

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.





Category: Repeal


Resolution: GA#160


Proposed by: Guslantis




Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #160: Forced Marriages Ban Act (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The ban of forced marriages is wrong. The legal parents/guardians of the two being joined should decide whether their children or them shall choose their partner, not the World Assembly. This act goes against personal freedom, which is why I chose to repeal it.

That "Move Ivil Rights" is condemnation worthy for the sake of the human race, and fortunately breaks in metagaming. Remove it.

V. Bestiality
VI. Violent Sexual Assault
VII. Voyeurism

“Sex Offender” (also sexual offender, sex abuser or sexual abuser) is a person who has committed a sex crime.

“Sexual Contact” means any direct or indirect touching, fondling or manipulating of any part of the genitals, or any part of the body or by any object or causing a person to engage in such contact.

“Convict” means a person found guilty of a criminal offense and serving a sentence of imprisonment.
Mandates:

Parolees and probationers shall provide all of the following information to the public by entering all of the following information into the sex offender profile and notification database:

1. The offender's identifying information.
2. A risk assessment of the offender.
3. The offender's date of release from confinement or, if the offender is sentenced to probation without jail time, the date the sentence is imposed.

This mandate does not prohibit law enforcement officers from giving a community notice of any circumstances or persons that pose a danger to the community under circumstances that are not provided for under this section.

After finding place of residence, all members of the neighborhood or any other homes occupied by other persons within a 2 mile radius must be informed that the said offender is presently living in the community

Offenders also cannot have contact with magazines, videos, telephone sites or anything else with pornographic content.

Offenders must allow their community corrections officers to inspect every part of their homes.

Offenders may not own, use or possess firearms or ammunition.

Offenders cannot patronize any establishment in the sex industry, including topless dancing clubs, sex toy outlets or houses of prostitution

3. Sports functions promoting the athletics of underage minors

Not quite sure how this is an international issue, not micromanagement, and fits in the "social justice" category.
