Ban Hippy Drug Taking
A resolution to ban, legalize, or encourage recreational drugs.
Category: Recreational Drug Use Decision: Outlaw Proposed by: Ghash
Description: I propose that the taking of marijuana in any form be banned, because:
1) It is forcing the world into economic slowdown as less and less people are willing to get off their sizeable backsides and find a job.
2) At a time when our world needs to increase its population, it is encouraging people to stay in their homes, get mashed and talk rubbish to each other instead of going out and finding a mate.
3) There are too many hippies in this world as it is. Peace is a lovely idea but let's face it, war is much more fun.

Free the Musicians!
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
Category: Human Rights Strength: Significant Proposed by: Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia
Description: Somewhere, in almost every country today there is a musician. This musician sits in a corner and crys. Why is this musician crying? I'll tell you.... It's becaused he's opressed. Everywhere he goes all he truly knows is ridicule and harrassment. He is a music lover. He enjoys participating in all musical activites, especially marching band.
Because of his interest you might imagine that others would treat him as an eclectic individual, someone that can go anywhere and be a part of many events. But alas, no this is not the case. Our young friend is called a BAND GEEK. Or MUSIC NERD. He is constantly insulted and treated like an unequal. We must stop this opression. Inside everyone of us is a band nerd. Even if the only thing you can play is the radio, you must stand up for the rights of this section of our society. Equal rights for the musicians. Through them we can truly realize the important role music plays on the enrichment of the human spirit. Don't let the music fade away. Help them become equal.
Free the Musicians!!!

The Republic of Kryozerkia
"Vendi Vidi Vici"
UN Category: Psychotic Dictatorship
Civil Rights: Rare Economy: Struggling Political Freedoms: Outlawed
Location: Ragnarok Apocalypse
The Republic of Kryozerkia is a small, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 12 million are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, the Environment, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 75%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.
Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed, billions of Kyros are being poured into a space program, all industry is owned and run by the government, and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Kryozerkia's national animal is the Blue Jay, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Kyro.
Kryozerkia is ranked 1st in the region and 1st in the world for connect error [/home/nation/tmp/ranksock]: No such file or directory.

The Kingdom of Sirocco
"Nullus Anxietas"
UN Category: Corporate Bordello
Civil Rights: Some Economy: Imploded Political Freedoms: Excellent
Location: Lancre
The Kingdom of Sirocco is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 960 million are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Healthcare and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 95%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.
College students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, religious classes are compulsory for all school students, and it is illegal to make racist remarks in public. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sirocco's national animal is the flightless hippo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the IOU.
Sirocco is ranked 1st in the region and 1,673rd in the world for Largest Soda Pop Sector.

The Grand Duchy of Erastide is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 602 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Social Equality. The average income tax rate is 100%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Book Publishing.
Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, billions of ducats are being poured into a space program, and organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare.

The Dictatorship of SalusaSecondus is a huge, devout nation, notable for its compulsory military service.

Its compassionate, cynical population of 651 million are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich.

The People's Republic of Katganistan is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate population of 1.092 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The average income tax rate is 34%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Book Publishing and Uranium Mining.
The government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, the nation's first space rocket -- sponsored by Pepsi and shaped like an enormous soda bottle -- is being developed, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes.
