New WA Categories [Admins Preferably]
Posted: Sun Sep 04, 2011 12:53 pm
I'm fairly certain this has been done before, but I'm dying to see it implemented:
Proposal: Creation of two new WA categories: "Medicine and Healthcare" as well as "International Standards".
Details:
World Health: As of now, Healthcare proposals normally go under Human Rights or Social Justice, (increasing humans rights, or decreasing national economies respectively), while leaving Healthcare spending untouched. If a nation spends nothing on healthcare, and QiHS passes, they're still spending nothing on healthcare, which I personally see as making no sense. This would be much more convenient to authors drafting proposals in the field of healthcare, as it would manifest their intent into actions as opposed to them having express intent, but have no effect on individual member states.
Current Resolutions that would fall under this category:
GAR#31 World Health Authority
GAR#41 Access to Lifesaving Drugs
GAR#49 Stem Cells for Greater Health
GAR#53 Epidemic Response Act
GAR#54 Dignified End of Life Choices
GAR#97 Quality in Health Services
GAR#103 International Drug Education
GAR#124 Essential Medication Act
GAR#128 On Abortion
GAR#141 Institutional Psychiatry Act
GAR#143 Permit Male Circumcision
Also:
Current Flaws:
Environmental Protection/All Businesses:
As of now, if an environmental resolution doesn't affect Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, or Wood-chipping, than it must be placed in the "All Businesses" AoE. If a resolution is drafted about Toxic Emissions, it would be wholly unnecessary to have it affect any of the current AoEs. Proposing such a resolution would require it be placed under "All Businesses', and therefore, would severely impair a nation's economy, despite its relatively mild nature. Several new categories should be added, as stated by:
Examples of resolutions being placed under "All Businesses", despite their mild effects on economies:
GAR#63 --- This enacts unnecessary ramifications on economies, despite its mild natures
GAR#98 --- This would only affect the oil industry
GAR#95 --- This would only affect the oil industry
It's become quite evident that the AoEs in this category need a revamp, considering that no resolution has ever been passed under any category besides "All Businesses", despite the fact that no resolution to date affects All Businesses.
Social Justice:
The category itself is not at fault - rather some legislation that is submitted under this category is not intended to harm the economy. This is a result of authors being forced to "shoehorn" proposals into categories that they don't necessarily correlate with, and as a result, having their proposals have unintended effects on the technical aspects of individual nations. Some of these resolutions include:
GAR#31
GAR#44
GAR#49
GAR#50
GAR#64
GAR#97
Your thoughts? Questions? Criticism?
Yours in eagerness,

Glen-Rhodes wrote:A comprehensive General Assembly reform proposal should be written, so that Max Barry and the game coders have a clear picture of what the General Assembly looks like today and how the game can be rewritten to facilitate better gameplay. That might fare better than these single category suggestions that crop up every now and then.
