[DRAFT] On the Global Trade Fair

Postby Concrete Slab » Fri Apr 01, 2022 7:58 am

Thought this would be fun! All numbers and the declared winner is subject to change. If there's a big twist after this was written, that will be included in an update.
The Security Council,

Acknowledging the fantastical and incredible occurrences that happen every day around the multiverse,

Realizing, however, that every year during the advent of April, the nations of the multiverse are provided new means with which to compete and assert their dominance; some examples of which being the creation of government-owned art collections established in Security Council Resolution #287, the ability for nations to directly challenge each other based on their World Census rankings, and a multiverse-wide trivia challenge pitting the minds of the best nations against each other in intellectual combat,

Observing that, this year, twelve unique goods surged in value, escalating tensions among nations and regions and requiring a quick solution, these twelve goods consisting of:

    1.) Sticky Labels, helping to make the packaging of goods more efficient,

    2.) Shipping Containers, because everyone loves the possibility of an empty cargo hold

    3.) Patriotic Flags, causing raucous celebrations in nations across the multiverse,

    4.) Gold Bullion, quickly becoming the only currency the multiverse could rely upon,

    5.) Coffee Beans, as the officials of nations cannot operate without caffeine,

    6.) Inspector Uniforms, allowing nations to feel official as they violated the sovereignty of other states,

    7.) Humanitarian Potatoes, leftovers from the most recent N-Day and the most valued foodstuff in the multiverse,

    8.) Kittens, no explanation needed,

    9.) Tractor Parts, required to produce Humanitarian Potatoes,

    10.) Electronics, necessary to facilitate the everyday lifestyle of many nations,

    11.) Gas Centrifuges, which looked remarkably similar to Tractor Parts,

    12.) and Uranium, which could provide nations with limitless energy or dangerous weapons,

Confirming that, in order to diffuse these tensions, the first Global Trade Fair was organized,

Recognizing the primary goal of the Global Trade Fair was to accumulate as many of the twelve good listed above as possible and stash them in the region within which each nation resides,

Believing, at first glance, this goal to be simple enough,

Realizing, however, the number of these goods in circulation was limited, with nations only being provided a small amount of resources upon their entry into the Global Trade Fair,

Slightly shocked that, to solve this pertinent issue, nations conducted “inspections” upon their neighbors (hence the need for inspector uniforms), taking any goods they were able to find,

Amused that, during many of these inspections, the inspectors were distracted by adorable kittens and patriotic celebrations, causing endless frustration,

Assuring the Security Council that no kittens were harmed during the course of this event,

Astonished that, over the course of the event, over 100,000 goods were stashed in over 1000 regions across the multiverse,

Congratulating the region of Suspicious for their clear triumph in the Global Trade Fair, collecting more of each good than any other region in the multiverse,

Hoping that every nation had an enjoyable time during the Global Trade Fair and were able to join together to contribute to regional goals and unity,

Excited to see what else the multiverse has in store for its inhabitants as they continue their journey through existence,

Declaring the Global Trade Fair to be a huge success, avoiding a potential extinction level conflict by replacing it with two days of merriment and mischief.

I could have called dibs earlier I was just actually writing the proposal :(((((. I didn't know you could bar off an entire subject matter without actually having content yet.

Also under Rule 1c, the duplication rule isn't currently applied to Declarations. I didn't plagiarize either, as I wrote the whole proposal without being aware that your proposal existed, which is also just a filler for future text and not the actual content.

While the Global Trade Fair is a new event, I don't really see it needing a declaration unless it becomes well-established like Z-Day.

Unless this event becomes an annual thing, it's probably best left as a fun April Fool's event that doesn't need a resolution memorializing it.

If I’m not too late to the comment party…

…then I’ll say that I do not approve of any declarations/proposals on annual NS events. It pushes aside good topics such as biotechnology and etc. Sorry pal :blink:

Well…maybe not in the SC, more likely so in the GA. ;)
But point is, it is unnecessary to make declarations or GA proposals on events such as N-Day or the Global Trade Fair.

Maybe stop making everything about biotechnology. You also can't make GA proposals about NS events, that's what declarations are for.

That is entirely moot. If you want to talk about the trade fair mechanics, maybe start a new thread somewhere else. However, I doubt anyone would really care since the event has been over two weeks ago.
