The WA Strangers' Bar serves a very good 'trilobite on the half shell'...
The Confrederated Clans (and other Confrederated Bodys) of the Free Bears of Bears Armed
(includes The Ursine NorthLands) Demonym = Bear[s]; adjective = ‘Urrsish’.
Population = just under 20 million. Economy = only Thriving. Average Life expectancy = c.60 years. If the nation is classified as 'Anarchy' there still is a [strictly limited] national government... and those aren't "biker gangs", they're traditional cross-Clan 'Warrior Societies', generally respected rather than feared.

Apples to Apples, Spuds to Spuds,

In the sweat of thy face shall thou eat spuds,
Till though return unto the ground;
For out of it wast thou taken:
For spud thou art,
And unto spud shalt thou return.

The new Republic of Procovia would like to voice our support for the Right Honourable delegate of The Selaxans's proposal. Further, we move that the hero Samwise Gamgee be recognised by the international community for his contributions to potato kind.

The World Assembly, by passing joke bills, becomes a laughingstock.

The Empire believes in responsible, respectable leadership and votes AGAINST this mistake.

The Empire can take its time, regardless of its power. "Humor in the proposals" and a "proposal whose value is humor" are two different things. A country without territory in the tundra needn't note the necessity of pescatarian portions where potatoes cannot grow. Make a bill of the prominence and the greatness of the potato, but not on its supremacy.

Vote AGAINST.

Man, this is pretty stupid. We can't just make a vegetable the official food of the entire WA. That's pretty messed up. Think about it. Other nations are going to see that the WA's official food isn't even a meal, and think that everyone in the WA is stupid. We can't have this. I am against this resolution.

The Security Council is part of the World Assembly, NationStates' international organization. The General Assembly is responsible for writing laws, while the Security Council (this forum) is responsible for writing Declarations (statements of opinion, like this one saying that Potatoes are the best), Commendations (recognition of nations that did good work), Condemnations (recognition of nations that did bad things), and Liberations (which remove the passwords on regions).

If you read the Rules, you can begin writing your own proposal here on the forum, and get feedback from other players on it.
