So, is SPAM still considered illegal?

Well, it clearly isn't written like a law, so ... it isn't legal.

Missed that sarcasm font again, didja?

Universal Health Care Act- NationCare

A resolution to modify universal standards of healthcare.

Category: Health

Area of Effect: Healthcare

Proposed by: The Nation of the People of the Nation

The General Assembly,

Appalled by the healthcare some nations are providing to their citizens the nation The Republic of The Nation of the People of the Nation would like to propose to the GA to make good quality healthcare a right of all citizens.

Recognizing that some nations might be opposed to this due to the possible high cost I propose a WA wide 2 percent increase of taxes to fund this project.

Deciding that something must be done, this is the bill we propose to improve healthcare.

Section 1: Individual Healthcare

Code 1: Everybody must get healthcare through their nation.
Code 2: The government may not give better quality healthcare for some but not for others.
Code 3: The health care provided must be of acceptable quality. See section 2 for more details.
Code 4: The nations must pay for this bill with at least a 2% tax increase and not compromise on education or other essential services.
Code 5: The nations must have at least enough hospital space for 15% of the population at any one time.

Section 2: Quality of Healthcare

Code 6: The healthcare must at least cover emergency, birth, cancer, preventive, surgical, and ambulance services.
Code 7: The WA Office of Health shall be established to ensure quality among member nations.
Code 8: The Office of Health has the authority to divert funds to healthcare if it finds the quality unacceptable.

Section 3: Fines for non-compliance

Code 9: If any member nations are being fully non compliant they will be fined a fixed 2% GDP of that country.
Code 10: This fee will contribute to the Office of Health to insure great healthcare.

Therefore The Republic of The Nation of the People of the Nation calls upon the GA to provide good healthcare to the citizens of the world.
Thank you.

Non-Racial Slave Trade Legalization

A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.

Category: Free Trade

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: New Newsomnamania

Noting that developing nations may wish to employ or allow the employment of slaves and indentured servants;

Realizing that Free trade and minimal regulation is best for any system, economically and socially;

Believing that it is morally wrong for any government to force people into anything based off of race or creed;

Further believing that non-racial slavery is beneficial to otherwise suffering and destitute vagrants, psychologically and otherwise;

Acknowledging the necessity of cheap labour over a short period of time in order to build a free society;

The World Assembly thus:

(A)Defines 'slaves' as people who work without pay, not defined by a race or creed.

(B) Bans the use of chattel slavery and abuse towards slaves

(C) Legalizes the sale of, use of, and trade of slave labor so long as
(1) work in which they are subject to physical or psychological harm is paid,
(2) slaves are provided ample food, water, and shelter,
(3) National Slave Protection Agencies are created, to avoid abuse,
(4) New slaves born are freed at the age of 25,
(5) Slaves can buy their freedom.

(C) Bans the participation of slaves in international conflicts.

(D) Bans slaves from engaging in sexual acts as a form of employment or use.

Awesome idea, except for that whole "contradicts #23" thing. Ah well, nothing's perfect.

Has a thread: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=400880

[Cogoria]

But it has already been proposed, so I believed this was where people posted proposals that appear to be illegal...

[Kaboomlandia]

Only if they don't have their own thread. If they do, post in that thread.

[Araraukar]

But it has already been proposed, so I believed this was where people posted proposals that appear to be illegal...

From the first post of this thread:

If an illegal proposal already has its own thread elsewhere in this forum, please don't post it in this thread as well. Post your comments in the proposal's existing thread; that will bump it near enough to the top to be noticed. Joke or silly proposals can be posted in its dedicated thread.

I saw you posted on the proposal's thread, though. so let's hope the author listens at some point. And also that mods did proposal list sweeps a bit more often...

[Frisbeeteria]

And also that mods did proposal list sweeps a bit more often...

We do at least twice-daily sweeps, but we're in the process of transitioning that role over to the GA Council. Consequently, only certain types of proposals get removed by mods these days. Fro the rest, we're still doing code tests, so they stay visible.

Mmm, so you are making them into mini-mods. Well, thank you for the explanation anyway. How long do you think we'll need to keep explaining to people why their proposal wasn't removed despite being illegal and them taking that as proof that we're wrong about the illegality?

[Frisbeeteria]

Mmm, so you are making them into mini-mods.

No more so than RP Mentors or Issue Editors. Each of them has something special they can do that regular users can't. The GA Council does proposal legality. I don't think they, or I, appreciate the deprecating tone of "mini-mods".

How long do you think we'll need to keep explaining to people why their proposal wasn't removed

Until [violet] changes their "Hold (advisory)" tool to "Hold (actual)".

[Araraukar]

I don't think they, or I, appreciate the deprecating tone of "mini-mods".

Well, I don't consider "mini-mod" to be an insult (any more than I would "gold-star student", despite the fact that some people may try to use that as an insult when bullying). Since "mod" stands for "moderator", and you're (going to be) giving them the "powers" to moderate GA submissions, you are making them moderators in a very small way of a tiny part of the game. If the issue editors similarly have moderating powers over their small slice of the game, then they, too, would count as "miniature mods" for issues stuff. The designation doesn't mean the real moderators didn't also have those powers, so I don't really see how it would be insulting to you either.

But none of this should be on this thread, but rather on the GA council dedicated one. I will stop with the threadjacking now and apologize to anyone who was offended by my word choice, though I hope I have demonstrated why it wasn't meant as an insult.

Repeal: “Right Of Emigration”

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.

Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#279

Proposed by: Drusselstein

General Assembly Resolution #279 “Right of Emigration” (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The "right of immigration" is strictly and truly a violation of the sovereignty of member states, who will be affected TREMENDOUSLY by this resolution. We at the National Immigration Agency condemns this resolution as it violates the sovereignty of member states. This resolution promotes immigration to basically ALL member states, who has sovereignty over their territories and thus, this resolution should be repealed as we at the NIA are heavily opposed to resolutions that violate the sovereignty of member states. This repeal proposal is submitted by the National Immigration Agency - World Assembly Relations Management Office on the 25th of January, 2017.

3. Insurance companies and banks needed to have a license that they may sell their financial products;
4. Employees in the financial sector need special certificates about the financial products;
