World Oceans
A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.

Category: Environmental
Industry Affected: All Businesses
Proposed by: Kurman

Description: Oceans are the lifeblood of our planet and humankind.
They produce more than half of the oxygen in the atmosphere, and absorb the most carbon from it.

No matter how far from the shore a nation is, oceans still affect their citizens families, friends and enemies.

So to protect this vital part of the planet, this resolution:

Recommends that any mining/drill activity (oil, ore...) which is established at a distance of 400 kilometers (international waters) of any nation is not permitted. Any activity within limit of 400 kilometers is allowed.

Considers the fishing of species that have been recognized by the national government or region as endangered, is an act of disrespect and violation to such national laws and to this resolution.

Reaffirming that the seabed and ocean floor and subsoil thereof, beyond the limits of national jurisdiction, don't have a claim of any nation and are part of all humankind.

Concludes with the formation of an International Ocean Convention (IOC) which will evaluate the progress made with the effect of this resolution five years later.

Wishes that all nations and regions respect one of the most key parts of our planet and there is not an abuse of the resources displayed.

This resolution is not just for this generation benefits, but also for the future.

Committee only, does nothing. NS =/= Earth

Also, tries to contradict 'Law of the Seas' and [partially] duplicate 'Sustainable Fishing Act'.
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.

Nuclear arms limitation

A resolution to slash worldwide military spending.


Category: Global Disarmament

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Avunculus Meus

Description: The primary duty of the WA is to prevent global catastrophes, whether they be man made or natural.

OBSERVING that the destructive potential of Nuclear warfare extends beyond the highly destructive explosions, radioactive fallout and the high altitude EMP wave and that the most devastating consequence of nuclear warfare is the potential to cause a nuclear winter

HIGHLY DISTURBED that a nuclear winter could potentially be caused by less than 1000 nuclear detonations, and that some nations could have a large enough arsenal to cause this on their own

UNDERSTANDING that a WA nation would only launch a nuclear weapon in retaliation, and also understanding that satellite missile detection systems can falsely report a nuclear missile strike when none have launched, meaning that rockets such as weather satellites could be mistaken for a nuclear missile and thus act accordingly

ACKNOWLEDGING the need for a deterrent against non-WA nations, and that Nuclear weapons are a key part of many nations defensive systems

ATTEMPTING to reduce the chances of a nuclear winter being caused either deliberately or by accident

DEFINING nuclear winter as a large enough amount of smoke and dust caused by the fires from an explosion to enter the atmosphere and block over 10% of the sun’s rays worldwide

DEFINING Nuclear weapon as a bomb or missile that creates an explosion through the use of nuclear energy

NOTING that non-nuclear weapons could cause a nuclear winter, but realising that nuclear weapons are more proliferate and usually cause much larger explosions.

HEREBY

PROPOSING that:
1) A maximum limit of 100 megaton's of nuclear arsenal- i.e. one hundred 1 megaton weapons, four 25 megaton weapons or one 100 megaton nuclear weapon

2) Surplus nuclear arsenal be disarmed by WA teams

3) Nations must agree to allow WA investigators into their nation at any time for random inspections to observe that their nuclear arsenal has not increased beyond the limit specified in point 1.

4) Any nation with larger stock of weapons will be fined 1% of the national GDP for each megaton beyond the limit specified for each megaton the limit is exceeded by.

Contradicts NAPA, the limitations appear to have been pulled straight out of the rectum, and the fines clause is ridiculous as well as probably meta-gaming.

Also, and I may be wrong here his metrics seem to be using the earth as the basis for this resolution. Highlights the "Sun" and how x detonations would effect it here.

Why is it that people seem to love to contradict NAPA?

Increase Economic Production

A resolution to develop industry around the world.


Category: Advancement of Industry

Area of Effect: Labor Deregulation

Proposed by: The Commonwealth Of New States

Description: The goal of this is to bring about the situation of struggling economy's in the World Assembly

START with investment in foreign business of other members to not only help create jobs but stabilize the imbalance of economic power

TRADE with nations outside of the World Assembly. Our isolationism will only bring harm to our economy's strength. The IEP has the ability to not only open trade barriers but ease tensions with nations that we believe may be harmful, but are struggling just like us. With the repealing of illegal uranium mining nations can increase productivity with one another. The final point to trade increasing is the building of ships and planes which brings more jobs into industry

TRAVEL businesses need more support or this trade and industry advancement will fail. This is the backbone to trade yet is underfunded

ENVIRONMENT needs to be watched another goal of The IEP bill is to avoid the destruction of environments because without these environments we do not have the resources need to continue our production

FINALLY prevent monopolization of nations. The last input for this bill is to avoid other nations have a economic hold on smaller nations thus forcing them to vote for their proposals

I hope you have learned from this proposal and that your economies grow to help you, your people , and your allies.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY PROPOSAL
ID: the_union_of_pacifica_1459475664

Restriction Act

A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.


Category: Environmental

Industry Affected: Manufacturing

Proposed by: The Union of Pacifica

Description: I propose that all oil-using nations are taxed if said oil is exported to others. The tax, amount to be determined, will effect only the producer nation, not receivers. The logistics of such a act should be decided by the assembly, not me. My personal recommendation is that the taxes, at 10%, go to the WA to distribute to nations not effected by such tax, as long as they have a fragile economy or worse to provide support.

Approvals: 0

Status: Lacking Support (requires 112 more approvals)

How exactly does this contradict NAPA? It still allows nations to possess nuclear weapons. Here's a better question to be asked. Have you ever actually read NAPA?

I would argue NAPA prevents further restrictions on a WA nation's stockpiles numbers. NAPA allows us to posses weapons if we want, and that we decide how many we want.

This resolution restricts our stockpiles to a max total yield of 100 megatons.

Not it doesn't. NAPA only does the following:

1. DECLARES that WA members are allowed to possess nuclear weapons to defend themselves from hostile nations,

2. PRESERVES the right for individual nations to decide if they want to possess nuclear weapons,

3. REQUIRES that any nation choosing to possess nuclear weapons take every available precaution to ensure that their weapons do not fall into the wrong hands.

It allows you to possess nuclear weapons, use nuclear weapons in defense, and says you have to keep them out of the wrong hands. Bob even claimed that legislation could reduce the number down a single warhead and it still would not violate NAPA. Hell I even tried to limit stockpiles once, but it was shot down at vote.

So once again...... How does this violate NAPA?

Stricter Border Control

A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.


Category: International Security

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Heaveria

Description: Description: We must tighten control along borders with guns.

Reason: Along many borders are much military with brutal weapons (i.e guns.) As there have been shootings at immigrants attempting to cross the border, but still, most people successfully cross the border. In order to keep tighter control of border we must mandate that 85% of all authorities or border personal must have a weapon at all times.

Hereby;

I. Mandates that nations must contribute more (or nothing if requirement is already met) to their Defense till 8% of defense is acquired

II. Mandates that nations must also contribute more (or nothing if requirement is already met) to their Law & Order till 10% of Law & Order is acquired.

Just putting it here. Make up your own damn reason for legal or illegal. I have reached my limit of fraks to give.

Reinstate Living Wage Act

A resolution to reduce income inequality and increase basic welfare.


Category: Social Justice

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Heaveria

Description: We must reinstate the Living Wage Act!

Exact copy of General Assembly Resolution #21:

AWARE that some workers are paid so little that they can barely afford to eat;

CONSIDERING this situation little better than slavery;

DESIRING that all people should be allowed to do more than merely surviving in exchange for full-time work;

DEFINES the Basic Poverty Line as the cost of enough food and drink to keep a person healthy for a week, plus one week's rent for an average one-person dwelling, plus the cost of an average weekly commute between home and work, plus the pro-rata weekly cost of those utilities deemed appropriate, less any income or benefits provided to all workers by the nation;

DEFINES the Dependent Poverty Line as the Basic Poverty Line, substituting an average two-person dwelling for an average one-person dwelling, plus the cost of enough food and drink to keep a dependent healthy for a week, plus the pro-rata weekly cost of schooling for a dependent, less any additional income or benefits provided to all workers with dependents by the nation;

REQUIRES that power and water supply be deemed appropriate utilities;

SUGGESTS an allowance be made for primary medical care where it is not free at the point of access;

NOTES that the Poverty Lines are defined on an area basis, and sets no limits as to how any nation may define such areas save that they must lie wholly within the nation's boundaries;

REQUIRES that the Poverty Lines be re-evaluated on at least an annual basis;

CONSIDERS a person working on average 30 hours or more per week to be in full-time employment, counting paid holiday as time worked;

REQUIRES that no person in full-time employment be paid the equivalent of a weekly net wage of less than 25% over the Basic Poverty Line;

REQUIRES further that no person in full-time employment be paid the equivalent of a weekly net wage of less than 25% over the Dependent Povery Line unless that person has no dependents and explicitly waives this right;

CONSIDERS a person working on average between 10 and 30 hours per week to be in part-time employment, counting paid holiday as time worked;

REQUIRES that a person in part-time employment be subject to the same minimum weekly net wage regulations as a person in full-time employment, with the relevant wage levels pro-rated to the proportion of 30 hours per week worked.

EXEMPTS from this requirement workers in the voluntary sector, who donate their time as they choose;

EXEMPTS also from this requirement convicted criminals who are required to perform work in the course of their sentence;

CONSIDERS a person working on a contractual basis to be equivalent to a person in direct employment for the purposes of this resolution;

DECLARES void any contract specifying a lesser wage or contractual remuneration than is specified above, requiring that either that contract is revised to conform with the above requirements or that national redundancy laws be invoked;

ACCEPTS that individuals may be paid in kind as well as cash, evaluating such payments for the purposes of this act as follows:

* Items which form part of the relevant Poverty Line assessment are evaluated as that part, pro-rated to their proportion of the individual's actual requirements;
* Other goods and services are evaluated as their average market value in the area over which the Poverty Line is assessed;

and URGES nations to ensure that their welfare systems provide at least the equivalent of a weekly wage of 20% over the Poverty Line.

Proposed by: The Imperialistic Bourgeoisie

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #27: Freedom of Assembly (Category: Furtherment of Democracy; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: This law is, in a legislative manner, tyrannical. Peaceful protest in certain ways may lead to violence against the state, and in the case that violence does come up, the assembly should be dissolved and monitored by the state for the state is whom protects its citizens, and without the authority to do so the state has no control over the affairs of daily life in society.

Category: Repeal
Resolution: GA#30
Proposed by: The Imperialistic Bourgeoisie

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #30: Freedom of Expression (Category: Furtherment of Democracy; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: To say that the individual person has the right to act in any way, no matter how demeaning it is to the state and it's name, is absurd and is against the values of many societies.

Repeal "The Charter of Civil Rights"

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.


Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#35

Proposed by: The Imperialistic Bourgeoisie

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #35: The Charter of Civil Rights (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: National intervention for discrimination, inevitably, effects the economy in a large scale for corporations and members of government purposefully hire members of a certain ethnic group instead of searching for individuals who excel in that field. Civil rights acts are an abomination to liberty, for it forces the individual to acquire a certain set of beliefs which is tyrannical.

Honest mistake is defined as "Someone will misread the Resolution and submit a Repeal that supports the Resolution, or tries to undo a Resolution because they think it does something it doesn't". So far as the impacts which this nations believes are resultant from this legislation can happen — all of which do, from an admittedly extremely viewpoint that the state has a fundamentally paternalistic role in social affairs and a non-interventionist one in economic affairs — these are not honest mistake violations. Every single one of them is illegal, but not for the honest mistake rule (something which I believe ought be interpreted as rather on the lines of 'you submitted a repeal for the wrong resolution' rather than how it is interpreted now).

Governmental Branches

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.


Category: Human Rights

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: ArcanineStar

Description: I propose that due to the recent arguments, I've gotten sick of all the arguments on our government types. Why not split the government into categories based on governmental preferences?

We could have the two major governments, democracy and communism, split into different factions. Neither making influences on each other. basically all communist countries go away and basically form their own council, while the democratic countries form a different council.

Then each council would elect a representative to make their proposals to the leader of the whole world assembly and the leader would make the ultimate decision.

Example: Communists want to have dis-armament of their countries, the leader decides if that should happen for just the Communists and would never effect the Democratic group.

I think this is the only way to end this debating. We need some kind of a agreeable political system, and I hope this will be the start.

Sounds like either a game mechanics violation, or forced RP violation. Can't decide.

Having a hard time caring, too. Read the damned rules, that's what they are there for.

1. Speaks about the restriction of freedom of assembly when that trade is against the state. Fundamentally, the argument is that they object to the fact that they cannot restrict anti-government speech.

2. Again, it objects to the effect of the act on the reputation of the state, as this is speech 'no matter how demeaning it is to the state and it's name'. Fundamentally, it is about the fact that the author believes that such actions are against the morality defined by the state.

3. Even though this is false, 'National intervention for discrimination, inevitably, effects the economy in a large scale for corporations and members of government purposefully hire members of a certain ethnic group instead of searching for individuals who excel in that field'.

Why Capitlism will help in trd

A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.


Category: Free Trade

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: The Scottish States

Description: For beginner nations, economy seems like a confusing topic to just pick right or left. Well nations from all over the world I'm hear to introduce and to hopefully persuade you to change to a capitalist, free-trade paradise. I think having a capitalist based economy will be the best, here are some pros:
Economic freedom helps political freedom. If governments own the means of production and set prices, it invariably leads to a powerful state and creates a large bureaucracy which may extend into other areas of life.
Efficiency. Firms in a capitalist based society face incentives to be efficient and produce goods which are in demand. These incentives create the pressures to cut costs and avoid waste. State owned firms often tend to be more inefficient (e.g. less willing to get rid of surplus workers and less incentives to try new innovative working practices.)
Economic growth. With firms and individuals facing incentives to be innovative and work hard this creates a climate of innovation and economic expansion. This helps to increase real GDP and lead to improved living standards. This increased wealth, enables a higher standard of living; in theory, everyone can benefit from this increased wealth, and there is a ‘trickle down effect’ from rich to poor.
There are no better alternatives. As Winston Churchill, ‘“It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.’ A similar statement could apply to capitalism.
not saying capitalism is always good. some bad things like monopoly power and social benefits are ignored.

Now that out of the way lets compare capitalism with socialism, one of the or the biggest opposing thoughts in economics. Socialism things social inequality is bad for society, which is correct but to an extent. Socialism believes
that the government is responsible for reducing it via programs that benefit the poor things like free public education, free or subsidized healthcare, social security for the elderly, higher taxes on the rich. On the other hand, capitalists believe that the government does not use economic resources as efficiently as private enterprises do, and therefore society is better off with the free market determining economic winners and losers. If you didn't know an extreme form of socialism is communism. Capital (or the "means of production") is owned, operated, and traded in order to generate profits for private owners or shareholders. Emphasis on individual profit rather than on workers or society as a whole. No restriction on who may own capital. From each according to his ability, to each according to his contribution. Emphasis on profit being distributed among the society or workforce to complement individual wages/salaries. Governments should not pick winners and losers. All individuals should have access to basic articles of consumption and public goods to allow for self-actualization. Large-scale industries are collective efforts and thus the returns from these industries must benefit society as a whole.

And I ask this as a resolution, if you capitalist it will make you country a better stable place, just don't let companies get involved in politics.

This concludes my Resolution.
