Collaboration Act
A resolution to promote funding and the development of education and the arts.
Category: Education and Creativity
Area of Effect: Educational
Proposed by: Imperial Isaac
The Collaboration Act is an act to add more Collaboration into schools across the world so in the future students won't be fully independent. It will be implemented like this.
More School projects will involve collaboration So Each student can be paired in groups of 2, 3, or 4. Each Student will need to do their part of the project If one student doesn't hand in their part of the work their grade for that project will be lowered not the whole group since it was only one student. The Only time the Whole group score can be affected is if the Whole group cheats or the group didn't do the project at all.
This will benefit as in today's society students don't really want to collab. Each nation Will need to add Collaboration into there School system.

Can anybody explain how this is “agriculture”?
Edit:
The wording of this seems to also make any form of ranching, raising chickens, or owning pets, illegal.
Essu Beti wrote:They also seem to think that zoos are just places for the public to gawk at animals, rather than having substantial benefit in the form of captive breeding programs and efforts to keep species from going extinct. I suspect that the California condor (went from 27 individuals to over 400) and the black-footed ferret (went from extinct in the wild to over 1,000 individuals) would disagree strongly with this proposal.

Marriage And The Sovereignty Of Nations
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
Category: Human Rights
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Aincrahd
This Proposal has 1 sections, one addresses Gay Marriage within the world assembly and improving the Sovereignty of nations.
Section 1: Gay Marriage within the World Assembly
The Issue of Homosexual Marriage has been circulating within the World Assembly for quite some time now and it has stirred quite a lot of debate. Nations have been forced to legalize Gay Marriage even after the Marriage Equality proposal.
Should this pass the definition of marriage will become a subjective term and the boundaries of it will be let up to the nations to decide and pass legislation to enforce what is and isn’t marriage in the eyes of their people/leader(s). It is purely a religious issue and should be addressed as such.
Upon being passed Marriage will be defined as the following:
Marriage- The joining of 2 beings within the boundaries of matrimony set by a nation’s National Religion/Philosophy
There are many issues in the WA right now, but a lot of them are based in morals/philosophy and should be addressed a nation based issue rather than a multiversal issue.

Nuclear Weapons Disarmament Act NWDA
A resolution to slash worldwide military spending.
Category: Global Disarmament
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Paradit Republic
It is brought to my attention that many nations in this world believe countries should not have nuclear weapons. And I must say I wholeheartedly believe that this a terrible idea. What is to say to the terrorists that will eventually obtain such weapons of mass destruction, what are we supposed to do then? We can't MAD or Mutually Assured Destruction them, we wouldn't have the weapons to do so. And what about the countries that do not associate with the General Assembly? Do they get to keep their weapons? Why can't I keep mine? I worked hard to gain the power along side the United States and the Soviet Union. And I spent billions to upkeep and produce the amount if weapons I have. I will not give up these projects so easily. I will however NOT use violent means to protest this. I am a peaceful nation.
Now I see where a lot of the world is coming from. They are weapons that could destroy the Earth we stand on today. But they are also what keeps us from being attacked from those same weapons. I may sound like a sore loser when it comes to my weapons, but I really do believe it is what keeps my nation safe from other nations. Just like the Soviet Union and United States, my nation is nearly impossible to invade, and most of that comes from the fact of my Atomic and Hydrogen bombs.
In the end I will not allow the General Assemble to take away my arsenal. I cannot allow my nation to just be open to attacks. I am not only thinking about my self and my power, but my citizens are some of the happiest in the world. Why would I want to let someone attack us and force them into a tyranny. If I lose my nuclear weapons. I lose my country.

The Wealth Corruption Act
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
Category: Human Rights
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Yvani
Dear World Assembly,
I request that people, without any sort or low grasp of government power, with greater wealth than the common citizen should be adequately kept eyes on, not to be ignored as commoners, to prevent corruption in nations' government and injustice to the common people.
We enforce this proposition with the fact that wealth should not be used to evade any sort of government punishment from bribes, sabotage, and etc.
The nation of Yvani understands that some celebrities and governmental officials of a low rank are often normal, upstanding, and uncorrupt people, and may be loosened up on this act for their spotless activity.
Our government acknowledges that some nations face with no high or low class, but all equal in wealth. As well as that some nations do not have the wealth themselves to do this themselves and should be assisted by their allies.
I worry how this corruption can affect nations like myself into injustice, rioting, then destruction. I greatly wish that this may be made as a law to protect the rights of the common people.
Sincerely, the Socialist Republic of Yavni.

After the Nuclear Day and Zombie Apocalypse, many of our nations' Citizens died and did not come back home, and many of them were the backbone of families. So to give those families the basic Needs of life , each Nation should atleast give 45% to such families. So the basic Compensation for families is atleast 20-45% of your nation's GDP.This small contribution can change the world and every affected family can live a better life.Let us unite and get together peace and harmony.
