Category: Political Stability

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Paisos Valencians

Queremos que se reconozca el derecho aa autodeterminacion de los pueblos, a través de un referéndum y nos podamos independizar sin tener miedo a que nos invadan o no nos reconozcan la nuestra independencia

1.) Ignore them, they want attention. Giving it to them will only encourage them.
2.) Keep a backup region or two handy, with a password in place, in case you are raided. You can move there if needed.

Repeal: “Responsibility in Transferring Arms”

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.

Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#399

Proposed by: New Swaraelia

General Assembly Resolution #399 “Responsibility in Transferring Arms” (Category: Global Disarmament; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The General Assembly,
Hereby opposing lack of recognition of military spending, does hereby recognize nations' abilities to decide, for themselves, rights and liberties to raising spending of their own military and defense spending if following regulation of previously passed World Assembly guidelines, with these statements,
1. Officially repeals "Responsibility in Transferring Arms" and doing the following;
2. Prohibits excessive meddling in nations' affairs, and thus
3. Creates a new standard of anti-Federalism throughout the World Assembly.
NatSov only, legislating in a repeal, slightly bloggy.
Ambassador to the World Assembly: Albinus Krantz

Arms Bearing Proposal

A resolution to tighten or relax gun control laws.

Category: Gun Control

Decision: Relax

Proposed by: New Swaraelia

Whereas, the General Assembly hereby recognizes the humanitarian right for self defense,
In a follow-up for such a resolution to take place;
1. All citizens may have the right to bear firearms for self-defense purposes only.
2. Governments may have the power to render policies restricting [to a limit] such a regulation but following the right to defend yourself.
3. Governments may decide on appropriate punishments based on their own legislation.


I think this is a duplicate of previously passed legislation.

Also (probably?) no operative clause.

Incidentally, if this passed, it's a good thing I only follow WA legislation on a pick-and-choose basis. Perks to not being a member, you know :P

Derecho A La Autodeterminacion
A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.

Category: Furtherment of Democracy

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: Paisos Valencians

El derecho de libre determinación de los pueblos, más conocido como derecho de autodeterminación, es el derecho de un pueblo a decidir sus propias formas de gobierno, perseguir su desarrollo económico, social y cultural, y estructurarse libremente, sin injerencias externas y de acuerdo con el principio de igualdad. La libre determinación está recogida en los Pactos Internacionales de Derechos Humanos, aunque no en la Declaración Universal de los Derechos Humanos. También numerosas resoluciones de la Asamblea General de la ONU hacen referencia a este principio y lo desarrollan: por ejemplo, las resoluciones 1514 (XV) o 1541 (XV), relativas al derecho de autodeterminación de los pueblos coloniales. Es un principio fundamental del Derecho internacional público y un derecho de los pueblos, que tiene carácter inalienable y genera obligaciones erga omnes[1]​ para los Estados. Incluso, de acuerdo con muchos autores, la libre determinación ha devenido norma de ius cogens.[2]​

El concepto de libre determinación tiene una gran fuerza y un carácter especialmente polémico. El Comité de Derechos Humanos ha puesto de manifiesto su naturaleza fundamental al señalar que es requisito necesario para la plena efectividad de los derechos humanos individuales. Pero su mención en el discurso político contemporáneo puede levantar temores de desestabilización, incluso violenta; también se ha asociado con posiciones políticas extremistas y chauvinismos étnicos.[3]​ La Revolución francesa se considera un paradigma básico de cómo el pueblo derrocó a la monarquía y a la aristocracia en el poder, y estableció un régimen republicano donde el pueblo se gobernaría a sí mismo.[4]​

Esta multiplicidad de sentidos se deriva de que la libre determinación está estrechamente ligada al término «pueblos», término que es a su vez problemático y que no ofrece un único significado. Por el contrario, tanto la doctrina como los Estados u otros agentes internacionales han tratado de hacer valer sus respectivas concepciones.[5]​ A partir de 1960, la definición de los pueblos coloniales como sujetos de la libre determinación supuso un impulso esencial para la descolonización y colaboró en una auténtica universalización de la sociedad internacional. Una concepción mayoritariamente occidental considera también «pueblo» al conjunto de habitantes de un Estado unitariamente considerado, mientras que diversas minorías nacionales o pueblos indígenas dentro de Estados se han autodefinido como pueblos. Sus reivindicaciones ponen de manifiesto la tensión y los conflictos que existen entre el derecho de libre determinación de los pueblos y la integridad territorial de los Estados.[6]​

Por otra parte, el derecho de autodeterminación no se articula exclusivamente con la fórmula de la independencia, sino que tal como aseguro la Comisión Africana de Derechos Humanos y de los Pueblos puede articularse en "independencia, autogobierno, gobierno local, federalismo, confederalismo, unitarismo o cualquier otra forma de relación conforme a las aspiraciones del pueblo, pero reconociendo los otros principios establecidos, como la soberanía e integridad territorial".[7]​

Make A Sandbox Mode For Nationstates
A resolution to reduce income inequality and increase basic welfare.

Category: Social Justice

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: Crynoah

Over the past few months playing Nationstates I've noticed that this game does not comply with the actual individuals choices and beliefs. This game only provides limited availability to all those who play it. These are the proposals I want Nationstates to enact, I also want the WA members to vote on these proposals so here are the proposals

Proposal One: having a custom population where you can choose how many citizens your starting country has. This can help for country's that had revolutions, New democracies or even abandoned countries

Proposal Two: More Ideologies, The New nations and existing nations should change their ideology if they want to or even customize their countries ideology. If someone wanted to switch their country from Conservative to Socialist they should be allowed to, plus when we or new members create new nations we should have more ideology than the current ones we have, for example we should have Anarcho-Capitalism, Communism, Populism, Democratic Socialism and Secularism.

Proposal Three: Re Using Issues, When a issue comes up you choose the outcome of the issue, the players should have the choice to comeback and change those issues so they can change the policy of that issue and the outcome of that certain issue

I proposed these issues so NationStates can add and update features to this game.

That one was horrific enough to justify a mod-deletion instead of just letting GenSec park it in the Illegals. C'mon, people - even a skim of the rules or the forums would have made it obvious that wasn't right.

There wasn't one, nor is one necessary for the mods to act. We have a Voice of Mod boilerplate telegram that we send when removing offensive or extremely illegal proposals. It points to this forum and the rules thread. I usually wait until GenSec requests a VOM, but this one was painfully obvious. Also, Game Mechanics violations are primarily a technical concern, which makes it partially GenSec, partially mods.

Really? I've only seen various mods saying the exact opposite - or, rather, completely washing mods hands off of in anyway policing the submissions that don't break OSRS - since GenSec started to operate the way it does these days.

Please don't get me wrong, ^that's a happy surprise, not bad... :P

Anti-Federalism In The World Assembly

A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.

Category: Furtherment of Democracy

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: New Swaraelia

Whereas; Complete recognition of all formerly passed legislation went on too long, for even a bold nation such as the United States adopted federalist and anti-federalist stances in their beginning stages, hereby institutes ability for anti-federalism.
And I, New Swaraelia, do hereby announce this proposal to give all nations the official right to;
1. Disregard 'legal' and 'illegal' status and having a general possibility to 'denounce' with given reason,
2. Establish forms of anti-federalism in the General Assembly;
3. Contradict other statements in their proposals while rendering them NULL and VOID;
With careful judgement for passage of this proposal, for furtherment of democracy, and for rights not to be trifled with for every nation in the World Assembly.


Game mechanics, branding, and a general inability to comprehend WA rules

International Currency Act
A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.

Category: Free Trade

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Huskana

The World Assembly,

Recognizes that each nation contains their own form of currency, with each their own design and monetary value.

Aware of the transfer of funds necessary when changing monetary funds from one sovereign nation to another.

Concerned for the amount of WA Nations that exist, the amount of necessary work to process, audit, and transfer funds from one currency to another.

Believes that WA Nations are discouraged from trade due to formalities in trading currencies from different customs to each of several different nations.

Declares:

Article I - Currency

a) Defines trade as an exchange of currency for a product or service, whether international or domestic.

b) Establishes the International Monetary Currency (IMC).

c) Mandates that all foreign trade be required through the payment in IMC.

d) Encourages the use of IMC in the use of domestic trade, although not required.

e) Clarifies that the WA Nation is not bounded to change its national currency to IMC.

f) Also Clarifies that although domestic trade with IMC is optional, but preferred. all foreign trade must be traded by use of IMC.

g) Requires all WA Nations to contain safe and transferable methods for changing currencies from IMC to the national currency of the nation, vice versa, and any other currency exchange that the nation offers.

Article II - Value and Holdings

a) Establishes the General Assembly Treasury (GAT), open to be used for all WA Nations for national reasons and/or GA matters for previously passed and future resolutions.

b) Tasks GAT with the transferring of all WA Nations currencies to and within each other, as well as printing and distributing IMC to all WA Nations.

c) Establishes the General Assembly Economics Group (GAEG), a subgroup of GAT.

d) Tasks GAEG with establishing the monetary value of IMC based on principles of global trade, transfer values of other currencies among each other, and any other methods they deem worthy to consider for establishing value to IMC.

e)Also Tasks GAEG with working with WA Nations in improving the value of their own currency, logging the value of the currency of all WA Nations by the same means as the IMC, as well as WA Nation reporting, and ensuring each WA Nation has a substantial amount of IMC credits to be in stable compliance with this act.

This seems to be tap dancing awful close to "No WA Currency".

I'm struggling to see how requiring everyone to use a particular currency in international trade reduces barriers to commerce. It seems like a great big barrier to me. And what about payments in kind? They're now abolished by the WA in the name of free trade.

Especially when trading with non-member nations, who of course wouldn't be obliged to accept this new currency anyway...

Protection Of Life On Outer Celestial Bodies
A resolution to modify universal standards of healthcare.

Category: Health

Area of Effect: Research

Proposed by: Sipion

The World Assembly,

ACKNOWLEDGING that our planet may not be the only planet to harbor life, whether on a level the same, lesser, or of higher intelligence than that of a human;

ACKNOWLEDGING that having lesser intelligence or higher intelligence may make said life forms more violent;

REALIZING that humanity has a fascination with exploring the outer cosmos;

REALIZING that if intelligent life is found, non-intelligent life may be discovered alongside it, and provides measures for protecting it

UNDERSTANDING that some nations have may have ill intentions towards any intelligent or non-intelligent alien life found;

UNDERSTANDING that some intelligent alien life may provoke nations to war to a degree unavoidable;

UNDERSTANDING that in the future, new laws may be made rendering these laws null and void, but until more is understood on the nature of possible life on outer celestial bodies these laws will be held in place;

DEFINING an intelligent dominant species as one that has taken the most land out of all other species, and has over 50% of the inhabitable land

DEFINING an outer celestial body as any celestial body outside our solar system;

FOR THE PURPOSES of this Resolution, intelligent life is not limited to carbon-based life forms, but rather being multicellular organisms, have some form of language (verbal or non-verbal), a semblance of self-awareness, and use of tools;

FOR THE PURPOSES of this Resolution, intelligent life is not the only life being protected; however, life forms deemed non-intelligent will fall under separate terms;

FOR THE PURPOSES of this Resolution, being provoked by intelligent life would mean a purposeful loss of life or integrity spawning from a form of large-scale organized group originating from the main inhabitants of said planet;

The General Assembly hereby declares:

ON THE SUBJECT of found intelligent life forms inside or out of our solar system;

1. Any negotiations, deals, diplomatic talks, or otherwise should first be taken out with the dominant intelligent species of said planet, until deals are made or they direct human groups to another intelligent species;
2. No person or group may lay siege or claim to lands claimed by intelligent alien life without first being provoked to do so by said life;

3. No corporation or business may begin to farm, mine, or do other harming business without first consulting the leader of said life, and the leader has been deemed able-minded enough to understand;

4. If war becomes the only option available, all laws pertaining to war must be obeyed until separate laws for interstellar war may be enacted, and as much of the ecosystem and alien life should try to be preserved as possible;

5. Hostile planetary takeover under any guise will not be tolerated without war first being provoked and all other options have been exhausted;

6. Communications and diplomatic meetings should first be arranged if found possible upon the location of intelligent life forms, in order to further intelligence on said species;

7. Physical testing under any guise on any intelligent life should be only done if said life can understand at the bare minimum what is being in similar terms that a doctor would speak to a younger patient;

8. Exploration of the planet involved is necessary in order to better understand the ecosystem, and as such is not prohibited as long as precautions to preserve the ecosystem and any human life involved

ON THE SUBJECT of found non-intelligent life forms inside or out of our solar system;

1. No person or group may lay siege or claim to lands harboring living ecosystems of non-intelligent life;
2. Testing on said life may be performed, but not in any way that would harm any alien ecosystem;

3. Businesses, corporations, or otherwise are prohibited from claiming land for industrial purposes, interrupting, or otherwise sabotaging an ecosystem of alien life;

4. Should some non-intelligent alien life pose as a cure for currently untreatable diseases, attempts to create a farm must be made, and ecosystem decimation to mass harvest the life will be seen as the last possible outcome;

5. Exploration of the planet involved is necessary in order to better understand the ecosystem, and as such is not prohibited as long as precautions to preserve the ecosystem and any human life involved;

The General Assembly concludes that until more is understood about life amongst outer celestial bodies, that these laws will be held in place. Research of any non-intelligent or non-living life found should be the top priority, and intelligent beings should be treated with the same respect leaders on our world are held with until otherwise proved wrong.

How is this "Health" category? Very earth-centric as well. NS =/= Earth.
Everything you know about me is wrong. Or a rumor. Something like that.

Recreational Areas For Schools

A resolution to promote funding and the development of education and the arts.

Category: Education and Creativity

Area of Effect: Artistic

Proposed by: Nation of MEME

Desiring that every child has the right to have fun during their education time,
Observing that some schools do not have a recreational area in which children can play in,
Convinced that adding recreational areas to schools improves learning outcomes for the citizens of THE WORLD

1) Declaring that every school in THE WORLD should have at least 100 meters squared of land to build recreational areas owned by them:
I) Schools recreational areas have to meet the following requirements:
a) At least 1 Slide,
b) At least 3 Swings,
i) Schools may add more recreational objects to their recreational areas if they want.
-

2) Designates budget for schools to be increased by 50% for 6 months for building the recreational areas:
I) If schools fail to meet those requirements in at least 24 months, the budget of schools will be cut by 30%.

Is “THE WORLD” a RL reference? I don’t believe this is “artistic” either.

Commentary: This be in the running for poster child of one size fits nobody. I fail to see the usefulness to mandate that High Schools and Universities have 1 slide and 3 swings.

"The World" in this proposal is linked to a region called "The World". And I agree that it's not artistic.

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

Category: Environmental

Industry Affected: Fishing

Proposed by: Dizgovzy

The World Assembly:
Recognises: That caviar and the fish they are caught from provide a valuable industry and job sector to many nations.
Acknowledges: That nations and businesses have the right to catch fish for caviar.
Realises: That the amounts of wild fish captured for caviar disrupt the ecosystem and damage the habitat.
Understands: That caviar and their parental fish that are raised in farms provide less harm to the natural ecosystem and therefore businesses should not be hampered from farming their caviar.

Hereby proposes:
That species population for wild caviar stock shall be tallied every five years.
That only fifty percent of females (of the total population) shall be captured every five years to keep the species' population stable.
That businesses and nations shall not consistently capture wild caviar stock-fish to use in farms.
That illegal caviar fishing shall be punished to protect the ecosystem and natural levels of fish.

Authored by Dizgovzy for the benefit of all.

Not entirely sure if "hereby proposes" followed by a couple sentences counts as an active clause or not. But, Branding, so there is that.
