Farmer Protection Act

A resolution to develop industry around the world.


Category: Advancement of Industry

Area of Effect: Tort Reform

Proposed by: Giocatori


Greetings fellow nations of the WA, I come before you today for the first time. As a nation who has remained isolated from the world, as this very body made laws and regulations that we in Giocatori May or may not agree with. Our Emperor has decided to take matters into his hands, and make some international laws that trurly benefit Giocatori and anyone she aligns with politically, culturally, and economically.

In recent years nations across the WA have increasingly disregarded their agricultural might. The fact is in this world of climate change and fossil fuel use still at large agriculture must be protected, more importantly the long standing families of farmers who have fed nations for generations.

Recognizing that nations have their own laws for agriculture, whether that be pesticide control or requirement of a degree

Understanding agriculture affects our kids and their kids, they shouldn’t have to worry about famine or the inability to have food in the table

Recognizing that no nation, democratic or authoritarian, wants to lose the approval of the farmers. They are the very fabric that holds nations together, from the beginning to the end of nations. Benfiting farmers who hold land for many generations can gurentee food from said farmers for years to come.

Recognizing that farmers are not in anyway superior, but rather have a more important role in society. This is not to make them better than the common population, but rather a way to give back to the farmers and avoid shortages or encroachment upon their land.

Understanding the economic importance of farming, hundreds of nations in this Assmebly have their biggest industry as Agriculture. For many nations agriculture is their main economic drive, and without it would surely crumble on the weight of their own ignorance. No nation can deny the economic value of agriculture, it drives every other field of the economy(excuse my pun, not intentional).

Recognizing, the many nations in this very assembly legislate against farmers, Governments with collectivist doctrines actively persecute private farmers. Even capitalist Systems legislate in favor of major corporations, or whoever has more money. Every system imaginable can intentionally or unintentionally harm the lives of their most important citizens.

Nations of the WA, this assembly has done what most consider as “amazing advancement of human rights”. Yet across the world farmers are not respected and are tossed aside for immigrants or more housing. Delegates, your very governments and regions that you are here to represent, trade farmers for power, in forms of corruption.

Understanding, this doesn’t change how agriculture is managed, but it’s an incentive to change cultures towards a more friendly enviorment of farmers. The idea of this proposal, with your approval, is to create the conditions necessary to change how farmers are treated in any society. Starting with granting special benefits to keep farmers family’s from losing their homes and land. Your people depend on these farmers, and the very representives in this assembly depend on farmers.

So, with the approval from the General Assembly, we here in Giocatori propose this piece of legislation to better the lives of millions, and keep generations fed and the economies rolling for years to come. Don’t only think of yourselves, but rather your children, and their children and so on and so fourth.


Formatting (Proposals must be formatted as laws, not speeches. ), Branding (Proposals must be written from the point of view of the WA as a whole, and cannot even mention any nations by name except as noted in the co-authoring rules), Wrong Area of Effect (this would *not* be Tort Reform), No Operative Clause (Proposals must place some sort of mandate on, or at least strongly urge, nations to do something. You may wish to start by specifically enumerating the "special benefits" you mentioned.), Basic English (I had to read that multiple times to figure out what exactly you were driving at.). You may wish to take this to drafting to get it cleaned up before you submit it.

International Protection Act

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


Category: International Security

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: The Steel Academy


We the WA and the nations of the world are under threat from not only international terrorism but the threat of aggressive invading country's. This act is being made to help bolster all other nations military and police to solidify the democracy that the WA stands for we must put a end to these threats to secure world peace between nations.

1. All nations must bolster their law enforcement and military spending by at least 10%-15%
2. All nations must condemn all terrorist and aggressive invaders
3. All nations must keep record background checks on all of its citizens and immigrants
4. All nations must provide a substantial form of boarder patrol if have not already
5. All nations must bolster land and coastal defenses at any level than before
6. All nations must place embargo on all nations that are deemed invaders and aggressive oppressors


Formatting (Proposals must be formatted as law, not speeches), Metagaming (Changing government spending is game mechanics), Contradiction of Previous Legislation (Even if it wasn't, the GA cannot interfere with internal budgeting/taxation in member nations)

Side note: The GA does not actually "stand for" democracy.

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

Category: International Security

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Uatice Blandstan

Clearly nobody in this world gets along.
This proposal would insure everyone has a suffcient military budget to defend themselves from other countries
We need to create a strong world and it starts with us
Military Disarmament is a great goal but not every country is in the world assembly
If we did that then we would all be at risk of hurting ourselves


Formatting, No Operative Clause, Metagaming, possibly wrong strength.

Repeal: “Ozone Layer Protection”

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.


Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#421

Proposed by: Helvetic Federation


General Assembly Resolution #421 “Ozone Layer Protection” (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: Manufacturing) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

1. Demands that governmental institutions or the World Assembly do not get involved in any industry whatsoever

2. Understands the significance of chemical industries for the betterment of humanity, people's lives and the economy

3. Condems any and all governments that have put significant barriers on factories, which had a negative impact on the economy and the mean salary of people

4. Applauses investments into any sector of the economy, pollutant or not, by the government

5. Urges non-member nations to not cooperate with ACE

Legislating in a Repeal (Repeals can only repeal. Any new legislation must be introduced in a separate proposal), Contradiction of Previous Legislation (Multiple previous resolutions create limitations on industry. Each and every one would need to be repealed in order to put in a proposal doing what you want to do.), Attempting to Affect Non-Member Nations (You cannot "urge" nations outside the WA to do anything in a proposal. The WA has no authority outside its member nations.)

Give Emus Rights

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Austrian emus

Emus, after long merciless wars with Humans, want Equal rights to Humans and do not want to be known as property or food. Animal Rights groups like the Karl von Emu Foundation, led by emus, strive for equal pay for Emus and the liberation of emus from zoos. Emus also need to go to schools and not be discriminated against. If these things happen then we will have better civil rights and more emus like Albert Emustein and Galilemu Galilemi.

New Standard Medicine

A resolution to modify universal standards of healthcare.

Category: Health

Area of Effect: Healthcare

Proposed by: REGISLAND

General Assembly

Since medicines have advanced along with technology, creating new chemically modified drugs.

And that all that is needed in nature is present.

Noting also that most of the time these medicines relieve the symptoms, therefore rarely finding the cure.

We know that the pharmaceutical industry bills with the production of the medicines, and that the doctors by it are moved to not take the immediate cure to continue billing with the patient;

I take the following precautions for the change of medicine.

1. All allopathy (orthodox medicine and current pattern) will initially be replaced by omeopathy, which consists of natural medicine today considered revolutionary.

2. Prohibition of chemically compound medicinal products by more than 50%.

3.Projection of non-alkaline water with pH below 7.0

So we must think first of the people, then the money.

Att.Regis Jr
President and King of Regisland


Branding. Plus others illegalities I am certain will be pointed out, as if the blatant branding were insufficient to make this illegal

Yes, Grays, because we've certainly never seen a proposal resubmitted multiple times with only the one mentioned illegality fixed and the others left in place. Excuse me for being thorough.
That said, you can rest assured. Typing on my phone is too much of a pain for me to bother.

A Resolution to Promote and Indoctrinate Democracy

A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.


Category: Furtherment of Democracy

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: The Permian Basin


WHEREAS, The community of NationStates is corroded with multiple governments promoting anti-democratic policy.

WHEREAS, Many nations fail to meet the needs and desires of their citizens and instead promote selfishness and demote individuality.

WHEREAS, The goal of all nation-states should be to promote and expand democracy, not remove it from governmental jurisdiction.

RESOLVED, The general assembly will form a committee that reviews the political freedoms granted by each nation-state under the jurisdiction of the World Assembly, and

FURTHER RESOLVED, Any nation that does not maintain a level of moderate political freedoms will be reviewed by the security council with the possibility of receiving a condemnation report and economic sanctions, and

FURTHER RESOLVED, Any nation in compliance of political freedom standards will potentially receive commendation from the security council for their steadfast efforts in promoting and indoctrinating democracy in their nation's government, and

FURTHER RESOLVED, Any resolution in conflict with this legislation will be reviewed by the newly formed committee to determine whether it should be re-evaluated by the general assembly


Metagaming (mentions of Security Council. The GA has nothing to do with and no authority over the Security Council.), possible Ideology Ban (attempting to force a minimum standard of democracy, which bans autocracies/dictatorships).


EDIT: There has since been a thread put up in the GA board on this resolution.

Eliminate The Practice of Slavery

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.


Category: Human Rights

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Crazybloxian Empire


This resolution, with the goal of abolishing the practice of slavery, and if passed shall commence the following effects:

1. Slavery defines the act of forcing people to work, owning people, selling people, or buying people.

2. Humans shall have the right to choose their job and occupation.

4. Slavery shall be made illegal in the nations of the WA.

5. Slaves, if managed to be kept in slavery, may NEVER BE TORTURED IN ANY MEANS.

Formatting ("The resolution... if passed...".

Clause 5 contradicts Clause 4 by implying slaves are permissible as long as they are not tortured.).

Give Emus the right to vote and treat them like equals. Emus are as smart as people and should not be kept in zoos. Keeping Emus in zoos unjustly is a rights abuse and cannot be tolerated.

Establish minimum Economic Stability to join wA

A resolution to restrict political freedoms in the interest of law and order.


Category: Political Stability

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Aussandries


UNDERSTANDING that many nations in the world have low finance.
BELIEVING that having weak nations in the World Assembly reduces the WA's effectivity in areas such as Trade Tariffs, Economic Sanctions and wellbeing of all nations.
HOPING to set the minimum requirement at 50 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index for admission in the WA.
ACKNOWLEDGING that some nations may be against this due to lack of economic value.
HOWEVER, realising that these nations are inconsequential compared to the needs of the vast majority of nations.
THEREFORE this proposal will:
(a) set the minimum requirement at 50 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index to join the WA.
(b) will NOT kick out nations currently in the WA with sub-par economies
(c) will however not allow any nations under the required standard entry into the WA

Formatting (Proposals must be formatted as the laws they will become, not as proposals), Optionality (resolutions affect all applicable nations or none. Older nations cannot be grandfathered in.), Game Mechanics/Metagaming (Proposals cannot add requirements for joining the WA)

Also, where in Sam Hell did you get the idea that the WA creates tariffs of any kind and sets economic sanctions when the WA is not allowed to mess with interior finances in any direct way?

The Currency Centralisation Act

A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.

Category: Free Trade

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Aeisonia

RECOGNISING the lack of a centralised currency in NationStates.
NOTING that many nations do not possess a stable currency.
KNOWING that it is hard to trade for things in the forums, due to currency having different values.

THIS act proposes a centralised currency for NationStates, and a new tab to see the value of the currency.
THIS would result in:

EASIER TRADING

OPENING UP THE POSSIBILITY OF AN IN-GAME STOCK MARKET

ALLOW FOR EASIER CONVERSION INTO OTHER CURRENCY

NOTING this, The Republic of Aeisonia proposes the Currency Centralisation Act.

Recognise Climate Change As Human Induced

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

Category: Environmental

Industry Affected: All Businesses - Mild

Proposed by: Greater Iceland and Faroe Islands

After years of battling back and force between the scientific community and the corporate dominated sham science on the topic of anthropogenic climate change, it is now the time for all member states of the General Assembly to recognise that climate change is indeed mostly caused by human induced greenhouse gases and that the world will work together to mitigate both the effects as well as the release of greenhouse gases (most notably CO2 and methane) into the atmosphere.
Hereby, the delegate to the General Assembly from the nation of Greater Iceland and Faroe Islands proposes that
1. All nation states must all recognise anthropogenic climate change
2. That all nation states will take fundamental steps to combat climate change
3. Promote the rather nascent green industry to allow for the development of an environmentally friendly economy
4. All schools must introduce anthropogenic climate change and its effects into the standard curriculum
5. That every June 27th should be the World Climate Day.

Thank you.

Animal Vaccination Policy
A resolution to modify universal standards of healthcare.

Category: Health | Area of Effect: Bioethics | Proposed by: Stahlmilitar


For too long, animals such as rats, dogs, and other species have carried diseases.

It's time we vaccinate animals.

For each 150 animals, 145 will be vaccinated. Therefore, most animals will be safe from disease and will not infect humans with deadly diseases.

I'm not even sure what this falls under (bumpersticker, proposal basics maybe), but that leaves me with a mental image that I cannot shake:

WA Animal Control specialist, crawling through the swamp with his co-worker, "Did you get that alligator? I don't want to vaccinate him twice! No, leave the damn badger alone - the snake meets our quota of 145 out of 150."

Affirming Climate Change as a Security Threat
A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.

Category: International Security | Strength: Significant | Proposed by: New Austra


Dear Member-States,
Climate Change is a threat to national security. With the threat of the polar ice capps melting and the fate of our planet at stake. I ask that, we, as the International Community, declare Climate Change as an International Security Threat. Let us commit to lowering carbon emissions and commit to sticking to Climate Treaties. Increasing temperatures pose a threat to our way of life, especially, cities near large bodies of water that are at risk to flooding with sea levels on the verge of rising. Let us start by declaring Climate Change as a threat to our national security and commit to making effective changes to lowering our country's carbon emissions. Thank you.

Sincerely,
The Chancellor of New Austra

International Space Atmospheric Organization Propsal

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

Category: International Security

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Uzbekan America

Fellow WA members, I propose a organization that would consist of all recognized countries cooperating to adress issues involving outer space or matters in international air space.

This organization, the International Space and Atmospheric Organization (or I.S.A.O.), would create regulations for space and air travel using bills and votes. There will be strict rules in place, and if disobeyed could lead to having their membership revoked. These rules will be outlined in the Sections below.

Section #1: Passing Regulations/Laws
A. Every country in the organization may vote, no matter their government or ideology.
B. For a minor law to pass, at least 2/5 of the voters must agree with the proposed bill.
C. For a major law to pass, at least 4/5 of the voters must agree with the proposed bill.
D. Voting is mandatory for all members unless under special conditions.
D. 1) Special conditions include: War (Civil and Non-Civil), Permission from a higher ranked leader, Economic crisis, or any issue occuring in their own country that is urgent to resolve.

Section #2: Responsibility Positions
A. There are 3 tiers of responsibility.
A. 1) Main Speaker
A. 2) Attendant
A. 3) Member
B. A Member has the ability to vote and to propose bills. Every country in the I.S.A.O is a Member.
C. A Attendant has the ability to vote and enforce the Main Speaker's decisions. Attendants are assigned by the Main Speaker and the members.
D. A Main Speaker has the ability to announce proposals, choose attendants, give out orders, and announce all events. The Main Speaker is elected by the Members.
E. Elections occur biannualy, but can happen otherwise if a Attendant(s) or the Main Speaker is fired.
F. To fire a Attendant at least 1/2 of the voters must agree to fire the Attendant.
G. To impeach a Main Speaker at least 3/4 of the voters must vote yes.

Section #3: This Organization's Limits
A. I.S.A.O. may not invade any countries' privacy without the countries approval.
B. I.S.A.O. may not own any form of military.
C. I.S.A.O. can evoke membership because of aggresion or other unfriendly actions toward others.
D. I.S.A.O. will not protect their Members, Attendants, or Main Speakers in times of war or times of crisis.

Section #4: Recruiting New Members
A. Any country may join if at least 1/8 of the voters agree to admission.
B. If the country applying is in the middle of a crisis or war, they should not expect any help.
C. If the country applying has been banned from any other group or organization within 4 months of applying, they will not be recieved.


Branding, meta-gaming by committee membership and duties (states don’t sit on committees, gnomes do), unsure about the category and especially strength.
Everything you know about me is wrong. Or a rumor. Something like that.

The Star Destroyer Act
A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.

Category: International Security

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Conservitve systems

If this is passed it will commence the construction of an Imperial class star destroyer the design will be based off of the imperial 2 varient with a heavier point defense system then a standard destroyer redundant sheilding for add protection and an expanded hanger with instead of the really bad tie fighters, would contain XG1 Starwing fighter bombers. This act will also commence the building of an escort force to support the destroyer by covering blind spots, fighter screening, and hiting faster moving targets, the force would contain a Arquitens class cruiser, a Dreadnaught class cruiser equiped with a hanger and a couple Starwings, a Lancer class frigate, a Carrack class frigate, a Gozanti class corvette, and a Raider class corvette. With this force the Assembly would have a very capable defense forse in space and an exploration group that could go places that craft before could not get to. This act would require a lot of cooperation between the members of the assembly but i do beleave it is more then possible for this progect to be accomplished.

I'll be generous and just say "Joke Proposal". Do movies and games count as RL references?

When the movies and games involved exist in RL, yes, they do.
I've labelled it as illegal for format (Not written as a law), RL references, Branding ("I"), and No Operative Clause.

The Droid Act

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

Category: International Security

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Conservitve systems

An act to build a droid army and space fleet simular to the Separatists military for the purposes of defense and to imbolster the nations' militaries if in the event of emergency such as a world war, alien invaision, zombie appocilipse, or other such threats as this when the need for man power and military force is at it's highest.

Not written as a law. Pretty sure “imbolster” is not a word. And given that their previous proposal (see above) was chock full of Star Wars references, I believe in that context “Droid” is a RW reference.

EDIT:
withdrawn, then resubmitted

Still RW reference, and still no such word as imbolster, and still not written as a law.
