It's your call, but noncompliance puts you in the position of playing with only yourself.


Guess a large majority of this game will just start "playing by themselves" as literally every nation violates at least one WA act. :roll:

Ooc: possibly, but most nations dont come to the GA forum and flaunt it. You want to rp noncompliance? Do it in another forum. Nobody here cares about that. Noncompliance in this forum gets you ignored

Oppose. The proposal is extraordinarily vague and worded in such a way that it could open up a possibility for WA protection of pest insects from pesticides.

The Federation of New Udonia has outlawed all forms of eugenics, including all forms of abortion, under Article 8 of the New Udonian Constitution.

The Federation of New Udonia is a sovereign nation, and thereby does not need to, and never will conform to WA resolutions which violate its constitution.


Simply write in a similar clause to your constitution, when the game issue arises, if you still want to outlaw it, you can and it will be under your official policies on your game's page. : )



Can I seriously do that while remaining in the WA? I won't get kicked or be in violation of any terms? Also, how can I make a constitution and have it apply to my nation?


Yes, you can. Any constitution you write for your nation, applies to your nation. You control your nation, that is the entire point of the game. Also, they can't kick you from the WA... as I mentioned before this community recognizes magical supernatural communities, nobody except the control-freaks will whine... :bow:

I guess you are correct. However, I would still like to create my own constitution. Do you know how I can do that?

Not true. This plan cannot legislate, as WA don't allow it in repeal plans. Therefore, this plan would do nothing but repeal the"Reproductive Freedoms" resolution.

The easiest way is to make a factbook, as Cekoviu mentioned above. Just go to your factbook and write. Usually the easiest way, is to review RL or other NationStates constitutions for ideas. The link below should take you to your factbook page. Remember, its your nation, your ideas. :)

Not true. This plan cannot legislate, as WA don't allow it in repeal plans. Therefore, this plan would do nothing but repeal the"Reproductive Freedoms" resolution.

It does not legislate, but it provides a precedent for the idea of the WA having an obligation to respect life.

I grow my nails out if I want to scratch eyes, Ambassador, but kicking sandcastles will just get sand in my heels and dirty up my stockings. It's just not practical.

Regarding current legislation, the Elyreian lenton fails to agree with arguments made to approve a repeal. As such, our stance remains opposed to any repeal at this time.

Yes, but since this plan is a repeal, the precedent would have no power over nations. The only thing it would be used for is to argue for those ridiculous ideas, an argument that would be quickly rejected.

Only if the Assembly passes legislation to the same.

Bell, almost out the door, stopped, turned, and looked at the Elyereian ambassador thoughtfully. Suddenly he shook his head, mumbled something that sounded like "Trevanyika" and left the debate hall.

ACKNOWLEDGES that an unborn child created by a parent is living,

UNDERSTANDS that there are cases in which an abortion should be allowed,

A good reception by the community. If our Government is confident it will receive enough sponsorships to bring it to the floor, then we will propose the plan.

Edit: Something went wrong with the quotes, sorry.

No. We believe the plan will get enough support. The only thing holding us back now are drafting and legality issues.
