Wow, I'm totally surprised that the socialist authoritarian one-worlder wants to keep a Communist dictatorship under Communist rule.
Flaming, and the SFR Yugoslavia was, in all honestly, neither communist nor pro-western under Tito. It was more akin to modern China minus the crimes against humanity (until 1992 obviously) and the privatization.

It's based off of The Organization That Shall Not Be Named, which directly influences member nation's domestic politics IRL. Saying the WA shouldn't be able to influence domestic politics is akin to saying that the US federal government shouldn't be able to influence state law.
To compare the role of a nation with the role of the WA just further shows your one-world tendencies. Nations are the only sovereign entities. States are arbitrary subdivisions used to better govern different regions within the nation. Now, you used the US federal government as a counterexample, but in fact the federal government shouldn't have any influence on state law according to the Constitution. Activist judges on the Supreme Court changed that over the years, and I'll be damned if I idly watch the same thing occur on an international level.
1. Again, flaming, and ad hominem. I've stated that I'm not a one-worlder. I've merely said a hypothetical that if I had to choose.
2. The Constitution was specifically made to let the government exert more power over the states. Read Article Four of the Constitution.

That's patently ridiculous. You don't leave an organization just because you disagree with one rule, especially when that rule isn't even going to pass. I envision the WA as an institution governing only international relations, and I intend to use my vote to make that vision a reality.
Read GA#2.
"Article 1 § Every WA Member State has the right to independence and hence to exercise freely, without dictation by any other NationState, all its legal powers, including the choice of its own form of government.
Article 2 § Every WA Member State has the right to exercise jurisdiction over its territory and over all persons and things therein, subject to the immunities recognized by international law.
Article 3 § Every WA Member State has the duty to refrain from unrequested intervention in the internal or external economic, political, religious, and social affairs of any other NationState, subject to the immunities recognized by international law."
"Article 9 § Every WA Member State has the duty to carry out in good faith its obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law, including this World Assembly, and it may not invoke provisions in its constitution or its laws as an excuse for failure to perform this duty."
Performing in good faith towards international law is required to stay in the WA. If you don't like the WA's laws, then you leave. It's like the League of Nations, except the WA actually gets stuff done.
