"There are several who would dispute this. Our own nation does not see much revenue from gambling, for example. But, then, that does not contradict what you actually said," Velnayanis said.NOTES that gambling is an addiction that occurs in various social classes.

"Why not mandate a treatment program? Gambling being an addiction is not a selling point."HEREBY proposes the following measures:
"Change the language on this. At current, it suggests actions without actually requiring them."1) Gambling is legal in all WA nations.
a) Nations may still restrict casino development in any area under their jurisdiction.
b) Nations may also outlaw gambling at their discretion.
c) Nations may set limits on betting amounts and amounts of money that one citizen can spend at one sitting in a casino.

"All funds come from the General Fund. We would suggest not attempting to change that. Also, I'm pretty sure this entire section is problematic because of that, due to a mandatory taxation of nations when the World Assembly itself does not practice that."

OOC: I understand that many nations roleplay gambling as a revenue stream, but my understanding of gambling as a funding measure is that it generally costs society as a whole to have casinos in place considering the increased crime that tends to occur around them.RECOGNIZES that gambling is a main source of economic revenue to many member nations.

Why? How is this an international issue? Why should the World Assembly care if a nation chooses to outlaw gambling? How do the effects of a gambling ban extend beyond the borders of the nation enacting the ban and affect rights or commerce in neighboring states?
