"Do you want me to say where to shove your moral aversion? The WA already has banned discrimination based on sexuality."OOC: Since you're new here, I thought I should mention that in RL I am both transgender and gay, in IC Janis is the mother of a young gay man, and in IC Araraukar is ruled by a trans-or-a-gender person whose sexuality is unknown (possibly ace). And I'm still both OOCly and ICly of the opinion that this would be a bad idea even if it wasn't illegal for the reasons I mentioned in the feedback post.

Besides, this "community" already gets more than enough attention, it is absolutely pointless to give it more."

National News Radio: A large-scale infrastructure project will soon be underway. During this time, for safety reasons, the island will be closed to tourists and foreign news agents. We do expect a minor loss in revenue due to this, but this will be greatly offset by both the long and short-term benefits of the infrastructure project. If your job is negatively impacted by the island closure, please send a letter or verbal message via courier to the Council so that we can add you to the list of beneficiaries of foreign aid.

OOC (which means "out of character", btw, this is me, the RL player talking to you, the RL player): Why? And why that day especially? Also, mentioning a certain RL calendar day might be a RL reference violation (which means the proposal would be "illegal", against the proposal rules, and if submitted, wouldn't be allowed to go to vote by GenSec/mods).
2. FURTHER AFFIRMS that diplomats, ambassadors and any other international official have the freedom:
(a) To use any variation of a mathematical unit they wish to, for whatever application they choose to use it for (including for the purposes of WA documentation);
(b) To use any variation of numeration or mathematical notation they wish to, for whatever application they choose to use it for (including for the purposes of WA documentation);

Exactly! It should be the WA's job to enforce resolutions to prevent murderous dictatorships, terror, environment, health and terror from being exhibited in countries, not to be a social justice warrior.

Hack's response to a player's comment that their nation's calendar didn't contain a day with the designated date was along the lines of "If this passes, then your calendar will contain that date".
