Should I Propose Resolution Related to COVID-19?

Postby Orangeforce » Fri Jul 31, 2020 10:47 pm

I was honestly wondering how the heck this could be. I want to make a proposal that has people required to have a supply of masks and gloves in their homes due to coronavirus. The problem is, I dont know if it is legal or not I won't make people forced into lockdowns or mandatory social distancing or whatever. But I just want nations to be prepared. Do you think the WA will allow preperations for a real-world virus that has us locked in real life? Or will they say no b/c COVID-19 doesnt exist in NS. (It does in RPs!) Share your opinion below! Thanks! -Orangeforce

COVID-19 doesn't necessarily exist in NS, but more importantly, is a clear real life reference rule violation. That said, consider changing your focus to all respiratory diseases or something more generalised than the specific ongoing world pandemic.

I would not recommend trying something this specific. A direct reference to COVID would be illegal as Imperium Anglorum explained, and the scope you propose seems very narrow. I would suggest trawling through the passed resolutions to see if there's something akin to a pandemic preparedness plan, and if there isn't, work at it from that angle.

EPARC stands for Epidemic and Pandemic Alert and Response Centre. It is a committee that generally handles situations involving large-scale disease. The committee is used in Epidemic Response Act, Infectious Disease Control, Rights of the Quarantined and Proper Hygiene for Medical Instruments. Any legislation you propose will have to avoid contradicting or substantially duplicating these four pieces of law, and possibly others.
Hello! I’m a GAer and NS Roleplayer from the United Kingdom.
My pronouns are he/him.
Any posts that I make as GenSec will be clearly marked as such and OOC. Conversely, my IC ambassador in the General Assembly is Ambassador Fortier. I’m always happy to discuss ideas about proposals, particularly if grammar or wording are in issue. I am also Executive Deputy Minister for the WA Ministry of TNP.
Kenmoria is an illiberal yet democratic nation pursuing the goals of communism in a semi-effective fashion. It has a very broad diplomatic presence despite being economically developing, mainly to seek help in recovering from the effect of a recent civil war. Read the factbook here for more information; perhaps, I will eventually finish it.
