The WA is a democratic institution without leaders. You don't understand the WA or how it works.

If you aren't willing to leave your region, I'm not sure why other people would be willing to leave their regions. There's nothing else anybody can do.

Is there any specific thread that lists the appropriate syntax for GA Proposals? Like whether to use a semicolon, colon, period, etc.

Though it isn’t a thread, there is a web page, authored by Imperium Anglorum, which explains legislative styles.

Anybody is welcome to try to repeal anything in the GA. We don't need notices when people try. Especially when the proposal won't hit quorum.

I don't think I'm really understanding your question, because I can't see the connection between "parliament" and "world police". The WA can't be the sort of parliament that decides to go to war or set up a world police, because it's been told it can't have armies, military or police.

This seems entirely devoid of context. Can you provide some?

This thread is primarily for clarifying the actual rules themselves. Legality issues are ideally dealt with through the draft thread itself.

Is GA just an RP thing, or does it affect gameplay?

Which stats are affected are predetermined by category & area of effect, with how large the effect coming from the strength.

The admin have a coding system. The coding system roughly corresponds between gameside values and GA categories.

The actual stats are Very Secret. Only site staff gets to look at them, and not even all of them, iirc.

I have a question.

Postby Panemore » Tue Jan 26, 2021 10:21 pm

Would it be possible to propose a resolution that would sweep obesity rates under the carpet to benefit corporate entities? (i.e food chains, restaurants). Does this sound like a good idea in the first place?

Are you really proposing 'force all nations not to measure it so the problem is swept under the rug'? Imperium Anglorum, NationStates (26 Jan 2021) viewtopic.php?p=38259676#p38259676. That sounds like a terrible idea.

No, I am proposing food/drink companies to have more freedom from the government which would lead to the companies' ignorance against obesity. I apologize for my bad wording.
