Area of Effect: Artistic
The World Assembly,
Understanding that electronic gaming is an immensely popular hobby within many member states,
Delighted with the positive impacts of gaming, such as increased revenue for technology companies, less stress for overworked citizens and the contributions to overall modern culture,
Believing that a union of World Assembly member states to promote the art of gaming will be a net positive to society, hereby enacts the following, subject to extant World Assembly legislation:
- “Games” in this resolution shall refer to any game played on an electronic device, for the purposes of this resolution.
- The World Assembly Gaming Organisation (WAGO) is hereby established. The WAGO shall be an opt-in organisation exclusive to member states, excepting any member state noncompliant with extant World Assembly legislation. All other member states are encouraged to join this organisation.
- The WAGO shall establish the Games Library (the Library). The Library shall be responsible for the following:
- researching into and developing new, original games or sequels/spin-offs to previous games (with all relevant permission acquired and compensation paid).
- acquiring the exclusive rights to sell certain games.
- curating the above games into the Library and making this Library available to all WAGO members, ensuring that the games available in member states are legal for consumption in that member state.
- subsidising access to the Library for residents of member states that are unable to afford it.
- revoking access to the Library to nations or people that are noncompliant with existing World Assembly legislation.
- The WAGO shall establish the Tournaments Committee (TC). The TC shall be responsible for the following:
- researching the popularity of games and prioritising the organisation of tournaments based on the economic benefits of the potential tournaments.
- identifying and cooperating with suitable WAGO members willing to host gaming tournaments within their territory.
- hosting and being responsible for the logistics and promotion of these gaming tournaments, these tasks may be delegated towards relevant WAGO member states if more efficient.
- promoting games with potential to rake in large amounts of money in future tournaments.
- Member states shall establish systems to provide counseling and assistance to those addicted to gaming, proportional to the amount of gaming addicts in their jurisdiction.
- Member states shall establish “International Gamers Day” on the 12th of November annually, or equivalent date if suitable. On this day, all corn chips and carbonated drinks (Gaming Fuel) in member states where they are sold shall receive a 1% discount off the price they are ordinarily sold at, unless a business selling Gaming Fuel can demonstrably prove that doing as such will bankrupt the business.
