As a new member I have got two questions, that couldn't be awnswered by the FAQ or my Regional Board. Here they are:
1. If I join the UN, can I later leave it? For example if I don't like most of the decisions passed, and don't want to obey them.
2. Do the past UN decisions affect me?

Thank you in advance.

Yep, they do affect you, and how you leave the UN is clicking that little "resign" button.

Thanks. I understand, that after leaving, I'm not affected any longer?

As far as your stats, the past resolutions do not affect you. Leaving the UN will NOT reverse the effect on your stats of the resolutions passed while you were a member.

Right, thanks again. And I understand that all the resolutions can be changed back later. For example the "Ban th Guns" resolution. I hardly doubt whether it'll get through, but if it would(knock on wood), there is a proper resolution that lifts it, right?

Resolutions cannot be repealed. In some cases they can be more or less reversed, depending on the category, but for some there is no available category for a resolution that would reverse them.
