Because I really don't know.

I wanted to bring The Blackguard into the UN so I could do a few more things with my nation (ie. Endorsements, Voting), but I'm unsure of its affect on my legislations.

Will my nation take UN resolutions in the same way it takes my choices on issues? I can't afford to have my nation split over what I say and what the UN says.

I'm pretty sure this belongs here.

Well, there are some statistical changes which occure when a resoluti0on passes. I personally do not know the extent of it. I do not believe it to be very drastic and I doubt it could change you UN nation categorization (and that's IF these numbers even contribute to that).

The way I understand it, the UN (at least the nice UN members) are fairly flexible with the way you apply resolutions as long as you make some sort of effort. In the interest of the game, I find it much more fun to hear a well thought out digression from the standard application, than to hear a fairly dumb compliance RP.

Anyway, I haven't been using my issues for a long time, and the resolutions that have been passed since I've stopped haven't enough weight to change my designation as a nation.

I hope that helps.

Take a look at the list of previous resolutions that the UN has passed. Technically, they won't affect your nation's statistics if you join, but most of us agree that you should RP that your nation follows them. The recent ones should give you an idea of the kind of resolution you can expect to see passed.

Um... They do affect your nation's stats. On the passing of the 'Sexes Right Law' my nation changed from a New York Times Democracy to a Left Wing Utopia. (Something I wasn't too happy about at the time, since my income tax was upped considerably.)

All _Myopia_ meant was that resolutions that passed before your nation joins the UN won't affect your nation's stats, which is correct. But yes, resolutions that pass while your nation is a UN member do affect your stats.

^_^ My bad.

S'ok. Thanks for clearing that up for me East Hackney.

I have on occasion been hit undesirably by resolutions (free trade ones tend to send me from Civil Rights Lovefest to Anarchy :mad: ), but really it's worth it to me because without the UN forum this game would be fairly empty (I don't RP).

Oh my. So I really am at risk.

Thanks for the help, that's one less thing for me to worry about. Now I just have to deal with it before it becomes a problem.

( cough )
... heh.

i would think that as long as your decisions on issues within your country do not contradict or go against the spirit of the UN resolutions, you don't have much of a problem, really.
