Voting ends Friday

My government will vote in favour of this.

Approved. Good luck.

I hope to help when I get my own region. Till then, good luck.

Very good proposal. I'm all for it.

I am grateful for all the support received. I hope this proposal reaches quorum.

If you want to help it along please contact your regional delegate and urge the approval of this proposal. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Very nicely done.

May I suggest, if you need to re-submit, that you add one more clause in? Concerning to the threat of Suitcase Bombs (http://www.wordiq.com/definition/Suitcase_bomb). Small nuclear weapons concealed in suitcases are far less conspicuous than conventional nuclear weapons, and be detonated by suicide bombers in major population centres. It'd be a fair satement to say they pose a significant threat to world security.

Perhaps a ban on manufacture of nuclear weapons able to fit inside a suitcase, and a program to track down and dismantle ones already in existence.

Small nuclear weapons concealed in suitcases
Wouldn't you say that's already covered in "nuclear arms, devices, or technologies"? I think a ban based on size is unreasonable and unenforceable, as MIRV warheads are already below that size.

Nah. He's got the salient points covered. I'm off to Approve this sucker.

I suppose so, but due to the added risk associated with these devices I felt it might warrant an extra section.

Of course, this is just a suggestion; it is very well thought out and gets my approval.

Just approved it.

Much gratitude to those that have already approved of this.

For everyone else, please approve it, or telegram you delegate to approve it. This proposal needs your support.

I am planning on voting in favour of this once it gets approved, and will telegram my delegate.

Good work and good luck.
