Please endorse this proposal and if it becomes one, the resolution. Any country will be able to join and all nations apart of it will make money.


Pacific Ocean Gambling Arena
A resolution to legalize or outlaw gambling.


Category: Gambling
Legalize/Outlaw: Legalize
Proposed by: The Holy Samurai

Description: A large area will be constructed on the Pacific Ocean. This area will need to be large enough to hold 1 million people. This area will have a large building on top that will be the Arena.

The Arena will be an operation that all nations can be apart of. Obviously all nations wishing to be part of the Arena will need to donate at least 1 million(nations currency).

When the Arena is completed all the money won by the casinos of ALL the nations will be pooled together. After all the money has been put together it will be divided EQUALLY among all the nations apart of the Arena.

Approvals: 1 (The Holy Samurai)

Status: Lacking Support (requires 148 more approvals)

Voting Ends: Sun Mar 13 2005

ummm, would this actually be UN worthy? i mean, it should really be taken up with by a pacific region, not the UN

Let me see if I'm understanding this proposal correctly.

First off we build a large buliding on the Pacific Ocean, ok and how do we build on water exactly.

Then any nation who wants to take part in this pays $1,000,000, question: Who gets the money?

Finally all participating nations casinos are required to turn over all of their profits to this Arena to be evenly distirbuted to all participating nations.

I can't see any redeeming qualities in this proposal, approval denied.

The merits (or lack thereof) aside, there's nothing illegal about this proposal.

As much as I like the idea of having all the major gamblers in the world all within the range of an ICBM, I will oppose this.

The venerable Libertarians feel this proposal is unworthy of comment which is in itself a comment regarding this proposal, thus annoying us that we have now commented after saying it was unworthy.

I wear nice pants. :D

Surely five of the most powerful regions of the game might have something to say about this? Or are the opinions of the Pacifics worth nothing?

I happen to value my own opinion more highly, but perhaps I'm somewhat biased. ;)

That's fair enough. Just wanted to give a head's up to The Holy Samurai before the Pacifics unite to turn his/her proposed gambling area into rubble.
