Proposal: To Change the name of the United Nations

Woogtopia
22-06-2005, 18:06
Abstract
Whereas the name of the existing world body is known as the United Nations (known from here on as the UN).

Whereas the purpose of this organization is to enable laws, mediate disputes, and provide assisatance.

Whereas the membership within the United Nations is voluntary.

Whereas the majority of countries choose not to participate.

Comes now the Holy Republic of Woogtopia to propose a change of name and purpose for the UN.

History
While the UN has merited success in passing worldwide resolutions (Resolution 19873: Global Leash Laws on Furry Woodland Creatures and Resolution 28731: Global Swing Set Height Restrictions), the existing charter does not allow for enforcement of global rules upon non-member countries. Furthermore, the purpose of the UN is to "Serve People Worldwide". Currently there is no training program for any UN official to serve drinks, dinner, or even certify someone to drive the dessert cart. To the people of Woogtopia, this is unacceptable.

Proposal
The infinitely wise people of Woogtopia propose the following name change to reflect the true nature of the United Nations.

Sensible United Countries in Kinship

The unnaturally virile people of Woogtopia also propose to make membership in the Sensible United Countries in Kinship mandatory. Countries failing to voluntarily join will face numerous penalties, up to and including painful rectal cysts.

Conclusion
The people of Woogtopia feel this brilliant proposal will not only endear the wise future members of the Sensible United Countries in Kinship to endorse this new proposal, but also to remove their left socks in honor of our patron saint, Footsie Bootsie the Great. Failure to pay homage to our beloved patron saint will result in a fine, suspension of metabolism, and/or possible jail time in the famous "Gulag of our Times" located in sunny Cuba.

Is this legal? Doesn't this change the game mechanics?

Its illegal. Game mechanics, branding, probably others. It was fun to read though.

The point of my country is based off of variants of North Korea, Cuba, Franco's Spain, and other dictatorships where the country views itself as some sort of superpower, but could only wield three guys in a rowboat if attacked (Canada, for example) ;)

Anyhow, I expected the post to get booted, called illegal, etc, etc, etc. But it's what any mono-maniacal, narcissistic country in my position would do.

All hail Woogtopia!!!!

Woogtopia, we really don't give a damn about your nation setup in this case. This is still illegal, no matter how your nation is set up.

OK... This one is funny. :)

Originally... I was ticked, but think about it. THis can only be a joke, peeps. :) It would never pass...The mods wouldn't let it. Laugh once in awhile, will ya?


The problem with most people in the UN is that they take junk proposals and make them law. Those of us that fight them are constantly bombarded with crap that doesn't make sense. At least this one....We can all think that he isn't even taking himself seriously. :)

Hilarious! I give it an eight-point-five out of ten.

OOC: I'm playing a nation that got rid of its scientists suffering from incurable insanity by sending them to the UN as delegates. It's only natural that they wouldn't be able to tell whether or not what you're posting is serious. Personally, I find it quite hilarious, but I also find most humans quite hilarious in that they go around actually believing they are sentient or have even the rudiments of culture, civilization, or understanding of the universe. So, really, my sense of humor is not the best judge and I decided not to say anything because I have actually seen something similar before that was a serious attempt.

As for them responding to an OOC comment: They were driven insane due to playing around with altering the laws of physics.

IC: We'll be busy sending security to strip search your delegates for illegal weapons. Don't mind the tentacles.

You know what the scary thing is... The Swing-Height requirement/resolution was an actual EU charter issue. They ended up taking down a swing set in England because the chains were took long. Welcome to BurEaUcracy!

A gentle reminder from your fiendishly popular friends from Woogtopia. Tentacles brought into the Woogtopia leaders bodies are subject to a duty of no less than $400,000 US Dollars plus a drink, cigarette, and a few minutes of cuddling afterwards.

Failure to comply with tentacle duties shall result in a fine, hurt feelings, no phone calls for weeks, and feigned ignorance of the whole incident at social gatherings.

OOC: Yeah, I know. The U.S. also has its share of stupidity in that regard.

IC: Well, they would, but they happen to be the guards of the building itself. Basically, they can eat you and get away with it.

Woogtopia is always looking for heavily armed friends to join the Psychotic Plurality. The PP is a confederation loosely linked together with a common goal of world supremecy through obscure medical ailments. If you are interested in joining, a small $5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.22 fee is required along with your leaders Pituitary Gland to be held as collateral.
