I have a query about the legality of a proposal I desire to submit to the United Nations. I have read the rules thoroughly and find them to be a bit vague. What I want to know is whether it would be fitting or not to submit an item proposing the creation of an electoral system for choosing Regional Delegates to the United Nations in order to replace the current endorsement system.

In my opinion, no it wouldn't be legal because something like that would fall under this rule...
# Game Mechanics
Game Mechanics violations are attempts to change how the UN works. Generally, these are Proposals that should be threads in Technical. Anything that requires and adjustment to how the game does things, or requires a change of code falls into this category. Requiring "proper" spelling, adjusting the number of votes needed for queue, creating a universal UN currency, and forming a "secondary UN" are all examples of this. Another example of this is forbidding UN action at a future point in time -- you can't make your Resolution "Repeal-proof" or prohibit types of legislation.
and/or this one...
# MetaGaming
MetaGaming is a difficult to understand category at times, especially since it often shares jurisdiction with Game Mechanics violations. Essentially, a MetaGaming violation is one that breaks "the fourth wall", or attempts to force events outside of the UN itself. Proposals dealing with Regions, with other nations, Moderators, and requiring activities on the Forums are examples. This also includes Proposals that try to affect non-UN nations.

Thank you much for your advice, I will not submit such a proposal.
