I have one question.....
Why?
Actually - I have one or two more..
How will you prove it? What will the basis of evidence be?
Are you sure you can actually threaten ejection, since it might be somewhat illegal to do that (since it's only a threat, it might not)?
and
Why is it wrong to overthrow the government in another nation if that nation is run by evil tosspots?

Proposals have been deleted before for being 'terminally vague'. Maybe it'll happen again.

Also - doesn't the game have rules about invading regions and overthrowing the leaders? Wouldn't this make that impossible?

Actually, yeah, the 'ejection from the United Nations' renders it illegal anyway.

Ah, but funding one isn't an issue. Heck, even letting on of your intelligence branches act freely is allowed, so long as you never ordered them to take action. I'm sure we could find a few dozen thousand other loopholes.
Regardless, region invading would fall under this, and that has been enshrined into the game by the almighty Max Barry, who's word reigns supreme when it comes to the halls of the UN.
Any violation of this would result in sanctions and possible ejections out of the united nations.
Who will be sanctioning them? For how long? Who will decide to sanction them? How will they determine that sanctions are needed? Etc
Ejections are out of the question - illegal on game mechanics violation.

And weakens the principles of honest government.
