Hi all, this is my first post. I have one question. I am thinking on joining UN to add another dimension to my game. If I join UN do I have to obey the laws that UN makes? I don't want to obey those laws...My nation is fine the way it is.

Thanks

Simple answer: yes

Complex answer:yes and no

You are required to follow the letter of the law, but not the spirit of the law. If you find a good loophole within the law, you are more than welcome to abuse it as much as you like. Take note of words like "Encourages", "Urges", etc which are merely recommendation clauses.

Depending on who you talk to, you are also able to roleplay non-compliance - but at risk of embargoes and such being placed against you.

So...drugs are illegal in the UN? Euthanasia?

So...drugs are illegal in the UN? Euthanasia?

I suggest you peruse the list of passed UN resolutions (http://www.nationstates.net/78207/page=UN_past_resolutions).

Drugs are untouched - legalize them to your heart's content

Euthanasia.....read resolution 43

Your game statistics are also affected by any resolutions that pass while you are a member of the UN.

ie/ If a human rights resolution passes, then your civil rights will go uip a bit.

There may be other changes than just that, the exact stat changes have never been made clear (and are unlikely to).

I recently applied to join the UN, and was accepted. However, i never recieved a verification email, probably because it was diverted as spam. Unfortunately, I have AOL, and the parental controls block me from viewing my spam folder. Is there any way I can get the verification e-mail sent to another adress?

If you have another address (hotmail, gmail etc), then go to your nation's settings page, and change the address. Then, re-apply to the UN. Should work then.

ThanksThis (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9900794&postcount=8) should answer any questions you may have about compliance issues. :D

Thanks, could you point me maybe at some examples of compliance or non compliance roleplay. Thanks in advance.
