Nation Rights
A resolution to protect the national rights of UN members in the name of national sovereignty.

Strength:
*strong
*significant
*mild

Technological Advancement
A resolution to promote spending for the development of technologies.

Area Affected:
*Science
*Medicinal
*Communication
*Transportation
*Other

Perhaps other categories could also use the "Other" option as well.

I'd like a new category for medical proposals, which would increase health and tax. Currently resolutions in that area have been filed as Human Rights or Social Welfare.

Edit: IC: I don't mean I'm planning a resolution in that category (it would be beyond the remit the people of The Fleeting Daydream Of Safalra have given me), just that it should exist.

Nation Rights

Strength:

To be complemented by this presumably:

U.N. Rights
A resolution to enable the U.N. Gnomes to ruthlessly and un-democratically interfere in your legislative process and generally subsume your nation into a vast international collective.;)

On a more serious note, I've thought of including this category:

Employee Rights:
A resolution to strengthen the rights of workers and employees at the expense of business or government.

May the blessings of our otters be upon you.

Considering that the NatSov proposals work completely in the realm of "implied optionality", I think this one is utter crap. Reason is that a "Nation Rights" proposal, a TRUE Nation Rights proposal, would have explicit optionality - which is illegal. Implied optionality still has to sit in a category somewhere.

Also, what sort of stat changes would this one have?

Technological Advancement
A resolution to promote spending for the development of technologies.

Area Affected:
*Science
*Medicinal
*Communication
*Transportation
*Other

This might be suited for the education category, but I can see the argument.

Perhaps other categories could also use the "Other" option as well.

NO! Again, remember, we have to consider stat changes.

I once had this idea for two opposite categories (National Sovereignity and International Federalism) that would lessen or increase the effects of all other resolutions, but I don't think that would work both with having resolutions to go in them and the stat changes the way the game is coded.

They should add an Inflatable Gandalf Protection category.

U.N. Rights
A resolution to enable the U.N. Gnomes to ruthlessly and un-democratically interfere in your legislative process and generally subsume your nation into a vast international collective.YUS!

Cry havok and let slip the GNOMES OF WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

YUS!

Wrong puppet. :p

I wouldn't mind a category for Decentralisation Of Government (with the standard Mild, Strong, Significant categories). It would increase political freedoms and decrease corruption, and whatever else that local councils daily issue does.

We believe there is a definite need for a category called "International Relations" that would encompass resolutions dealing with the mechanics of diplomacy, laws of war, etc. There have been at least two resolutions passed within the last year that, after much discussion among knowledgeable members, were found not to fit into any of the existing categories. So the authors were forced to shoehorn them into categories which were obviously inapproporiate. Both would have fit nicely into "International Relations".
