Seeing as i lack the UN endorsments to submit a proposal, heres what i have

i am not sure how to begin these things, so i'll get right to the point

NOTING: that nuclear testing has hazardous effects on the world and environment

ENSURING: that nations opposed to nuclear testing will not be forced to start a nuclear program

ASSISTING: with the precision and power of nuclear devices of militant nations

ALLOWING: for unlimited testing without harming the immediate environment

UNDERSTANDING: that extensive testing will cause the subjugated nations to be harmful for some time

i do propse to the UN that

the nations in the REJECTED REALMS be used as nuclear testing grounds for precision missiles, new nuclear technologies, nuclear waste disposal, and radiation prevention technology.

Such use of the nations in the REJECTED REALMS would improve the UN members military strength, while providing an environment friendly solution to nuclear problems. The UN members region would remain unaffected by such a use of the Rejected nations.


Yea? Nay? if someone would submit this proposal (and PM me when they do) then that would be most appreciated.

or move to my region and Endorse me. that would be even better.

This is illegal. You can't refer to specific regions.

is there any way to revise it to MAKE it legal?

Well, considering everything that's actually operative is the illegal stuff, and considering that this seems rather... well... stupid, there's not much you can do without a wholesale rewrite of pretty much everything, including the entire purpose of the Proposal.

First off, you are assuming that the UN member isn't in the Rejected Realms, which isn't always true...

Second, you are assuming that nuclear testing in one region won't affect testing in another region (ignoring atmospheric currents, oceans, and the like)...

Third, I'm assuming that "not harming the immediate environment" refers to the nation which is testing, not the nation upon which it is testing?

Fourth, this would be grounds for the entire Rejected Realms to declare war, as you are launching nuclear weapons on them.

The only way I could see making this workable would be to create a non-specific testing ground... and I don't see the point of that. Sorry.:(

I'm really not sure how you can reconcile:

NOTING: that nuclear testing has hazardous effects on the world and environment

with

ALLOWING: for unlimited testing without harming the immediate environment

UNDERSTANDING: that extensive testing will cause the subjugated nations to be harmful for some time

Equally, why would you want to designate areas for testing that are actually inhabited and furthermore, given the often universal effects of nuclear testing (i.e. drift of radioactive particles, release of radiation into the atmosphere, etc) can you ever have limited nuclear testing?

the nations in the REJECTED REALMS be used as nuclear testing grounds for precision missiles, new nuclear technologies, nuclear waste disposal, and radiation prevention technology.

Such use of the nations in the REJECTED REALMS would improve the UN members military strength, while providing an environment friendly solution to nuclear problems. The UN members region would remain unaffected by such a use of the Rejected nations.

Quite apart from being illegal, why use the Rejected Realms?

Finally, as this resolution promotes nuclear testing, we consider it morally repellent and urge all delegates to pay no heed to it.

May the blessings of our otters be upon you.

I suggest a rewrite as follows (changes in italics):

Epsilon Andromedae be used as nuclear testing grounds for precision missiles, new nuclear technologies, nuclear waste disposal, and radiation prevention technology.

Such use of Epsilon Andromedae would improve the UN members military strength, while providing an environment friendly solution to nuclear problems. The UN members region would remain unaffected by such a use of Epsilon Andromedae.
