Vote for my latest proposal, called the Interanational Equality Accor. And join Underwearlessland please.

1) Don't recruit here. We don't care. Recruitment posts belong in gameplay
2) It is considered polite to post the text of your proposal.

Here it is:

International Equality Accord

A resolution to reduce income inequality and increase basic welfare.


Category: Social Justice


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Mesvah

Description: It has been found that:
-nations with strong economies find nations with lesser economies inferior
-resolutions and proposals by lesser known nations are blatantly ignored by United Nations
-nations with prior records of dominating regions are treated as wreckers of peaceful union
In recognition of these facts, it will become unlawful for United Nations members to judge nations because of thier economic and regional powers, thier social standings on Civil Rights and political freedoms, as well as thier prior actions.
In effect,Proposals and Resolutions shall be greeted with open minds, and vendettas shall not be taken out upon the world stage on fellow nations.

Oh god. A strong resolution. Those are always bad signs.

-nations with strong economies find nations with lesser economies inferior

They tend to, yes. However, there's a lot of lesser economy nations that tell those superior economy nations to cram it up their a-hole because they are using slaves/labor being paid a penny an hour/labor working 120 hrs/wk, etc to achieve that goal.

-resolutions and proposals by lesser known nations are blatantly ignored by United Nations

No they aren't. The previous resolution and the one at vote right now are by absolute nobodies. We are more concerned about quality and the vast majority of those "ignored" proposals are not of sufficient quality to become resolutions. A lot of time is spent writing each resolution, and to claim we don't pay attention to such proposals is true only because we KNOW they haven't spent enough time working on these proposals.

-nations with prior records of dominating regions are treated as wreckers of peaceful union

This sounds like Game mechanics violation

In recognition of these facts, it will become unlawful for United Nations members to judge nations because of thier economic and regional powers, thier social standings on Civil Rights and political freedoms, as well as thier prior actions.

Welcome to the UN forums. Pull up a chair, you have a lot to learn

1) There is absolutely no gameplay enforcement body. There are various forms of roleplayed enforcement bodies, but they can't change a vote being the player is biased.
2) With a few exceptions, we don't partake in vendettas based upon who voted on what here. The vendettas that do exist are all due to what has been proposed previously by said person, and even then, we mostly try to avoid it. I have never heard of opposition based upon economic status, violating a resolution or whether the person was an invader or not

I find your claims to be insulting and unquestionably unfair - showing your failure to understand the community. The fact that you have made at least 3 illegal comments in your proposal shows that you didn't spend enough time working on this proposal. As such, I'm not supporting it

And here I just posted this in the silly proposals thread.:rolleyes:
