>So I'm a UN member. Now what?

The UN is your chance to mold the rest of the world to your vision, by voting for resolutions you like and scuttling the rest. However, it's a double-edged sword, because your nation will also be affected by any resolutions that pass. (You can't just obey the resolutions you like and ignore the rest, like real nations do.)
No, you can't do this. Not in any form.

Go check out the Rules for UN proposals (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=420465) and try something different. This one is a dead end.

Well I can't say I agree with it, but that's the rules, so...

Besides, if one doesn't want to abide by international resolutions, one doesn't have to be a member of the UN, right? ;)

Yeah, this one seems pretty dead in the water to me...
