This is draft 1.0 for a general level disarmament

1}Each nation agrees to not spend more than 1% of one's anual GNP on the military budget
2}Nations that are currently spending more than 1% of one's anual GNP on the military budget agree to a 10% cutback of its current spending on a yearly basis until it reaches the 1% level desired

"I cant wait till this passes", says the Emperor as he rubs his hands with a gleeful smile, "as soon as they all have that spending of 1% I'll be able to invade each of them in turn.... muahahahahaha". Suddenly the Emperor's aid comes in running and whispers something in the ShogunKhan Emperor's ear as he shuts off the microphone

"Did I say that out loud?", said the now shy-looking Emperor (wink wink)

i win. Can I take your land now, or would you prefer to stop drafting?

Also, I believe that this resolution is illegal due to Metagaming (like that currency one a few days ago), in that it forces the game to dictate spending amounts...

2 things,

1st}how do you get those snazzy statistics? I cant find the buttons for it.

2nd}is it really metagaming? I dont want to do that.

Yes. National spending percentages are calculated by the game based on a variety of factors. The text in UN proposals is not and cannot be one of those factors. It's quite possible to find someone with 15% or more of their economy devoted to the military, and this proposal would not change it that drastically, if at all.

Sorry, illegal.

ok thanx, love the statistic stuff. really snazzy!
