Greetings. My name is Shaman Joseph Looks of the Ronald Reagan Spirit Society. I have been chosen to represent the great, powerful and brave People of the Sacred Land of the United Tribes of Apoclypsia!

I await to work with my fellow diplomats on matters that concern us all as human beings. I have been sent on a mandate from Prezahdint Washingten to get the United Nations to take measures to secure a future for the Environment and for all of the human race.

I would be glad to introduce my six wives to you; I recently married my sixth wife Charity Looks, and am also awaiting the birth of my 15th child! My the Gods have been good to me, praise to Ronald Reagan! Anyways, I would appreciate transport to where you hold your meeting for me and my six wives and fifteen children.

I have been encouraged to also propose that marijuanna and opium be legalized, as well as hallucinogenic mushrooms and polygamy. Can I bring some of my marijuanna and mushrooms with me? I had a good bumper crop last year, praise Yahsiris, and I was wondering if I could bring a baggie of mushrooms and about two pounds of marijuanna with me.

Anyways, I will be representing the United Tribes of Apoclypsia. All I need is transport, which the Prezahdint has promised to pay for with a bag of gold dust and gems. Is this acceptable? I can be picked up on the outskirts of Seattle..we'll light a beacon fire for you to home in on when your airplane approaches.

They tell me you have childcare at the United Nations..Allthought I have six wives, sometimes even THEY need a break! I doubt you would allow me to bring my Clan sisters and a Clan grandmother with me to watch the little ones. So it would be very cool indeed if their was childcare. It's hard parenting fifteen kids, and my wives get tired out chasing them around all day! Anyways, looking towards working with you!

Greetings, Shaman Joseph Looks. The UN Gnomes arrange all official transport; you need merely express a wish, and it is done (with a lot of preparatory and subsequent form-filling-in, of course).

You have been brought to the UN Building, in which you will find the administrative section, the General Assembly and the Strangers' Bar (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12263098&postcount=1).

As to housing, childcare, etc, that is your country's responsibility, via your chef de mission. If you go outside and wander around, particularly in the Forum of the NationStates or the Forum des Incidents Internationales, you will see many attractive dwellings. Or caves.

Here is where you make official speeches on proposals and seek the help of other delegates in preparing your own. When you have a proposal ready, properly prepared according to the Rules (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=420465), please post it here. Just make sure we don't already have such legislation by checking it against this (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=357572).

You will find this pamphlet (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=490188) and this one (http://www.safalra.com/other/nationstates/un-resolution-browser/) particularly useful ... and this one (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12263098&postcount=1) ... and this, and this, and that, and ...

The Sophistan delegation is proud to welcome the right honourable ambassador from Archdoille into these hallowed halls. Sound minds are always welcome here; unsound minds are welcome so long as they are amusing. The ambassador from Apoclypsia has already provided you with the necessary documentation, so we have naught to add but a few rounds at the Stranger's Bar.

Here's to seeing you in the debate chambers.

Can I bring some of my marijuanna and mushrooms with me? I had a good bumper crop last year, praise Yahsiris, and I was wondering if I could bring a baggie of mushrooms and about two pounds of marijuanna with me.!I would advise no on the marijuanna if you plan to visit us as we hang drug dealers and those that support them. As for the mushrooms if they are suited to go with eggs or on a pizza then bring them if they not then leave them at home. Or again you could learn about our rope industry and how well our ropes hold up with a lot of dead flesh at the end of them.

As for the wives I would wonder how you deal with so many mother-in-laws as have just five wives and find it difficult to deal with their mothers.

So we would welcome you to visit us at any time just follow our laws while here and you will find it a pleasent visit for you and your wives as well as your children. I currently have just nine ages 2 to 11...

Also as advised by the senior member of the UN, Ardchoille, take some time to check the rules of order to avoid getting into trouble here. As we all are guest of our host and must follow many of their rules and laws which may not apply at home.

Pah! Drugs are not evil; indeed, their spiritually and religiously good and ethical. Have you never wished to see the Gods and speak to them? When a Shaman seeks to talk to their patron god or goddess, they go to a lonely place and eat of the sacred plants. Then the Gods reveal themselves in an inner vision, as the Shamans soul soars through the clouds and into the heavens.

Many times, among my clan in the kingdom of Hawaii, I have mounted the sky and flown to where the Gods dwell to speak to my patron diety, Ronald Reagan. I have spoken many times to the Great God, while eating of the holy mushrooms. Is it evil to speak to Gods? I must right this great injustic! Hopw can you handicapy the spirituality of your people by making what the Gods have given us as a sacrament evil?

As for my wives; All males, even Shamans, are initiated into the Male Mysteries at the first sing of puberty. When a boy first shoiws singhs of manhood, he is introduced to the Way of the Warrior. From then, untill he either goes to become a Shaman or joins the Copper Warrior Society, he learns the skill of the spear, the club, tomahawk and knife. Then, when he is 17 summers old, he goes on a great hunt, and if he is successful, he is married to a female.
Females respect and honor their husbands as the warriors they are. In return, the husband must care for his wife and their children. If a man is not a strong warrior and does not care for his woman and children, she leaves him for a warrior that can. Thus it is a great honor for a warrior t0o have many wives, as it shows he is a good provider.
My wives know I am a good warrior and also a faithful servant of the Gods and my patron Diety, Ronald Reagan. I won two of them from a bad man who beat them and did not provide for them. I challenged him to a duel with the warclub (in the kingdom of Hawaii, it is lined with teeth from great whites and also the Sacred Megladon, a shark that reaches 50 to 75 feet in length). I crushed his skull, and his wives gladly accepted me as their man.
No one missed him much. He was cowardly and brought dishonor on his Clan brothers and sisters, not to mention the elders and his parents wept with shame over having such a worthless, dishonorable son. They were pleased when I slayed him and were glad that I am a better provider then he was for his women.

As for the mushrooms if they are suited to go with eggs or on a pizza then bring them if they not then leave them at home.

What? No diplomatic immunity?

There is no way to render oneself totally immune to diplomats in the UN; however, a brief session in the Strangers' Bar will remove most of the annoying symptoms of exposure to this pestilent species.

A longer session will remove items of clothing, small change and most inhibitions.
