To all WA Nations
I have proposed Coast Guards of The World to the floors of the WA.
The reason why I have proposed this resolution is to urge members of the
WA to seriously think about having a coast guard for their nation.
This resolution does not in anyway supports,funds or establishes
a WA Coast Guard. It only urges members to have one.
This was my first resolution so I now see the mistakes I have made with it,
so please bear with me. But let me know of any pointers you may have.
Respectfully,
Zane leader of Unnut :cool:

Urging nations to maintain coast guards is all well and good, but sixty feet seems to be an arbitrary number. The standard US Coast Guard cutter is 123 feet long. A nation with sixty feet of coastline doesn't need a coast guard, it just needs two guys with rifles standing guard.
There's nothing here that makes me want to vote for it. It's common sense that coast guards can do some good. Really, we're better off without this one cluttering up the books.

as an island nation, we find our navy most effective as a guard of our coasts. creating yet another branch of the military to satisfy yet another unfunded WA mandate would cost us, well, if not our head, at a minimum our sword.

I can just about go with this being International Security, but Strong? When it's got one active clause that only Urges? No way.
This has no point watsoever
