THE ABOVE IS A PROPOSAL THAT THE EMPIRE OF JABICA have draft on behalf of Best region in the world THE UNITED CAPTIVES BE SUBMITTING TO THE WORLD ASSEMBLY, WHAT ARE YOUR VIEWS OF THIS PROPOSAL?

This is simply Antigua and Barbuda's National Security Council Act of 2006 (http://www.laws.gov.ag/bills/2006/national-security-council.pdf) fairly shittily plagiarised.

And proposal is spelt 'proposal'.

and like double the maximum amount of characters allowed in a proposal.

And highly illegal (game mechanics).

A trifecta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trifecta)! We have a winner!

i will admit I got it from the Antiguan Law books. FYI im an Antiguan.

To Quintessence of Dust you can just tell how numb your brain is in terms of game play and it people like you who makes this game dull. The is no rule saying that I can modify a law of a REAL country and submit it here, there a other proposals on here that are clear copied but you don't see me going around saying they are 'shitty'. It's immature on your part that you cannot have a sensible debate like a big man or woman you are.

*cough*plagiarism*cough*

He didn't say it was shitty because it was copied (although that may also be true), he said you did a shitty job of copying it.

Yes, there is: plagiarism is against the rules (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=420465), the reading of which I commend to you.

But come on, there's a broader point. Even if your proposal were not illegal for this reason, and even if it were not illegal for the other reasons mentioned, and putting aside the fact it is slightly over twice the permitted character count of a proposal, you can't think it's a good idea to, without change, copy a law from one small nationstate to an 18,000-strong international organization? The two institutions are in no way comparable. For example: the WA doesn't have any of the offices you list in Article 4. For example: you cite the 'World Assembly Constitution', a document that does not exist. For example: the WA has no common currency, $ or otherwise.

Read the rules. Read the sticky guide (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=490188). And look over some other drafting threads. Then come back and we will gladly contribute if you have an idea you think could be worked into a proposal. As it stands, your pique is mildly entertaining, but utterly irrelevant.

Yall just hating because you suck at everything you all do. The point of this proposal was make it seem original its just to make sure we have a International Security Council on here. It's open for a mature debate so amendments can be made. So dont hate cuz you all are just immature to this game and NEED TO GROW UP! or GET OFF!

Once again the MAJOR reason I placed this proposal in here is that there can be a sensible debate so that necessary amendments can be made. People have told me that they do not like to submit there proposal in here because of some of you NEGATIVE PEOPLE in here. Now I see what they told me and that's why this game is so dull even though the concept is innovative.. THIS IS A DRAFT NOT THE REAL THING THAT WOULD BE PLACED TO THE WA.

1. Calm down.

2. We are trying to help. But, sad to say, this proposal cannot simply be 'amended': it is too substantively illegal for that. You need to start over on a clean piece of paper.

Maybe you could start by saying: what is it that you want this International Security Council to do? (it would also be helpful if you indicated that you definitely have read the section of the rules on how committees work.)

To reiterate what the Quodite delegation said, this is not a good place to start. Read the rules sticky if you haven't understood why yet. In fact, read the rules sticky anyway; if you don't, the chances are that your next draft will be just as bad a starting place.

Suppose we take the opening paragraph as the aim:
to advise the Governments of the world with respect to national security, to coordinate national security among various government agencies and to enable the law enforcement and security forces and agencies of World Governments to cooperate more effectively in matters involving national security.

We currently have something that claims to do at least part of that in resolution 12: Prevention of Terrorism (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13835862&postcount=14). Frankly it's crap at it, and there are moves afoot to repeal and replace it. Perhaps you might like to take a look at the Altan Steppes' proposed replacement (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=559058)?

I'm mildly amused you left the message 'Only 1 friend...no wonder' on my profile page, when it would appear you have 0 friends through the Jolt system. And to reiterate, we're here to talk about your proposal, not the social graces of you or those debating you.

Incidentally, here's another old resolution (http://www.nationstates.net/page=UN_past_resolutions/start=210) that might give you some help in how to approach this subject.

I must confess I'm curious as to how you were aware of the original source (within 7 minutes, no less). We're all nerds here, yes, but I don't picture you as having a file with two years' worth of international legislation lying on hand, much less searching through it every time a proposal comes up. Kudos to you for catching it.
