OOC: Question for people with CIA-style factbooks

I've seen quite a few people use the CIA World Factbooks as their basis for their factbooks, on the forums and on the wiki. Some people include lists of environmental agreements they've signed, like in the real CIA one. Are there NationStates versions of these agreements, then? And, if so, how can I find them, so that I can sign them?

Not sure of all the environmental rules, but my nation has what I call the Woodstock Convention, which is essentially a NS version of the Geneva Convention. However, it only applies to the Sarzonian military, and then it doesn't go into effect against certain enemies (ones that wouldn't be signatory countries to the RL Geneva Convention).

Some are real RPed convetions and agreements while others are just what people say their nation has done in its history.

Right, well that's sort of what I was talking about. But also, for example, in his factbook, Pacitalia, who wrote the guide on making factbooks, mentions being a member of 'Air Pollution, Air Pollution-Nitrogen Oxides, Air Pollution-Persistent Organic Pollutants, Air Pollution-Sulfur 85, Air Pollution-Sulfur 94, Antarctic-Environmental Protocol, Antarctic-Marine Living Resources, Antarctic Seals, Antarctic Treaty, Biodiversity, Climate Change, Climate Change-Kyoto Protocol, Desertification, Endangered Species, Environmental Modification, Eutrophication Prevention, Hazardous Wastes, Marine Life Conservation, Ozone Layer Protection, Ship Pollution, Tropical Timber 83, Tropical Timber 94 and Wetlands.' These all seem to be RL conventions, but I was wondering if there were NationStates equivalents, and if I could sign them.

Just make one up yourself.
