The Genevan League starts to create International Genevan League Bank. If you are interested in this suborganization in the Genevan League then you should become a member of the Genevan League. Here is what I ahve so far of the IGLB Bill that is starting to be passed by the members of the Genevan league. More will come tonight.

International Genevan League Bank (IGLB)

Preamble

When in the course of international events, it becomes necessary for nations to dissolve the political bands that separate them, to forge bands that unite them under equal station to which the laws of nature entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to unite under one banner.

We hold these truths to be self evident that all nations are created equal with certain unalienable rights. That to secure these rights, International Government are instituted among nations, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, - That whenever any Form of International Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the rights of the people to alter them or to abolish it, and to institute a new International Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that International Governments long established should not be charged for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such International Government, and to provide new guards for their future security.

We the peoples of the International Genevan League Bank determined to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war and to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and to employ international machinery for the promotion of the economic and social advancement of all peoples, have resolved to combine our efforts to accomplish these aims.
