This thread is dedicated to the region of New York (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/90173/page=display_region/region=new_york). The politics of our region shall be done here as well as regional roleplaying as the regional bulletin board just cannot keep up with us. I'd like to keep this thread limited to New York region members only unless of course it is a matter that involves someone else. In that case, please I welcome you.

"SPCC Regulation Act
A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.


Category: Environmental
Industry Affected: All Businesses

Description: SPCC (Spill Prevention Control & Countermeasures)

Oil leaks; from out of date pipelines or huge storage tanks/refineries can cause enormous environmental damage. The cost to taxpayers and future generations of the world due to a mass spill on land or at sea could be catastrophic. Millions of barrels of crude oil are lost to the oil-hungry nations of the world each year. We must unite to endorse the use of double-hulled pipelines and storage/transport vehicles worldwide. This would prevent environmental disasters like the one caused by the train wreck in North Korea in 2004, that killed 3000 civilians, or the underground pipeline leak outside San Francisco, where 15 Million gallons of crude oil leaked into the Pacific Ocean affecting between 300 and 600 acres of marshland near Suisun Bay.

Oil storage tanks occasionally leak. The risk of leakage increases as the oil tank ages. If the oil storage tank is underground, a small oil leak may go undetected for a long period of time. When an oil leak occurs, it often contaminates the surrounding soil. In an area such as Long Island, this contamination eventually gets into the underground aquifer that is the sole source of Long Island’s drinking water. Therefore, oil spills in areas such as Long Island and other large cities are considered very serious. In other areas, oil spills are also serious, but may not contaminate the ground water to as great an extent. Oil spill cleanup steps are mandated by regulatory agencies and can be very expensive.

This resolution would be a huge cost the Oil Industry at first, but in the long run ~ would help lower the cost of fuel and lower the cost of environmental clean ups ~ which as we know, are sooner or later passed on to the consumers of the world. This SPCC Regulation Act would benefit the fishing, tourism, shipbuilding industries, and trucking/transport industries.

"Ban Single-Hulled Tankers" was an earlier resolution, passed by the United Nations back on April 25th, 2003 and was implemented on April 28th, 2003.
That resolution had, Votes For: 16664 & Votes Against: 2670

This proposal, is an updated extention of that resolution. "

Yes:

No:

Rock the vote!

I send a telegram to every new nation that enters the region, unless they depart before I am online. It goes like this:

"Welcome to the region of New York. We appreciate your visit and hope you decide to make New York your permanent residence.

Check out the regional message board for current discussions and for regional voting and discussion on pending UN Resolutions. "


What do you think? Do you think that is fine or is there something I should add or delete?

Thanks for the input and helping me do the Delegate job better.

Uller Pens, Diplomatic Atache for Foreign Affairs in Undivulged Principles has issued a declaration by the Confederacy of Undivulge Principles as Regional Delegate of New York.

The contents of this declaration are restricted but it is believed to contain a warning to the Southeastern Virginian military contingent of the Layarteb Commonwealth not to moblize and enter the region of New York. Pending NYRT authorization such an act will be construed as an invasion of New York Regional Sovereignty with appropriate repurcussions .

Caratan looked over the memo from his bunker inside Freedom City. He shrugged his shoulders. "What the hell does he want? Can't he see I'm fighting a war here. If I stick my head out the Emperor is going to chop it off." He turned to his aide and dictated a response. "Please accept my apology for my inability to attend. I fear for my life that the Emperor will take it if I leave the sanctity of my hideout. Perhaps we may meet after the Emperor and his opressive regime no longer exist." He turned and looked at the map. "Just one more city men! Layarteb City will be ours by tomorrow morning!" They cheered and inside Layarteb City, the fighting intensified. Loyal to the Emperor was a single division of infantry and armor. There were another two facing them with air support. It was only a matter of time!

1. Three locations in Confederacy of Undivulged Principles can be utilized. Tropical Beach Resort of Irudiu, the Regional Forum of Undivulged Principles in Orissant, Foreign Relations Building in the City of the Government of Undivulged Principles.

2. CSS Alabama, UD Carrier Fleet located in international waters in southern Gulf of New York.

3. Liberal Liberals. As a nation without arms and no weapons allowed in the nation it is an ideal location for a peaceful conference.

Please respond, and suggestions are welcome.

Kristen Demor - Liberal Liberals policy to all who enter their domain is the same. Using technology developed primarily in the Confederacy of Undivulged Principles (such as sonic and nano inhibitors) all migrants (foreign and domestic) passing the border are funneled through disarmament centers. All diplomats are sent to a unique facility, for added security. This facility is sanitised from human involvement, all operations being run by an advanced integrated operating system. From there officials are ferried by special train to a remote international embassy city (where all foreign diplomats reside). From this locale all events are planned and implemented. This is done for the express security of the diplomats.

President Anderson stands in front of his large picture window overlooking the courtyard of the Presidential building in the center of his Confederacy. He closes the blinds and flicks on the lights, bathing the room in an eerie glow. He stands behind his desk and lights a cigar, before addressing his council

"Gentlemen and ladies, I have called you forth to ask the advice of my trusted council. We have been members of New York for a little while, and now I feel it is time to make our presence known. Let them know we are here, to have them put us on this map. We all fled our former region due to the all pervasive force of our former District Attorney who's name, of course, is still punishable by incarceration if it is to be mentioned, isn't that right acting DA?"

He turns back to his council who all nod there heads in agreement.

The Empire of Demoliation would like to ask permission from the region councel to begin an exploration and expansion mission into the unclaimed lands. I make this announcement in hope that other leaders can see the potential in this project. Along with permission I request aid in from other regions in the form of construction, excavting, mining, and military if possible. This will create many jobs not only for Demoliation but for any aiding nation as well. In return for cooperation Demoliation will share all resources discovered with all who help in this great project. Please time to think this over before making an immediate response.

Well he made it clear that the 'New Order' was intent on overthrowing UD with our help. They mentioned it was for ideological reasons because UD is not a right winger, they claimed he was a liberal, when i reckon he is more Centre.
Anyway, i like UD and NY so we can't have these two babies running about trying to wreck the place, and then threatening those that stand in their way.
Only thing is it doesn't look like they use the forums at all so what are we to do?

Why do you take my desire to explore so threatening? To not want me to prceed is one matter, to threaten me is another. How do you figure you have the right to defend UNCLAIMED land. If another nation would wish to expand and has the area to do so then they shoud have the right to proceed. It is alittle alarming too that no other nation even took the time to respond to my request. I may be wrong on this issue, if so I hope we can reach a common ground.

Since the establishment of the map, the Empire of Layarteb has been the protector of the unoccupied zones. See the red text as such would be considered an aggressive act by us and will not be allowed as far as we can help it.

New York Regional Defense Treaty


Recognizing that the region of New York has grown by leaps and bounds in recent months, there comes the necessity for self-defense. With the recent activities of region crashers elsewhere throughout Nation-States it is only a matter of time before they target our region and destroy the peace and prosperity that engulfs our region. Self-defense of our region is essential to the protection of its sanctity.

I, the Emperor of The Empire of Layarteb, propose that the Empire of Layarteb and other prominent, active, and influential states within our region enact a treaty that assures the defense of the region against enemies, both foreign and domestic, and against region crashers.

The treaty will set up a council that will oversee the upholding of this treaty. Each member nation will be allotted a single vote inside the council. A simple majority will be required for action and, for any changes to the treaty, a majority of at least two thirds of the member nations will be required.

Region Crashers
With the possibility of a group of nations joining, electing their delegate, and seizing power of the region through whatever means, legal or illegal, we must bring the issue to the table. Several regions, Northern Ireland being the best example, have come under such attacks. These attacks more or less destroyed the sanctity of the region and marred it permanently. Region crashers SHALL NOT BE TOLERATED. Any instance of such an event will be met with immediate retaliation of whatever means necessary to ensure the safety, sovereignty, and sanctity of our region.

Aggressor Nations
If any nation of the region of New York is attacked without provocation by a foreign or domestic nation, regardless of status, members of this defense treaty shall be obligated to assist. If the nation being attacked, the victim, wishes to retaliate against their aggressor then, if desired, it can call upon the assistance of all nations member to this treaty. If the victim does not wish to retaliate they will not be obligated to and members of this treaty shall not pursue their own actions unless they are directly attacked or affected in negative ways by the aggressor nation. Also, the victim does not have to request the assistance of members of this treaty.

First and foremost, the defense of the New York region is against region crashers and enemies both abroad and at home.

Secondly, no member nation shall seek unjustified war with another nation inside the region of New York. A justification must be provided to the council. Any illegal actions will be met with sanctions and/or conflict as well as any other possible circumstance. The council shall decide on the course of action against any violator.

Thirdly, joining this treaty will require an embassy of each member nation in each country.

Fourthly, if the region of New York is threatened by region crashers all member nations will use whatever means necessary and whatever action determined by the council to combat them.

Fifthly, if any foreign nation threatens a domestic nation without a justifiable reason, to be investigated by the council, they will be met with an action set by the council.

Sixthly, if any domestic nation threatens another domestic nation without a justifiable reason, to be investigated by the council, they will be met with an action set by the council.

Seventhly, in order for any nation within the New York region to receive any protection under this treaty they must be a member of this pact.

Eighthly, the council may enact any of the following circumstances to an aggressor nation but is not limited to them: sanctions, war, economic repercussions, etc.

Ninthly, retaliatory strikes must be limited to the maximum force used. For example, a conventional attack must have a conventional retaliatory strike but an unconventional attack using any form of WMD may or may not incur WMD in the retaliation. This is at the discretion of the victim and any nations it wishes to involve.


The duties of any member nations will be to uphold all conditions within this treaty. They will be expected to act logically and reasonably. Members will be required to contribute funds to the council in order to maintain basic cost needs. Members will be required to submit 1% of their annual budget to be deposited annually in the general bank account of the pact, to be held at the First New York Regional Bank. Members, unless directly attacked themselves, shall not pursue any aggressor without the approval of the victim. All members of this treaty are required, when asked, to provide assistance against any aggressor nation or region crasher.

Let it be hereby known that all members who sign this arrangement will be held in the fullest sense to its duties and requirements. Such actions to the contrary will result in a dismissal from the arrangement via two-thirds vote of all signatory members.

The Empire of Layarteb has placed all branches of the Imperial Layartebian Military on REDCON 3. Our border defenses along the Dnalkrad-Demoliation border have been placed on a special alert and all units are now under free engagement orders if any military units from Demoliation attack border checkpoints or make any aggressive moves (these are pending command approval). If any military action is taken towards the Empire of Layarteb or any unathorized colonization in the unoccupied zones we will not hesitate to defend both our and the zones' honor.


REDCON 5 Normal peacetime readiness
REDCON 4 Normal, increased intelligence and strengthened security measures
REDCON 3 Increase in force readiness above normal readiness
REDCON 2 Further Increase in force readiness, but less than maximum readiness
REDCON 1 Maximum force readiness.

OK again I am confused. I am yet to make an aggressive act toward anybody yet you activate your military. I have not threatened or act threatening toward anybody yet you have taken upon yourself to speak for the region. Also in acordance to what you just left as a responce I am now seen as an enemy or crasher of the region, and correct me if I am wrong but in our agreement for the right of passage through my nation I myself was supossed to be signed onto the treaty (which I still do not see). I am just trying to understand why you have such angression towards my nation when I have not made a single aggressive act towards anybody. Finally I do not wish to make this a world affair, which by attacking me would do just that. Being an active UN member I do not wish to call upon other UN members for assistance in defending against attack. I am a peaceful nation and would like to stay that way.

Thank You

Meanwhile in Demoliation a man with a striking resemblance to Patton with cigar in mouth. "SIR we have to activate all military at once and defend ourself." "No, we do not need such worries tor each the streets, instead just run servalliance over the area and inform me if theres anymore activity." "BUT SIR". " Shut up Ashton and you listen and listen good you WILL follow those orders or Ill have you securing porta potties by the week is over!!" "Yes Sir." Ashton leaves the room and storms down the crowded hall. While in the emporers chamber the emporer mumbles to himself " god help us if Im wrong on this."

Our increase in readiness is merely an action in case it were needed. We do not label you an enemy of the region nor do we see you as a region crasher. My measures are merely in pre-emption in case your forces should go into the UZ for the purpose of colonization.

Well i said Go ahead, they can work off of my 4th Fleet which is stationed off Sacrobees island, or you can let them work out of the Stadium in Neo Tyr which the 9th Foreign Legion Regiment (Airborne Peacekeepers) currently occupy.

Keep in mind though, Hogsweat has been absence and operations in Neo Tyr against this underground installation are currently the primary mission objective.

Due to the over all lack of support and other objections the Empire of Demoliatio is sorry to say that it is going to back down on the issue of exploration and expansion. Though this this is important to Demolaition it is not important enough to go to war over. Maybe at a later date this issue can be passed successfully.

In response to a statement by The Empire of Demoliation, the Empire of Layarteb is standing down along the borders and decreasing the REDCON alert to Level 4. Counterattack methods are being slowly moved away though the border check points will remain strong and secure.

Layarteb has anti-drug policies.

Callisdrun has pro-drug policies.

Callisdrun was once an exporter of drugs to Layarteb.

Urbh Yueh was once an exporter of drugs to Layarteb.

Callisdrun has two main families (Harthy's and Sorviks).

The Harthy's cooperate with the EOL.

The Sorviks and the Harthy's hate each other.

The Sorviks and the Urbh Yueh have joined to rid Callisdrun of the Harthy's and to make the EOL pay for their support of the Harthy's.

Project LOrion

A resolution to slash worldwide military spending.


Category: Global Disarmament


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: P0rnstars

Description: All UN member nations of sufficient economic strength would pay a small fee* which would go towards creating a viable project orion type spacecraft in order to explore the solar system and beyond. This craft would use nuclear detonations to propel it's self (after being launched and propelled a safe distance away from the earth by conventional means) thus allowing it a vast speed and endurance increase over current spacecraft. Virtually no R&D would be required because this craft operates on existing technology and as such the costs would be minimal when compared to other methods of achieving the same performance. It would also make the world a safer place by using old nuclear devices to send man to the stars rather than to kill each other.
* This preferred payment media for this fee would be nuclear devices to propel the craft though any type of payment that a member nation chooses to make would be acceptable.

Approvals: 7 (P0rnstars, JS Nijmegen, Bloodsbane, WZ Forums, Extreme Darwinists, Niccolandia, Yangzhou)

Status: Lacking Support (requires 134 more approvals)
