i do not condone the commercial fishing and exploitation of our fish friends

Fourth portland

Worldwide chicago

I urge all residents of the Immaterial Plane to reject this destructive and capitalist practice of trout fishing. We should be fishing for Asian Carp in the Chicago River instead and restoring the environment with our nation's fishing industries instead of destroying them.

Anarcho-chicago

This is a rare occasion where the people of Anarcho-Chicago completely agree with the people of Worldwide Chicago. The current proposal is clearly a ploy to become more capitalist, which we Anarcho-Chicagoans vehemently reject. We are known throughout the world for our near-bottom economic standing and we do not wish to change this.

This argument is flawed- the success of trout fishing is reliant heavily on the success of the natural ecosystem- additionally, Rainbow Trout are native to the Chicago River and Lake Michigan.

The additional pressure put on the Rainbow Trout populations by increased Trout Fishing will surely cause them to become extinct in Worldwide Chicago due to being outcompeted by the invasive Asian Carp in the Chicago River. We can not condone this resolution and we urge all nations to vote against it.

These Asian Carp you speak of do not exist, as is clearly indicated by the fact that they cannot be found on the market anywhere worldwide. Trout are of course the only fish in existence.

I propose an addendum to the vote that if passed, Asian Carp will now be classified as Trout and all other species of Trout no longer be classified as trout for the purposes of commercial fishing.

As regional delegate I am advising the nation states of the Immaterial Plane to vote no on the Recreational Drugs Compact as clause B, while unenforceable, creates a path to making Peanut Bong illegal

This proposal is 9 approvals away from quorum and has been ruled legal. Here's the full text of the proposal:

Drug Decriminalization Act

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Civil Rights

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Greater Cesnica

The General Assembly,

Understanding that punitive efforts against recreational drug use have failed,

Aware that the decriminalization of recreational drug possession and targeted rehabilitation and social programs have been demonstrated to decrease the negative societal effects associated with substance abuse,

Noting that recreational drug possession charges are a favored tool of legal authorities and governments seeking to marginalize or suppress minorities and political opposition to their governments,

Further noting that nations with rampant corruption within law enforcement authorities are often empowered by the continued criminalization of recreational drug possession to commit violence and other indignities against even non-marginalized demographics,

Unconvinced that the criminalization of individuals in possession of recreational drugs deters recidivism or recreational drug use,

Concluding that the criminalization of recreational drug possession and its resulting consequences for both those truly in possession of such drugs and those falsely accused represents both a grave injustice towards human dignity and a waste of a nation's expenditure,

Hereby:

Defines for the purposes of this resolution;

"drug" as a chemical substance which induces psychoactive effects after being consumed, where such a substance is not already considered legal for recreational consumption or a substance used for recognized medical purposes or otherwise as part of recognized sacramental purposes,

"simple drug possession" as the possession of drugs by an individual where such possession is not for the purposes of:

monetary or other forms of material gain or

providing drugs to an individual without their consent or otherwise with malicious intent,

"illicit drug possession" as any possession of drugs outside the parameters established in Articles 1(a) and 1(b),

"drug trafficking" as the illicit smuggling and/or distribution of drugs for monetary or other forms of material gain, and

"drug manufacturing" as the illicit production of drugs for monetary or other forms of material gain.

Reaffirms the right of member states to set internal policy regarding drug trafficking, drug manufacturing, illicit drug possession, and the legal distribution and production of drugs, subject to past or future World Assembly resolutions.

Requires that member states, within the bounds of any past World Assembly resolutions;

decriminalize the act of simple drug possession and

initiate a review process to re-evaluate the cases of those imprisoned and/or convicted of the act of simple drug possession in order to determine release and/or pardon eligibility given the following considerations:

the time served for the offense(s),

any separate offenses committed in addition to the act of simple drug possession,

the suitability for re-entry into societal participation,

the likelihood of recidivism in regards to other criminal activities, and

the positive benefits of receiving a full pardon for the act of simple drug possession.

Strongly urges member states to offer full, unconditional releases and/or pardons for those convicted solely for the act of simple drug possession.

I doubt anyone will have any issues with this one. I am going to give it my approval to be brought to a vote. If the other Immaterial Plane WA members disagree I will rescind my support.

Well for whatever reason it did not copy the section headings

I have also given my approval to this proposal that has been given legal status. Same thing, if the WA member states in the region disagree with this I will rescind my approval. I could see this one being ruled illegal due to not matching their standards of how proposals should be written. If it's ruled to be illegal though it just doesn't go to the floor for a vote.

Protection of Foreign Citizens act

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Civil Rights

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: The Grand Union Kingdom

No foreign citizens in another country can be deported with out a trial and must inform the citizens nation.

objection! If they're stuck in Utah that would imply forcing them to go to Beams Court, where they may win or lose their case but will definitely die. Also, for some reason "carcinizing the best hitter and then stealing them forever" is definitely a just cause from this humble crustaceans point of view, but some other, less enlightened nations, may not see it that way

The sequel to france

players aren't usually beholden to the laws of god or man, to be fair

New proposal looking for approval. Fairly simple and doesn't make the WA's job harder in the future.

Reduction of Military Weapons

A resolution to slash worldwide military spending.

Category: Global Disarmament

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: Old Hope

To promote peace, the World Assembly urges member states to reduce the amount of military weapons they own.

Completely non-binding flavor text though mechanically it will reduce all members states by a small amount. I am going to give it my approval, if the other regional member states disagree I will rescind it.

Wait, are we like? Actually playing this game seriously? I thought we were just blaseball ****posting (apparently there's a swear filter) and messing around with a dumb outdated thing.

We're playing this game in a bunch of different ways. Some people do want to take it seriously and other people just want to mess around. I am posting these here for the benefit of those who do want to take it seriously.
