Historical Resolutions
From the rise of civilization (November 13, 2002) up until a particularly brutal collision with reality (April 1, 2008), nations toiled under the banner of the World Assembly's predecessor, an organization that now Cannot Be Named, but sounded a lot like "United Stations." Although this grand institution is no longer, its incomparable volume of law shall stand forever.

HISTORICAL RESOLUTION #11 * REPEALED *Ban Single-Hulled TankersA resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry. | ||
Category: Environmental |
Industry Affected: All Businesses |
Proposed by: The imperial senators |
Description: Ban Single-Hulled Tankers! Leaky single-hulled tanker ships can cause enormous environmental damage and cost millions of dollars to clean up. Millions of barrels of crude oil are lost to the oil-hungry nations of the world. We must unite to ban single-hulled tankers and endorse the use of double-hulled tankers. This would prevent environmental disasters like the one caused by the damaged tanker off the coast of Spain in 2002 and help lower the cost of fuel as more would be reliably available to every nation. It would also be a boon to fishing, tourism, and shipbuilding industries. Votes For: 16,664 Implemented: Mon Apr 28 2003
