Yeah, I was thinking that too, but Izaya would probably be the behind the scenes leader.

Defeated 6,106 votes to 5,198. A rather close vote, actually.

We tend to handwave a lot of the NS != RL stuff in the World Assembly. Honestly, if you tried to run a world government like the WA over an actual world(s) spanning tens of thousands of notionally independent nations with wildly different technological levels, multiple intelligent species, and off-the-wall things like "magical" nations, it simply wouldn't work. So, assuming realism is out the window, we're left with internal consistency. Things like a patent system that's being compulsorily honored by all nations can exist because the NS rules say they can.

Agreed, patents are just a system for rich nations to keep developing nations poor.

Wait, aren't patents just a way of saying I invented this & should be given credit & probably money?

The union of tentacles and grapes

Ever hear of patent trolls?
They're the dudes that rustle up FO4/HL3 hype every month or two because they file frivolous patent or copyright claims in different countries in an attempt to hold the trademarks hostage. The same thing happens in the sciences, just much less visibly to the public. in both that WA proposal and real life, systems usually place the onus on the actual inventor to demonstrate ownership, which always results in long and costly legal battles. The proposal would only have compounded the problem, forcing inventors to make a claim in international court.

The World Assembly is apparently on winter break. Nothing up for vote, nothing in the queues.

Just got the issue again about school uniforms. If we don't make it compulsory, then what are students going to wear if a zombie outbreak occurs midweek? Besides, gotta keep the fetishists content.
