World Assembly Resolutions
Since the rise of the World Assembly from the ashes of its predecessor, the Bureaucracy That Cannot Be Named, WA member nations have worked tirelessly to improve the standard of the world. That, or tried to force other nations to be more like them. But that's just semantics.
Below is every World Assembly resolution ever passed.

Security Council Resolution # 13
Liberate Utopia
A resolution to strike down Delegate-imposed barriers to free entry in a region.
The Security Council,
Deeply Disturbed by the actions of The Alliance of Dictators, an invading organization, which captured the delegacy of Utopia by surprise on 2 December 2009,
Recalling that Utopia is a historic region, which has greatly contributed to the worlds security with its involvement in the Allied Liberation League (a defending organization),
Defining
(a) Password Grieving as an invading technique, where an invader-in-disguise hides in a region long enough to accumulate a high level of regional influence, and then becomes delegate in the founderless region to immediately establish an invisible password, and begin emptying the region of those not affiliated with their invader organization,
(b) Invisible Password as a delegate-instituted password which is required to enter a region, if the password is hidden to any resident besides the regional delegate or founder,
Gravely Concerned that password grieving has spread as a common tactic used by invaders to defeat the timely stalemate between invaders and those who seek security, stability and peace in our world,
Having Ascertained that The Alliance of Dictators, and their delegate in Utopia, Lustrous lemurs, have relied on password grieving to secure the delegacy of Utopia,
Cognizant of Acacallis and Ocean pride, two residents of Utopia (at the time of this resolutions creation), who the invader delegate has not yet been successful in ejecting and banning,
Bearing in Mind that these honorable residents have publicized their wishes for Utopia to be liberated,
Concurring with the residents of Utopia that the continued suppression of the region by The Alliance of Dictators could only have awful consequences for Utopia,
Convinced that ignoring them in their time of need would be being ungrateful to Utopia for its years of service to international peace and security,
Hereby:
1. Liberates Utopia, by removing the invisible password and barring the delegate from attempting to implement a password in the future.

Security Council Resolution # 14
Liberate Free Thought
A resolution to strike down Delegate-imposed barriers to free entry in a region.
The Security Council,
DEFINING "griefing" as any act wherein where a group of nations, not native to a region, move to it with the aim of seizing the WA Delegate position; and then, having seized this position, proceed to forcibly remove natives from the region;
BELIEVING that griefing is morally wrong, as it infringes on the right of natives to govern their own region;
AWARE that The Land of Kings and Emperors (The LKE) originally raided Free Thought on the 4th November 2009, leaving after a brief occupation which involved raising their flag over the region;
NOTING that The Land of Kings and Emperors took offence to the natives of Free Thought removing said flag, and referring to it as "that darn flag";
FURTHER NOTING that The LKE invaded Free Thought again on the 22nd December 2009, installed a secret password, and ejected The tofu islands, a native of the region;
DENOUNCING The LKE's over-reaction to harmless jibes made by Free Thought's natives about its flag;
OBSERVING that The LKE have changed the World Factbook Entry of Free Thought to read "This once rebellious region has been conquered by The Land of Kings and Emperors (The LKE) and now forms a permanent part of our continually expanding empire";
CONCLUDING that The LKE are griefing Free Thought, especially given their track record, and those of The New Inquisition and Unknown, who have also participated in the raid;
RECOGNISING that the natives of Free Thought, including Polynumina and Luna Amore, desire to have the region restored to their control;
RESOLVING that this can only be done through the intervention of the Security Council;
HEREBY Liberates Free Thought.
