The World Assembly (WA), is the governing body of the NationStates world. Membership in the World Assembly is voluntary and decisions passed by a majority of the body must be adhered to by all members. Players may only have one nation in the World Assembly at any given time and WA members can endorse the fellow WA members of their region. The WA member with the most endorsements from their fellow region-mates assumes the role of Delegate for that region and the weight of their vote on proposals counts for one plus all of their endorsements.
The Union of Democratic States World Assembly Program ( UDSWAP) is administered by the Chancellery of the Union. The mission of the UDSWAP is to promote and reward World Assembly membership, endorsement of the Delegate, and endotarting among the WA members of the Union. In the Union, the lawful WA Delegate is appointed by the Office of the Chancellor, however, votes on proposals according to the directive of the President who is responsible for setting and executing foreign affairs policy. Increasing endorsements on the delegate serves to safeguard the region, increase native influence, and advance the Unions foreign affairs interests.
