Good day everyone,

it's a bit late to talk about Z-day, the annual zombie event. I am doing a survey for an article for a regional newspaper on what well-performing regions had in common. So lets get to the questions:

How would you rate your region's Z-day performance, on a scale of 1 to 5?

Did you have something like central nuclear command, and did people follow it a lot?

How populous was your region last Z-day?

Any Additional Answers are welcome and needed ^-^

Goodbye and have a nice day!

-Somebody.

It went so well that despite being absent almost all of Z-Day I had my entire population cured for me before I even made my own Cure missiles! (Forgot to add my rating lol 5/5)

Welcome again <3

I'm getting a bit self-conscious that all of my GA takes are becoming too similar, but here we go anyway lol.

Protected Working Leave

Proposal: (page=UN_view_proposal/id=cretox_state_1606540208)
Thread: (viewtopic.php?f=9&t=489404)

I mean, I guess the most positive thing I can say about this is that it's a good subject to protect? But, like pretty much everything I've read from Cretox lately (and a few other GA authors who have been spamming proposals), it's weak and highly exploitable. I'm getting a bit frustrated by what I see to be a decline in quality of GA resolutions over the past six or eight months, especially since they keep getting away with it due to an overwhelming number of voters who are happy to rubber stamp things.

So let me stop complaining and show what I'm talking about, I guess:

(2) Declares that member nations must provide workers who request such with a reasonable duration of paid leave to the extent necessary to adequately service any of the following conditions:

(4,a) give their employer reasonable notice in the event of a foreseeable birth or adoption; and

Reasonable seems to be the new watchword for the GA, as it's the most acceptable stand-in for actually providing any figures or solid ideas. The word is never defined and no limits are placed on this. It's so easily exploitable by the company to just say certain amounts of time aren't reasonable, and the text of the proposal supports that. The fact that people in the forum seem to focus all their negative attention on things they IC don't care for and let dozens of proposals with massive, glaring loopholes through mostly uncontested is grating.
