My apologies for the latency, I was out today. The candidacy period has closed for the May 2023 Regional Council elections:

  • Councillor of Foreign Affairs: There was one valid candidate and therefore Minskievian Refugees is elected by default.

  • Councillor of Operations: There was one valid candidate and therefore Falafelandia is elected by default.

    • These offices will forego an election, and they will begin their terms Monday, May 29th.

  • Councillor of World Assembly Affairs: There were no valid candidates and therefore I will act in the office's capacity via RRS 13(h) after this term's end.

  • Councillor of Culture: There were two valid candidates, which were New atlantic, and The Star Enpire.

    • An election is therefore initiated to determine the next Councillor of Culture, available here for one calendar week: https://vote.calref.ca/vote/53

didn't Uwuguaya say they wanted to run for CoFA?

Nope, they asked a bunch of questions about how it was different from WA delegate but didn't declare an intention to run.

New atlantic The Star Enpire

There was no campaigning this round, and I think that either of you would make a good culture councillor. So, in order to help me vote, I have a question!

Do you have any plans for things you'd like to do this term?

It's okay if you haven't got any detailed ideas and it's all just vibes at the moment ^.^

For what it's meant to do, it works absolutely perfectly, I can seriously see this used for some government museum thing or something, but as a person with a high appreciation of fantasy and word walls I'll give it a 6/10 review because of personal preferences.

LOL!

"Unfortunately, not enough ink was spilt on the vagaries of folkloric figures between the various states. Also would have preferred tiered subdivisions of obscure local administrative jurisdictions — not one bailiwick or chapelry to be found. Needs more examples of transcribed folk songs without any hint to the reader how the tune should go."

:P

I plan on making separate articles for each of the states once I stop procrastinating.

In regards to my current SC vote, I'll point back to my previous reason.

Sylh Alanor wrote:I'm voting against the at-vote Security Council resolution. The reason is that the same voting bloc blocking raiders from being condemned and forcing injunctions of raider-aligned regions have been shotgunning these at us constantly. If we're going to be a proper unaligned region in terms of gameplay, weighing SC takes on the merit of the writing and the good- or bad-faith motives behind them, then I feel it's only right as our regional representative to the World Assembly to vote against r/d related commends until this behaviour targetting r/d related condemns and regional punishments stop.

This will not stop me from voting for liberations when they relate to active or embassy regions (barring my one "against due to author" author) but consider it a new personal stance for the remainder of my tenure as delegate or for the remainder of the GP voting bloc propping up one side and erasing all history of the other.

Just vibes sounds about right for what's going on in my head.
But I was thinking about citybuilding. I have acquired the rules for a sort of ttrpg about collaborating on creating a city but nobody to play it with. I would like to sketch out my city, but I'm also fine with making a new one.
Alternately, another idea I had was to investigate and report on other "political simulation games." Nationstates is technicality one after all, even if a bad and boring one.
But yeah, learning how to work as a councilor is never a bad idea.

Hi friends,

With election season in full effect, it's probably become apparent that I'm not seeking reelection. My term as Councillor of World Assembly Affairs will draw to a close at the end of this election cycle. In order to make up for my silence and meet my obligations, I've prepared three things:

1) An official statement on the outgoing position of the office on the state of the World Assembly, with feedback and recommendations on how members of the region can effectively participate going forward.

Councillor of World Assembly Affairs, May 2023 Statement
(or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Cheat the System)

Hi friends. You’ve probably been wondering where I’ve been and what’s going on with Refugia’s World Assembly whatsits lately. I’m here to offer you two (2) explanations for the lapse in activity.

Recently, I’ve been engaged in an active real-world effort against a piece of legislation in my state’s senate. I’m not going to go into details, but a bill has advanced through the legislature which will have significant consequences for the field I work in, and it’s taken a fair amount of time and energy to try and find avenues to contest it. It’s frustrating to know that your arguments are sound but feel powerless to present them to the people who need to be swayed.

And really, that’s the crux of my greater absence in the WA as well: I’ve become disillusioned with the work we’ve been doing assessing World Assembly proposals knowing that it ultimately has no impact on the outcome of the vote. A lot of folks probably don’t know the ins and outs of WA politics, so indulge me for a moment. You’ve got two (2) chambers in the WA: the General Assembly and the Security Council. The GA is where members propose laws which are voted on by members, and if passed, those laws are binding (in character) for all WA member nations. And every piece of writing that goes through the GA has to be picked apart to see if it’s working correctly, whether it’s firm enough in its goals and has any loopholes and all that. What that means for your Councillor of World Assembly Affairs is that if someone wants to regulate the mineral contents of water filters, you have to go looking up how they work and what’s supposed to be in them in order to understand whether the proposal is doing its job right. When the topics at hand in the GA are so disparate, this can be a time-consuming process, and forming an opinion, articulating it, and posting it to the RMB for input is hard to stay on top of in time for it to actually come out ahead of most people’s votes.

On the other side, you’ve got the Security Council. The SC is where the SC talks about themselves. In less pithy terms, it’s a place for individuals and regions to be recognized for what they’ve done, and also occasionally for liberations and all that stuff. The SC always frustrates me because so much of it is completely incomprehensible to anyone without a bachelor’s degree in gameplay. Take the recent commendation of Kazaman: is it impressive that they aided in the development of the Holy Imperium of Nabban and its entrance to the Commonwealth? Is the negotiation of a non-aggression pact with NPO a positive development, and were they even substantially involved in it? Should someone be commendable for running an IRC server? There are no places to get easy answers to these questions without just asking people you trust or digging through forum thread after forum thread. So every time something comes to vote about whether we should condemn Snackistan because their fruit preserves launched a siege on Paraguay, it’s an exercise in archaeology to decode it to the point that a layperson can weigh in. I’ve discussed in the past NationStates’ proclivity towards creating platforms and activities for power users at the cost of casual alienation, and in my time following the SC I’ve never seen meaningful change in that department.

More to the point, my frustrations with these chambers are less because of the difficulty in following them and more because of the results. As you likely know, the delegate of a region is awarded additional weight to their vote based on the number of endorsements they hold: our own Sylh Alanor, for instance, has 218 endorsements at the time of writing, so her vote on each GA measure is worth a total of 219. (The one extra point is because everybody starts with a base value of 1.) But why do delegates vote the way they do? What caused Overthinkers, The West Pacific’s delegate, to cast their 518 votes against “Injunct England,” or The Communist Bloc’s Kethania to send ~700 votes in favour of “Voting Rights Guarantees”? These decisions don’t happen in a vacuum, and major regions may not be basing their votes solely on the veracity of the writing. NationStates gameplay politics – r/d, or raiding/defending – play a major role, with interregional agreements like the Modern Gameplay Compact contributing to high level decisions which are far outside the hands of ordinary players.

What purpose, then, do our analyses serve? We read the next thing up for a vote, figure out an opinion on it, solicit feedback, write it out, and by the time all of that is done it’s likely already at vote or just about to be. By then, all the pieces are set, all the major delegates have formed their opinions or politically acceptable courses of action, and their regions’ own WA departments have blasted out low effort voting recommendation dispatches which most of their constituents will follow without question because let’s face it, none of this is intuitive. Every person reading this almost certainly voted confusedly with the majority the first time they joined the WA because hell, if all those people dis/agree there must be something to it, right? I like analyzing the texts that come through the WA, when I have the energy for it, and I like informing people about how to read them and where they fall short, but it’s simply too low impact to feel productive in.

To this end, I’ve prepared a few things to close out my term. First, I have prepared a templatized version of the Information for Voters dispatch for use by future Councillors. That’ll be linked below, and you can click the “Raw” button at the bottom to copy the formatting and play around with it. More significantly, I’ve written the first new How Does dispatch in over two years. In case you’re not aware, How Does is Refugia’s series of helpful dispatches that explain various aspects of the website. We’ve previously published a How Does article about the World Assembly, but only in very general terms. I wanted to provide something more detailed, something that everybody here could use as a resource to get more involved not only in reading and critiquing WA legislation but in writing their own.

With this in mind, please take a look at How Does: World Assembly, Understanding and Writing. I spent a fair few hours putting this together, and while it’s still not as comprehensive as I’d like, I think it can bring value to anyone who’s been interested in the WA but not sure where to start. I’ve broken it into two sections. The first half is a primer on how to interpret World Assembly writing, which I hope will increase WA literacy and help foster more discussion. The second half is about the process of writing a piece of WA legislation, focused mainly on the General Assembly. How to start, what to do when you have an idea, how the campaigning and approval processes work, all sorts of sordid details.

Getting back to my earlier point, I think direct involvement at every step of the process is more valuable and impactful than singular opinions formed on at-vote referenda. So I’d like to encourage people to go into the World Assembly forums and use these tools to give feedback on drafts that you find interesting or feel strongly about. For instance, here’s an attempt to repeal GAR#224, “Promotion of Bee-Keeping”: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=535076 And here’s someone seeking to regulate planetary weather control: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=534843 As an environmentalist region, these are issues we care about, and you should feel free and equipped to make your voice heard in these drafting threads as well as the countless other threads and issues that are discussed. It’d be great to see more of you over there affecting change.

Additionally, I’m hopeful that the new dispatch will enable new faces to start writing in the World Assembly. So I’m leaving an open offer: the next Refugia member state who becomes a WA author will be eligible to receive a Season 2 Tzo trading card: page=deck/card=1915/season=2 It’s currently valued at 30.50 bank, but being out of print and having ceased to exist, it’s sure to skyrocket in price. Some clarifying points: this offer is only available to people who have never successfully passed a World Assembly proposal – new authors. Puppets of established authors do not count. If the prize becomes unavailable due to extenuating circumstances, a legendary card of comparable value may be substituted at my discretion.

This concludes my term as Refugia’s Councillor of World Assembly Affairs. Self-evidently, I will not be seeking reelection.

Yours,
Junitaki-cho

2) A brand new How Does article to guide aspiring authors through the process of both writing and understanding World Assembly legislation. I spent quite a while on this and I really hope it's of use to someone, so please check it out.

How Does: World Assembly, Understanding and Writing


Summary

So you want to be a World Assembly participant.

You poor, poor soul.

To start, if you have any basic questions about how the World Assembly works, check out our How Does: World Assembly dispatch which covers what it is, why it's split into two different chambers, how endorsements and delegates work, and so on. I'm writing under the assumption that you have baseline knowledge of the WA and want to get more involved. This dispatch is going to cover how to get started drafting your own WA proposal, as well as advice on how to interpret and critique the proposals written by others. I'm going to be focusing primarily on the General Assembly, because frankly I think anyone with a serious interest in SC writing probably knows more on that front than me.


How Does: Reading World Assembly Legislation

Let's start by briefly talking about how to read the stuff people write in the World Assembly. I think spending some time getting familiar with the writing of others is the best way to understand the standards and expectations of the WA, as well as recognizing pitfalls you may want to avoid.


Reading: The General Assembly

General Assembly legislation is written as law, which means it should be specific, narrow, and very clear in its demands. As a result, much of what passes through the GA is broad, vague, and hard to decipher, but by understanding the basic structure you can begin to recognize what's important. Almost all GA resolutions begin with a preamble: this is where the author writes a bunch of stuff that explains and justifies the need for their law, but the preamble will not contain any legally binding statements. These can come in several styles, but for today's lesson we'll use a currently-queued referendum by the late Magecastle Embassy Building A5, titled "Public Endangered Species Table":

Believing that a public database of endangered species would

• promote awareness regarding endangered organisms whose endangerment would otherwise be overlooked, in turn encouraging conservation action;

• help member nations tailor their conservation efforts to be more efficient, as knowledge of endangered organisms would be more available; and

• aid further research regarding endangered organisms, in turn further facilitating conservation thereof;

Excited by the further benefits of the World Assembly engaging in its own research vis-a-vis endangered species, which would facilitate member nations' own conservation and research efforts;

The World Assembly enacts as follows, subject to past World Assembly law still in force.

Note the verbiage and tense of each line - "excited," "believing," etc. This is a common style of writing in the WA, and list items frequently don't include full stops or periods. These specific stylistic choices aren't mandatory, but prospective authors do need to mind certain rules - more on those later. Following the preamble, a GA proposal will contain a series of mandates, usually in the form of a list. They'll frequently include definitions for key terms at the end of the preamble or beginning or the proposal text, and this is something to pay attention to. For instance, New Kowloon Bay's proposed "Minimum Standard of Living Act" includes the following clause:

1. Defines the “minimum standard of living”, for the purposes of this resolution, as the necessary amount of food and nutrition and adequate access to hygiene, housing, transport, and appropriate utilities and conditions of care which a person needs to live with health and dignity.

In the resolution, which aims to ensure citizens of member states are able to attain a basic standard of comfort and security, the details are crucial. Look at what's included in their definition, and take extra note of what isn't. Despite mentioning a person's need to live with health and dignity, the resolution fails to include healthcare in its standard of living. You need to be able to carry this kind of information forward through the rest of the text and remember that every subsequent use of a defined term is only as strong as the definition itself, and a bad definition can sink an entire resolution.

I'm not going to go too much deeper into the nuts and bolts of line-by-line dissection, but I do want to note the importance of mandates versus recommendations. A proposal that contains strongly worded requirements is very different from one which mostly "urges" or "recommends" or "encourages" member states to take an action. In the "Minimum Standard of Living Act," we can see a great instance of this:

2. Asserts that all member states of this Assembly must provide this minimum standard of living to those living within their territory.

3. Encourages member states to promote this guarantee via providing incentives, financial or otherwise, to companies which assist in this guarantee.

We can see that clause 2 is absolutely certain in its requirement that member governments provide the standard of living, but clause 3 only encourages. This is non-binding and acts only as a suggestion to member states rather than a piece of law, and as a result you can essentially ignore clause 3 when evaluating the actual impact of the proposal.

If you'd like some examples of this type of analysis in action, you can check out some of Refugia's Information for Voters statements which seek to make resolutions at vote grokkable. A list is compiled within the Councillor of World Assembly Affairs' dispatch.


Reading: The Security Council

As the SC isn't my area of expertise, I'm going to keep this brief and hopefully expand it with more feedback someday. Reading SC proposals is an artform and can require a lot of extra context and knowledge, and this is largely because of the SC's rule 2, the "Fourth Wall" rule. This states that SC writing must not acknowledge that NationStates is a webgame, nor can they show awareness that nations are run by individual humans IRL, etc. As a result, the Security Council is full of euphemisms for various people, places, activities, etc. These can range from the characterization of raid/defense gameplay as military conflicts to the description of trading cards as "international artwork" to creating backronyms for off-site tools and resources like IRC.

Beyond this, SC writing will rely heavily on references to past events and accomplishments which you may not be aware of. The first few paragraphs of Westinor's proposed "Commend Riemstagrad" include mentions of attacks on the region Belgium, the disappearance of Belgium's delegate Paq, ties to the region Nederland, and participation in the Global Liberation Alliance. I don't know what any of those things are and I'm not going to find out, but you might need to if you want to make an informed decision. Reading the forum thread where a proposal was drafted can be enlightening and provide further resources to learn about a candidate.


Reading: Repeals

Repeals read slightly differently than other types of resolutions because at their core they're argumentative writing. Whether it's in the GA or the SC, a repeal is going to consist of a series of claims regarding the resolution it's trying to undo. These will be written similarly to SC writing or GA preambles: lots of sentences beginning with words like "APPALLED" and "DISMAYED" and so on. Each line in a repeal is going to try and convince the reader that the law in question is flawed or otherwise unnecessary, in the case of the GA, or that the commendation or condemnation in question is undeserving or ill-conceived in the case of the SC. Let's look at sections of Gemeinschaftsland's current attempt to repeal GAR#609, "Limiting Animal Pathogens".

Aware of the need for international measures to challenge the increasingly universal problem of zoonotic disease, including regulations on the import, export, and sale of live animals and animal carcasses,

Concerned that General Assembly Resolution #609 “Limiting Animal Pathogens, ” in seeking to accomplish this worthwhile goal, is unfortunately burdened with many substantial and quite frankly unacceptable oversights, in particular:

i. Finding Clause 2d's requirement that "Any person who tests positive [for a zoonotic disease] under this paragraph may not work at any wet market until such person reliably tests negative for the same zoonotic disease" to be particularly imprudent, not only in that it does not necessarily require that the most reliable tests available be used, but also insofar as it could disbar wet market employees from such work indefinitely (if not permanently) in cases where they are unable to consistently test negative for zoonotic diseases, even when this would pose little to no risk to public health, such as:

a. Scenarios in which the only available methods of testing have an unacceptable level of accuracy and where there is a high probability of potentially devastating false diagnosis. The issue is only broadened by the lack of any provision requiring that the most reliable tests be those used. Ultimately, all kinds of wet market workers may very well find themselves unable to "reliably [test] negative for the same zoonotic disease", thus preventing them from returning to work and putting their well-being at risk.

b. Scenarios where a qualifying zoonotic infection (of which there are many) may be treated to the point of safety and nontransmissibility but remains persistent or latent in a host; infected wet market workers, despite posing no further danger to themselves or others, may find themselves unable to ever consistently receive negative test results, permanently preventing them from providing for themselves and their loved ones.

c. Situations where, even though a disease can be cured and relevant tests may be broadly accurate, the only available testing (such as serology tests) can still return positive results in the weeks, months, and even years after an infection has been effectively cured, thereby preventing afflicted wet market employees from returning to their trades for a significant, or permanent, stretch of time.

At first this might seem overwhelming, but we can look back at the resolution it's targeting to break down these claims and understand what Schafty is saying. Let's look at GAR#609's section 2(d), which the above excerpt is calling into question:

d. Every individual who works at a wet market shall be subject to random testing for any communicable zoonotic disease described in subsection (a). If a person tests positive, then every other worker at that or other wet markets who may reasonably have been exposed to the same zoonotic diseases shall be tested for each zoonotic disease which the individual worker has tested positive for. Any person who tests positive under this paragraph may not work at any wet market until such person reliably tests negative for the same zoonotic disease.

We can see here that the original resolution is trying to ensure that employees of wet markets (which are also defined earlier in this resolution) are disallowed from working when they could be transmitting "communicable zoonotic diseases" - these being diseases which are "caused by a pathogen" and which are "capable of being transmitted from a nonsapient being to a sapient being." The repeal is making the assertion that there are situations in which employees who test positively for these types of diseases may still be able to safely work without endangering the public, if for instance their nation's available testing is subpar and of low accuracy, or if the pathogen causes post-infection positive test results.

Are these arguments credible? Maybe - it seems true that there are cases like tuberculin skin tests where recovering from an illness or even just receiving the test can cause false positives down the road through other testing methods, which could prevent healthy employees from working. But it also seems prudent to note that the law in question qualifies itself by saying "until such person reliably tests negative." The standard is unclear and leaves room for the results to be interpreted differently based on whether or not certain tests are deemed reliable.


How Does: Writing General Assembly Legislation

Now that you've learned to read, you're probably eager to get in there and outdo all the other lousy authors out there. But be patient, young simplebot. Many people rush into the halls of this least august body and toss the first thing they can think of into the approval queue. You will never ever write a successful proposal this way. Only by following this handy seven (7) step guide, As Seen on Skyrail(tm), will you ensure a healthy chance of success and survival. As I mentioned earlier, I'm focusing on the General Assembly here. Certain principles of drafting will carry over to the SC, but the rules, types of resolutions, and expectations are significantly different and would require their own guide in the future.


Step One (1): Have an Idea

"But Nat," you interrupt, "I have tons of ideas! Tonnes, even! I'm going to skip ahead to the next section!" Skip no more, nimble fool. A bad idea makes a bad referendum. Ensuring that your core notion is viable is of the utmost importance.

The first thing you want to consider is whether your idea is allowed by the rules. Those rules are available at this very link, but they're pretty badly written so I'll hit the high points for you. You can't write in first person, nor can you write from the perspective of your own nation. You can't contradict existing WA resolutions; if your idea is at odds with something that's on the books, you're going to have to get that repealed and convince people yours is better. There are no amendments or revisions in the WA. You can't include real world references, such as political parties, existing real life nations, major historical events, etc. You can't impose any restrictions or laws on non-WA nations. You can't make direct references to NationStates itself or out of character components of it. And you most definitely very much cannot plagiarize, either from other users, from previously passed or repealed resolutions, or from real world laws. Oh, and your proposal has to actually do something, it can't be a feel good acknowledgement with no mandates.

The one other thing to consider is that your idea should be applicable to people's non-human nation concepts - a common benchmark is whether your writing would apply to someone such as Potted Plants United, a nation whose lore involves them being a bunch of sentient potted plants. This means you usually can't get away with direct references to human anatomy and physiology, lifespans, sizes, etc., and should try to tailor your work around broader benchmarks which could apply even to a country run by otters on a moon.

Now that first rule I mentioned is probably the most important: you can't contradict currently active legislation. But how can you find out whether that's the case? This handy forum thread, from local encyclopedia Inglorium Anglorium, contains a directory with the full text of every GA resolution that's ever been passed. This is invaluable, and your first stop once you have a concept should be to search every related term you can think of and read all the relevant laws currently on the books. For example, if you want to regulate the logging industry, you might find that GAR#422, "Promoting Sustainable Timber," is relevant to your needs - and you'll note that it was immediately repealed, making it something worth considering but not necessary to write around. On the other hand, any future regulation of collective punishment hinges on being compatible with GAR#611. It seems daunting at first, but skimming through for relevant writing doesn't take that long and it's best to get it done early before you've invested significant time in writing.

Additionally, you can look up real world laws on your subject to see how actual lawmakers have navigated the same issues. You can't plagiarize - and that includes simple rewordings of existing texts - but you can synthesize these ideas with yours to get a better informed idea of how to approach the topic.

I want to touch on one other wrinkle here: the rules for writing repeals. Obviously if your idea is to repeal something, you've got something pretty concrete to work towards. You should still read similar resolutions to help bolster your case, but you should also be aware of the Honest Mistake rule, which basically means you're not allowed to outright misrepresent the text or outcome of the resolution you're repealing unless the GA Secretariat likes you.


Step Two (2): Write Some Stuff

Now, you just take everything you've learned and put it into words! It sounds simple, and it's not at all really because writing is hard. Remember what we talked about earlier when discussing the basic structure of GA writing (see: Reading: The General Assembly). Your draft will start with a preamble where you make your case. When I was cowriting GAR#543, "Protecting the Rights of Labour Unions," we ended up with a fairly short one:

Believing that the ability for workers to advocate for fair and equitable treatment is of vital importance,

Acknowledging the imbalance of power between workers and employers,

Avowing that detailed mandates are necessary to protect workers' rights,

Hereby:

You can see a couple of common applications for preambles here: you're laying out basic facts that act as the foundation for your case - for instance, that bosses and subordinate workers have fundamentally different amounts and types of power in the work force. Sometimes you'll also work in a concession clause, where you acknowledge the opposition or risks. Preambles are all political theatre, and you'll certainly revise it over time. The "hereby" at the end is to transition into the body text, which is laid out as a list of instructions the GA is issuing to its members. There are other constructions you can use instead, but this method is one of the most common and a good place to start while you're learning.

As discussed before, the body text is traditionally list-formatted. If you have terms that need to be defined - this is done sometimes for clarity, if you're leaning on a term like "labour union" that can have multiple meanings, and sometimes for space if you need to shorten a lengthy phrase that appears a lot - those definitions will usually come first, so everybody understands things going forward. After that, clear, concise language stating what's going to happen. Really the best way to understand this is to model it after existing resolutions. You need to remember that you're giving mandates, not suggestions, so you want concrete language. A good example can be seen in GAR#508, "Restrictions on Forced Eugenics," written by Maowi:

Subject to its previous, extant legislation, the World Assembly hereby:

1. Forbids member states, or the governments of any political subdivision thereof, from incentivising the genetic modification of any sapient offspring prior to their birth, except for incentivising the remedy or elimination of disorders, disabilities, or diseases;

2. Prohibits any individual or entity from genetically modifying or commanding the genetic modification of sapient offspring prior to their birth without the informed consent of the offspring's legal guardians; and

3. Forbids any individual or entity from compelling, forcing, or coercing a legal guardian to give consent to the genetic modification of their offspring prior to their birth.

Some resolutions will involve the creation of committees. If a committee is created, it must serve to facilitate the mandates you're setting out, it can't simply exist for the sake of bureaucracy. GAR#397 is one example of how a committee can be implemented with clear goals and duties which interlock with the responsibilities of the member states.

Many times, resolutions will be written by more than one person. Maybe you and a friend both decided at the outset to work together, or maybe somebody later in the process gave you enough suggestions that they had a significant hand in its creation. In these cases, you'd list them as a co-author. You'd note this in the forum thread (see below) and also list them as such when you submit the final version (see further below).


Step Three (3): Post a Drafting Thread

You didn't think just writing everything out was the end of it, did you? No, my friend, a proposal written only by yourself will get you nowhere. You need to sink into the tar pits of the forums and post your draft to the General Assembly forum as its own thread. This is where proposals live while they're being worked on, and anyone can drop in and give their thoughts on anything currently in progress. If you want to get involved, you can put your sharp new reading skills to work - you did read the section on reading, right? - and provide input on other people's drafts.

The forums can be a pretty harsh place with very strongly opinionated members, and the feedback you receive on your thread will likely be strongly worded and possibly written obnoxiously "in character" by other people's diplomats. Some of this feedback is going to be ideologically opposed to your entire idea, and can often be discarded. But much of what you'll receive will be worth taking to heart, both because new perspectives can expose oversights and shortcomings in your thinking and because at the end of the day, you need public approval to win a vote. Sometimes that means making concessions on your goals in order to accomplish what you can. Talking on the forums is also a good way to find out about overlapping resolutions you may have missed, similar drafts currently in progress, etc. As you discuss and receive feedback, you'll revise your draft over time, bringing it more in line with what people are willing to vote for and hopefully making it more focused and effective in the process. Remember, you're new here, and if everybody is telling you you're doing something wrong, you should probably listen to them.

Here in Refugia, we have a number of members with extensive World Assembly experience, and I strongly encourage you to discuss your idea with the region early and often, especially once you have a thread up. Getting advice from your regionmates can be a boon, and having the delegate on your side ensures an approval when it's submitted (see below) and hopefully an early positive vote when voting begins (see further below).

Drafting is a long process. You should let it cook for several weeks during this time, coming back and rereading it yourself after time away to view it with fresh eyes and seriously considering every outside opinion you get. Many proposals spend months being iterated upon on the forums before they're ready for submission. The longer you spend crafting a resolution, the more likely it is to pass at vote.

Speaking of which...


Step Four (4): Draft Some More

Seriously, really take your time with this. Just because there weren't a bunch of big pop out boxes in the last section full of quotes doesn't mean it's not important. Every new version you draft should be edited into your forum thread so people can continue to comment on the newest changes.


Step Five (5): Submit Your Proposal

Welcome back! It's been many moons since I've seen you, and you should probably get a haircut, but first let's talk about submitting your final draft to the World Assembly. Usually you'll want to inform people in your drafting thread that you're planning to submit soon, to give them a chance for some last minute criticism. When the time comes, you'll go to this page right here, select the chamber you're writing for, put in your final resolution text with all the fancy formatting and whatnot, list your co-authors, and FLAM! You've submitted a proposal! Good job!

...Of course, that doesn't mean it's over. Oh no, your long national nightmare is only just beginning.


Step Six (6): Campaigning

See, not just any old resolution that gets submitted gets voted on. In order for yours to reach the floor of the World Assembly and receive a sitewide vote, it needs approvals. World Assembly Delegates - those are the people with the most endorsements in a given region, remember - have the power to approve proposals that are in the queue. If 6% of the site's delegates - regardless of their voting power - approve a proposal, it reaches quorum and becomes eligible to be sent for a vote. This means you need to tell those delegates that your proposal exists and that it's good, actually, and deserves their approval.

To accomplish this, you're going to want to use the telegram system. You have two options: you can create batches of telegrams to send out by hand, entering each recipient's name manually; or you can send a message to the delegate tag and have it go to everybody at once. For this option you'll need stamps, which means paying some of your hard-earned money to NationStates: 1 stamp == 1 recipient, and you can get 1,000 stamps for $1 USD. If you come up a few stamps short, you can manually exclude specific delegates from your message, maybe people who are inactive or who you think will be unlikely to support it.

But what should your telegram say? A good campaign is short, polite, and easy for the recipient to deal with. This is not the venue for you to make a long-winded case for your idea. Nobody will read it and you'll be disappointed. Here's a sample I might use for a currently fictitious proposal:

World Assembly Delegates,

I'm writing to ask for your approval on Condemn Snackistan. For too long this bad apple has spoiled the bunch, raiding The Refrigerator and occupying The Orchard amid their many other rotten exploits. Please allow this menace to be properly sanctioned by our so incredibly august chamber by bringing this matter to a vote.

You can view and approve the proposal here:

[THIS IS WHERE THE LINK GOES]

Thank you,
[SIGNATURE]

It makes a very tidy summary of the claims which are substantiated in the full proposal and asks the reader not to agree with it, but to acknowledge that it's worthy of being voted upon. And it offers a direct link for the delegate to click on without having to go digging for your page, which makes it easier for them to click approve and move on.

One more important note: you must mark your telegram as a campaign telegram when you're preparing to send it. Sending campaigns that aren't registered as such is against site rules and will get you in trouble and nobody will like you.


Step Seven (7): Going to a Vote

So you've written your idea into reality, honed it, submitted it, and convinced a bunch of other people that it's pretty decent. Now what happens? Well, NationStates updates its site twice a day, at 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. Pacific time. At these times, if there's no proposal currently at vote in the chamber, or if a proposal's voting period is ending at that time, the site will pull the next submission which is currently at quorum and place it at vote. When there are multiple proposals at quorum, it'll be chronological by date of submission: the further back it is in the proposals page, the further back in line it is.

When the site update happens and your proposal finally reaches the floor, it'll enjoy a voting period of 96 hours. But the initial few minutes can be important: many regulars will try to be there to get their votes in early to affect the public perception. More casual users are often inclined to vote with the majority, so having an early showing can get you additional support. Letting your delegate know when your proposal is expected to be at vote means they may be able to log on and give it some early help.

Once the vote is underway... well, usually you just wait and fret over what's happening. Occasionally a telegram may be sent out by opposition arguing against it, and you may decide it's worth sending out your own response to this, but this is somewhat uncommon and runs the risk of fatiguing your audience to the point of apathy. For the most part, you just watch the results roll in and see whether you've pulled it off. If you have, congratulations! It's a lot of work to write one of these things and getting it on the books is a cool accomplishment. If it ends up getting voted down, don't feel too downtrodden. You can always go back to the drawing board and try to rewrite it to try again.


Phew, that's a lot. There are a bunch of things that I missed here, like the entire Security Council, how to handle legality challenges, why some people insist on writing the most obtuse in-character forum posts when all you want is some goddamn input on your moss regulations, etc. But I hope this helps a few folks get started in what's generally a very daunting aspect of the site. I'd love to see other folks chip in and expand this to become more comprehensive, and maybe I'll come back in the future and do some more, but for now I'd just like to thank today's sponsor, Flit Cola, for making this possible, and ask you guys to hit that like button and subscribe, it really helps the nation out.

Wow, this is definitely one of the best summations of the WA process I've seen! I'm personally of the opinion that our mind-numbing fantasy legislation is narrowly less insane than real life legislation, but that's some thorough work to have done. Major props, I think that's a must read for new or ambitious WA nations from any region.

I can try to get a little more into some of the mess that is security council politics if anyone is unsure or wants to learn more, since this dispatch mostly revolves around WA proposals. I'm still no expert and honestly, every individual nomination needs different game experience to properly analyse the worth of, but having spent half a decade in Europeia, (which I swear roughly 50% of commendations involve) I've got a fair level of knowledge. I think that dispatch plus our delegate's recent position (vote for things that make a region actually habitable for people who want to be there, screw stuff in favour of defender nations until they stop hogging the table) sums stuff up to the level anyone of sound mind should bother with, though.

Thank you! I'd definitely be up for expanding it to include more detail and a section on the SC if you and some of the other local experts wanted to work on something. I've never been able to get invested in the narratives of it, myself, and incidentally I think I would have tried harder if there'd been readily available resources to refer to.

New Ras is unsurprised by this revolt, but urges fellow member states of Refugia to tread cautiously and remain neutral in the Jazuri Revolt.

New Rasian Council
Statement on the Jazuri Situation

The New Rasian Council, henceforth referred to as NRC, has carefully navigated a complex and often tense relationship with the Jazuri State, negotiating with many of it's Sultans and Ambassadors since the NRC's establishment centuries ago. The NRC has continually pushed for progress in Jazur in a gradualist approach, strongly believing that the immense suffering under the Feudal Sultanate, would be minor compared to the scale of suffering and death in a destabilised divided Jazur. The Jazuri Revolutionary Republic has proven these fears were correct with its already sizeable death toll.

It is with all this in mind, that the NRC has decided to offer itself and it's Envoys as mediators between the Feudal Sultanate and the Revolutionary Republic. The NRC believes that more deaths can be minimised through a ceasefire and peace negotiations, with an eventual end goal of reuniting Jazur under a single state.
The NRC pleads with the international community to not take sides and remain uninvolved in the delicate and incredibly tense Jazuri Situation.

Signed by members of the New Rasian Council
