Salutations and the World Assembly

| WELCOME | GETTING INVOLVED | WORLD ASSEMBLY |

What is the World Assembly?

In effect, this makes it much like the real-world United Nations, but with the concept of mandatory compliance, that is, that nations cannot not abide by its legislation. The Assembly passes or defeats resolutions and in doing so, provides a statistical effect on all member nations. Those statistical effects are derived from the category of the resolution. For that reason, Social Justice resolutions generally decrease economy scores whilst Free Trade resolution generally increase economy scores.

Also, joining the World Assembly is a requirement to be able to endorse other nations.

How do I get involved in the Assembly?

The World Assembly is also a place to get involved in the game. There, you write legislation on certain topics which are interesting to you. If your proposal is not illegal and is supported by the members of the World Assembly, it will become adopted as a World Assembly resolution. You will also get an authorship badge.

If you want to be involved in the World Assembly, make sure you’ve been briefed on the rules and operations of the World Assembly (since you can be ejected from the WA for breaching those rules too many times). Involvement in the WA is a very rewarding affair, though it has a large learning curve.

What can Salutations do for me in the WA?

To pass a resolution, you must campaign for it. That means, writing a telegram to all of the Delegates of the World Assembly or perhaps, even the members of the Assembly themselves. In doing so, you have a chance to explain your reasons on why a certain proposal should be adopted or no and inform the Delegates that a proposal is up.

Salutations provides assistance on those fronts. New markesia has run a campaign, so here in Salutations, you have experience and the resources necessary to run a campaign for your resolution. With an API key and the assistance of the government, we can have your voice heard throughout the world of NationStates.

Furthermore, due to Salutations’ strength in the World Assembly, your voice in Salutations is stronger than (almost) anywhere else in the World, since we have strong interplay and integration between our Delegate and Salutations’ WA members. The Delegate votes on resolutions early and strategically, thereby swaying the voters who only vote based on who currently has a majority.

And even more, other nations in Salutations will be happy to work with you on any World Assembly projects, ironing out problems, dealing with issues, etc. before putting any proposals up on the General Assembly forum for more criticism. A word of warning, the General Assembly is quite caustic and the responses got there may be aimed at the politics of any proposal and not the text involved in that proposal.

What can I do for Salutations in the WA?

As a nation of Salutations, please vote your opinion on resolutions if at all possible. We highly recommend that you do not submit legislation in your the first few weeks in the Assembly. Instead, simply participate in debates, keep your eyes open, develop a political philosophy of some sorts, and think about what can or cannot be written. Many ideas will be thrown out for one successful resolution.

Also, since you need to be a World Assembly member to submit legislation or vote on WA proposals, please endorse the Delegate. The Delegate represents the region to the World Assembly and gets extra votes based on how many endorsements he has. Every endorsement is more power to your region in the World Assembly!
