REPAXAN IN NS Civil Rights: Superb Economy: All-Consuming Political Freedoms: Good Location: Shilassen Sector Gate Regional Influence: Minnow Repaxan is a UN Member The Empire of Repaxan is a huge, economically powerful nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 428 million enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases. It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Commerce, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Gambling industries. The nation has recently been attributed to the funding of terrorist organisations, abortions are routinely performed in Repaxan's hospitals, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and teenagers across the country are celebrating the defeat of a national curfew bill. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a major problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Repaxan's national animal is the trichordate, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the binary header sequence. Repaxan is ranked 22,575th in the world for Most Extreme Nations. ![]() There is currently no resolution up for vote at time of publication, however, the resolution "UNID Card Act" was defeated 7,171 votes to 2,046. The next resolution that will be up for a vote is "Spelling Alphabet and ID Codes" which has been categorized as “a resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.” It has reached quorum with 165 endorsements. Gaffa Territories of The East Pacific wrote the proposal. There are no proposals written by A World Power members that will expire this week. Remember if you are not yet a member of the UN to join and endorse our duly elected delegate, Kelh. Also, any UN member can submit a proposal, just make sure to check and see that something similar doesn't already exist and that you follow all the submittal rules. You can also suggest that an already enacted resolution be repealed if you feel it oversteps the UN's boundaries as an international entity, or simply suggest it be amended. If you are a UN nation, all resolutions affect the way your country operates, please be sure to vote here on the forum so Kelh can vote on each resolution appropriately, and accurately. Be sure to review all subsequent additions of AWP Inquirer, we will have in-depth discussions and debates on resolutions at vote.

TOP TEN TRICKS TO LIVEN UP A MEETING 1 Stand up and act indignant. Demand that the boss tell you the 'real' reason this meeting has been called. 2 Spill coffee on the conference table. Produce a little paper boat and sail it down the table. 3 During a meeting, each time the boss makes an important point, (or at least one he/she seems to consider important), make a little noise like you are building up to an orgasm. 4 Stay behind as everyone else, including the boss, leaves. Thank them for coming. 5 Give a broad wink to someone else at the table. In time, wink at everyone. Sometimes shake your head just a little, as if to indicate that the speaker is slightly crazy and everybody knows it. 6 Arrange to have a poorly-dressed young woman with an infant quietly enter the meeting, stare directly at the (male) speaker for a while, burst into tears, then leave the room. 7 Bring a hand puppet, preferably an animal. Ask it to clarify difficult points. 8 When there is a call for questions, lean back in your chair, prop your feet up on the table, smile contentedly, and say, "Well, here's the way I see it, J.B..." (or any other impressive-sounding initials that are not actually your boss's.) 9 Complain loudly that your neighbour won't stop touching you. Demand that the boss make him/her stop doing it. 10 Bring a small mountain of computer printouts to the meeting. If possible, include some old-fashioned fanfold paper for dramatic effect. Every time the speaker makes a point, pretend to check it in one of the printouts. Pretend to find substantiating evidence there. Nod vigorously, and say "uh-huh, uh-huh!"
