U.N. Category: Democratic Socailists Civil Rights: Average Economy: Reasonable Political Freedoms: Average Location: 00000 A World Power Regional Influence: Minnow The Commonwealth of Ilcamh is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning cow population. Its compassionate population of 127 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt. The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Healthcare and the Environment are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 43%, but much higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. A ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect, the government is spending millions on alternative clean-burning fuels, guns are banned, and heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste and avoid even more costly cleanup costs. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Ilcamh's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the ash. Ilcamh is ranked 168th in the region and 70,327th in the world for Largest Manufacturing Sector. ![]() There is currently no resolution at vote before the U.N. General Assembly, nor have any proposals made quorum. So for this edition we have decided to conduct an interview with our U.N. Delegate, Kelh.
We, the AWP Inquirer staff thank Kelh for taking the time to complete the interview. While no proposal has yet reached quorum, we are closely watching "Free Trade in Durable Goods" which is close to reaching quorum. Description: The General Assembly of the United Nations, RECOGNIZING the role that the trade of durable goods plays in the global economy; FURTHER RECOGNIZING the role that the sale of these goods plays in providing manufacturing jobs; NOTING the beneficial effect that these goods have on people's daily lives by making numerous home and business related activities less labour intensive, more efficient and more enjoyable; DEFINES, for the purposes of this legislation, "durable good" as a manufactured good primarily marketed to private consumers that yields services or utility over time rather than being completely used up when used once. Examples of durable goods include, but are not limited to, automobiles, home appliances, home furnishings and fixtures, business equipment and electronic equipment. HEREBY 1. ENCOURAGES the sale and/or transfer of durable goods between UN nations; 2. ENCOURAGES all nations to increase their citizens access to durable goods by creating favourable business environments for retailers who market these goods; 3. REQUIRES the elimination of protectionist devices restricting the trade of durable goods, including but not limited to tariffs, duties, subsidies, subventions and quotas, within eleven years; 4. Declares that nations may apply to the UNFTC for exemptions to clause 3 in the following cases: - to ensure the stability of industries supplying essential products (such as military equipment or other items vital to national security); - in times of severe economic crisis, where such measures are required to ensure a stable supply of durable goods; - to collect revenue for the sole purposes of economic recovery following severe collapse; ?- to prevent price dumping of goods from non-UN nations; - to suspend trading with nations at war; 5. Declares it the right of nations to impose cultural, safety, environmental, ethical or other regulations on durable goods and their manufacture, provided any such regulations are administered in a non-protectionist manner; 6. AUTHORIZES the United Nations Free Trade Commission (UNFTC) to arbitrate any trade disputes which may arise concerning the interpretation of this legislation.
