Information:

Founded in March of 2007, A World Power was once one of the largest regions in Nationstates, and is currently re-building to its former glory! We as a region hold no specific political ideology, but nations organise themselves into Great Houses of likeminded individuals. The leaders of the three largest Houses form a Triumvirate which is responsible for leading the region. We believe in open elections for all citizens of our region and operate a one of the major defender forces in the game, which protects regions across Nationstates from invasion.

TODAYS SPOTLIGHT IS ON ILCAMH
The following is an interview between Ilcamh and an AWP Inquirer staff member;
Quote:
 
WHAT IS YOUR NS NATION NAME ?
Ilcamh

WHAT MADE YOU CHOOSE THAT NAME ?
Well, it stands for “I Love Craig Anthony Michael Hart” my boyfriend.


O.K, SO WHERE DO YOU LIVE ?
Tehachapi, CA


HOW MUCH TIME WOULD YOU SAY YOU SPEND ON THE FORUM A DAY ?
15-20 minutes


WHAT MADE YOU JOIN AWP ?
Well, a friend of mine who let me know about NS was already here.


WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE REGION ?
It’s a lot of fun, I usually just read what people say.


ANY TIPS OR SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE AWP BETTER ?
Well, I knida feel like an outsider, like there are a few really active people and that if I tried to get in then I would just be in the way.  So maybe do something that makes it feel more open and inviting, I guess.

IF YOU WERE STRANDED ON A DESERT ISLAND WITH ONLY 1 OBJECT, WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHY ?
A satellite phone so I could get off of it!


GOT ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAY TO YOUR FELLOW AWPers?
Umm… hi.

The AWP Inquirer staff thanks you for your time.

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.

Quote:
 
AS THE DELEGATE, WHAT ARE YOUR DUTIES TO THE REGION ?

First of all, thank you for this chance. It gives everyone in A World Power a chance to become involved a bit more in the daily dealings of the region.
As I understand it the role of the UN Delegate in A World Power is to act as facilitator for the activities going on in the region. I encourage people to join in the debate of any idea and join in an active role whenever possible.

WERE YOU DULY ELECTED TO THIS POSITION ?

Yes, there was a call for elections from Neasmyrna and, to my own surprise, I was elected. I didn't actually propose myself as Candidate but I accepted the position the moment I got it.
I do have some experience as UN delegate in other regions such as Paradise Beaches (mostly dormant now), the now extinct Paradise Beaches, and Egypt. Typoon Lagoon was the biggest region I've presided as delegate with around 175 nations the moment I 'inherited' the region.

ARE YOU IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE, A STAFF OF SOME SORT ?

Yes. There are many initiatives going on in the region that any nation should consider joining. In particular, I would like to get some help building the Foreign Ministry. Basically, build up lobby to submit one UN proposal and actually get it approved. I will take advantage of this interview to call the attention of anyone interested to the proposal 'A light solution'. Check our forums for more information.


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.
