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.

Welcome to A World Power!

Our forum acts as the hub of our community, and is where our Government, Citizens Assembly, and Regional Defence Force are coordinated. But it's not all serious business! The legendary Rucket Park is full of polls, spam games and nonsense chat, our Role Playing Pavilion is the place for all your roleplaying needs, and the A World Power Center is where we get to know each other.

Thursday-A light snow will fall across the land covering forming slicks of ice so be cautious when outside. High of 35 low of 32.

Friday-The snow will start to fall heavier towards the afternoon and start to get thicker, ice is still a big concern. High of 32 low of 39.

Saturday-The snow fall will stay the same though what is already on the ground will be freezing over making it a crazy fun time to bust out a sled but people in cars should be wary. High of 29 low of 27.

Sunday-The snow will stop, the clouds will clear, and Mr. Sun will shine his face again helping to get these icy conditions under control. High of 36 low of 31.

Monday-The sun will yet a gain be shining in full force helping to curb the terrible ice slicks that are throughout the area especially on the roads. Some clouds will be moving in the area come nightfall. High of 34 low of 28.

Tuesday-More clouds will be covering the sky blocking a lot of the sun's beams, however, ther will not be any snowfall and the decent temperatures should prevent a major more ice from forming. High of 35 low of 31.

Wednesday-The snow will start to fall again, however, ice slicks shouldn't be as prevalent this time though we still advise caution. High of 34 low of 29.

The following resolution is being debated by the UN.

Repeal "Humanitarian Intervention"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal
Resolution: #92
Proposed by: Omigodtheykilledkenny

Description: UN Resolution #92: Humanitarian Intervention (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: This Assembly, having convened to reconsider its adoption of UN Resolution #92: Humanitarian Intervention, observes the following:

1. The United Nations through past legislation condemns in the strongest possible terms egregious human-rights violations such as genocide, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity;

2. The United Nations is committed to enforcing relevant legislation expressly forbidding such offenses by member states;

3. The United Nations is not necessarily opposed to international interventions with a humanitarian purpose, but does fear that UN involvement in military operations as stipulated by Resolution #92 is inappropriate;

4. The United Nations expresses strong concerns over the serious flaws evident in the remit of Humanitarian Intervention, specifically:

- that it permits the United Nations to authorize offensive actions against member states, in contradiction of the UN's long-held tradition of strict neutrality in international theaters of conflict;

- that it subjects the territorial sovereignty and integrity of member states to a vote by a panel of unaccountable UN diplomats, allowing the United Nations to disregard member states' said sovereignty at the request of two or more nations;

- that it allows the United Nations to authorize interventions in non-member states, who are decidedly outside UN jurisdiction and are under no obligation to uphold UN mandates, however beneficial or well-intentioned;

- that it grants the overseeing panel unlimited powers to meddle in the planning and execution of intervention operations, greatly impeding their effectiveness and likelihood of success.

Whereas:

This Assembly considers the above-cited flaws to constitute a serious overreach of the mandate of the United Nations to protect international human rights;

This Assembly in particular strongly condemns this act's attempt to enforce UN dictates on non-member states;

This Assembly reassures its members that the enforcement of UN proscriptions against human-rights violations by member states will continue, even in the absence of an intervention accord;

This Assembly is convinced that nations finding cause to intervene in cases of grave human-rights abuses committed in other countries will do so, with or without a UN permission slip:

Be it therefore resolved:

1. UN Resolution #92: Humanitarian Intervention is hereby repealed.

Votes For: 3,173

Votes Against: 1,953

Voting Ends: Sat Mar 1 2008

Greekamerican Interview

Quote:
 
Hi Greek, so you brought Neas to NationStates, how did you find out about it and why did you think you should tell him about it?

Well, I was on a forum for Age of Empires III and was very involved, someone posted about NS so I tried it, I thought it was cool, Nea saw me doing it and at first he said, "Oh, that's dumb!" then I convinced him to try it and he did and apparently he liked it.

What experience would you bring to the Southern Senator position and how will that help you if you win?

If I win the Senator election I would bring about a years experience in the NS world and since I have been "traveling" as minister of Foreign Affairs, I have seen different governments and how they work.

What will be your priority in office if you became senator?

Well, I would really like to expand our foreign office, open up some embassies in places such as Texas, Hampshire, all those regions, and pass a bill "Expanding our relations" Maybe ally with other defenders, and try to get other regions into the defending role.

Outside of NationStates, what are your main interests?

Umm... video games...  I do school a lot, I don't like it though.. I like to play baseball and football (American) and basketball.

Can we see a picture of your cat?

That's random... I guess I could try to get one on the internet...

Do you have anything else to add?

Hatesmanville Interview

Hi Nitty, you've been in AWP a long time, how did you come to join the region and how come you're still here?

I joined in June 2007 with another nation called "Deriliscious". I actually found this region when I was in 10KI, where as I looked in a lot of boards and then I found this region somewhere in there,

The reason I'm still here is... well... why should I leave? the people here are too great for that

Why are you running for Southern Senator and what do you think you would bring to the Senate?

I am running for the Southern Senator because, I have always supported South in nearly everything I can support in, and, I wanted an oppertunity not just to support the South... but actually be the South.

I think I can bring more activeness and fun to AWP because I am the kinda guy. I'll try and get all the new members to the forum and direct where to post, and where not to post, and also more importantly, How to post without it seeming like spam

What will be your priority in office if you became senator?

My major priority actually is the UN, I want to make the delegate have 100 endorsements by the end of the term.


What else do you get up to on NationStates? What other roles do you have?

Lots and lots and lots of spam  also some political interest in some regions, where as I married a King in Hampshire but then got divorced after CTE.

Who's your favorate band/artist?

.... Panic at the Disco were... but My Chemical Romance tops the charts


Do you have anything else to add?

I need to slap you with a suit for not complimenting the cartoons!
"Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything — you can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." ~ Robert A. Heinlein
