Repeal "Ban Single-Hulled Tankers" A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution Category: Repeal Resolution: #11 Proposed by: Jey Description: UN Resolution #11: Ban Single-Hulled Tankers (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: All Businesses) shall be struck out and rendered null and void. Argument: The General Assembly of the United Nations, APPLAUDING the attempts of Resolution #11: "Ban Single-Hulled Tankers" to prevent serious environmental damages involving oil tanker ships; NOTING WITH REGRET that Resolution #11 makes no legislative effort to actually prevent the oil spills referenced to, only providing the rhetoric that the United Nations "must unite to ban single-hulled tankers and endorse the use of double-hulled tankers"; CONVINCED that serious environmental issues such as oil spills should be addressed by the United Nations with legislation that contains actionable language to fulfill its intent; UNDERSTANDING that it is in the interests of the United Nations to eliminate legislation that contains nothing more than rhetoric; BELIEVING that more comprehensive and effective legislation can and should be enacted to eliminate serious environmental hazards; REPEALS Resolution #11: "Ban Single-Hulled Tankers."

UN Category: Authoritarian Democracy Civil Rights: Few Economy: Powerhouse Political Freedoms: Some Location: 00000 A World Power Regional Influence: Minnow The Nationalist Christian Empire of Veianto is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed population of 4.183 billion are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively. It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Religion & Spirituality and Public Transport are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 30%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Arms Manufacturing. Genetic researchers have been expelled, the judicial system legislates morality, nudity is frowned upon, and the government covers the basic health care of its citizens. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Veianto's national animal is the Coot Rodent, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Paper Elaphant. Veianto is ranked 8th in the region and 4,438th in the world for Most Subsidized Industry. 3 hours ago: The Republic of Black Bass arrived from The Rejected Realms. 4 hours ago: The Republic of San Fran Sissyco departed this region for The East Pacific. 4 hours ago: The Dominion of New Kerplech arrived from The South Pacific. 5 hours ago: The Republic of Krytaria ceased to exist. 5 hours ago: The Democratic Republic of Juntina ceased to exist. 5 hours ago: The Empire of Thokah ceased to exist. 5 hours ago: The Allied States of KClarke ceased to exist. 6 hours ago: The Republic of domanatrix departed this region for Bay City Central Highschool. 6 hours ago: The Republic of domanatrix arrived from Bay City Central Highschool. 6 hours ago: The Republic of Conrintine arrived from Equilism.
