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.

Our region is just one shy of hitting 260 nations (as of this posting). Let's give a big round of applause to our recruiters who have been working hard to make this happen.

Neas has started a "NationSpace" area. For a few fees you can have your own "NationSpace" area started up. Check out more details in the Chamber of Commerce section.

A new political party, the Pessimistic Optimists", has just formed and are looking for new members to help bolster their ranks. If your interested check out their thread in the general discussion area.

The Minister of Immigration position is still open, for anyone curious about the position be sure to contact Neas for more details. Also the Immigration Dept. could always use a few good recruiters so if your interested be sure to ask Neas for more details and to help get you started.

Our RDF is always welcoming of members who wish to take part in the more military side of things. If your curious about the RDF and/or want to join contact Minister of Defence Numero Capitan.

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."

Votes For: 2,363

Votes Against: 1,017

The Nationalist Christian Empire of Veianto
"For God and Hannah. Death to her enemies!"

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.

Attorneys These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts. They are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters, who had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.

WITNESS: No, I just lie there.

2)ATTORNEY: What gear were you in at the moment of the impact?
WITNESS: Gucci sweats and Reeboks.

3)ATTORNEY: This myasthenia gravis, does it affect your memory at all? WITNESS: Yes.
ATTORNEY: And in what ways does it affect your memory?
WITNESS: I forget.
ATTORNEY: You forget? Can you give us an example of something you forgot?

4)ATTORNEY: What was the first thing your husband said to you that morning? WITNESS: He said, 'Where am I, Cathy?'
ATTORNEY: And why did that upset you?
WITNESS: My name is Susan!

5)ATTORNEY: Do you know if your daughter has ever been involved in voodoo? WITNESS: We both do.
ATTORNEY: Voodoo?
WITNESS: We do.
ATTORNEY: You do?
WITNESS: Yes, voodoo.

6)ATTORNEY: Now doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn't know about it until the next morning?
WITNESS: Did you actually pass the bar exam?

7)ATTORNEY: The youngest son, the twenty-one-year-old, how old is he? WITNESS: Uh, he's twenty-one.

8)ATTORNEY: Were you present when your picture was taken?
WITNESS: Are you ****t'in me?

9)ATTORNEY: So the date of conception (of the baby) was August 8th?
WITNESS: Yes.
ATTORNEY: And what were you doing at that time?
WITNESS: Uh.... I was gett'in laid!

10)ATTORNEY: She had three children, right?
WITNESS: Yes.
ATTORNEY: How many were boys?
WITNESS: None.
ATTORNEY: Were there any girls?
WITNESS: Are you kidding? Your Honor, I think I need a different attorney. Can I get a new attorney?

11)ATTORNEY: How was your first marriage terminated?
WITNESS: By death.
ATTORNEY: And by whose death was it terminated?
WITNESS: Now whose death do you suppose terminated it?

12)ATTORNEY: Can you describe the individual?
WITNESS: He was about medium height and had a beard.
ATTORNEY: Was this a male or a female?
WITNESS: Guess.

13)ATTORNEY: Is your appearance here this morning pursuant to a deposition notice which I sent to your attorney?
WITNESS: No, this is how I dress when I go to work.

14)ATTORNEY: Doctor, how many of your autopsies have you performed on dead people?
WITNESS: All my autopsies are performed on dead people. Would you like to rephrase that?

15)ATTORNEY: ALL your responses MUST be oral, OK? What school did you go to? WITNESS: Oral.

16)ATTORNEY: Do you recall the time that you examined the body?
WITNESS: The autopsy started around 8:30 p.m.
ATTORNEY: And Mr. Denton was dead at the time?
WITNESS: No, he was sitting on the table wondering why I was doing an autopsy on him!

17)ATTORNEY: Are you qualified to give a urine sample?
WITNESS: Huh....are you qualified to ask that question?

--- And the best for last: ---

18)ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.
ATTORNEY: I see, but could the patient have still been alive, ; nevertheless? WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.
