Nation States is an uber fun simulation. You can control, micromanage, and create your own Nation, can join the UN, and even pick a region. To say the least, it's simple and time consuming. I wasn't sure to expect an Abortion Issue to pop up, but sure enough, none came, and for good reason, as of last year, The UN passed a resolution to make Abortion Legal. Everywhere. I am in the process of having this repealed, for only the most NEUTRAL of reasons: To allow a country to pursue it's own beliefs and ideals. Can you imagine if this was the Real UN? Two Words: Vatican City. Ironic? This was the exact post I made: Quote: Catergory: Repeal Strength: Significant To members and delegates of the UN, we the Holy Republic of Pikal hereby ask to make a proposal to Repeal the previously approved "Abortion Rights". The actual wording of the original Resolution: Quote: Description: Henceforth all women shall have the right to choose whether to have an abortion or not, no member nation will interfere with a woman's right to have an abortion. AFFIRMING, -that the pursuit of abortion to select countries is favorable. NOTING with Satisfaction, -the pursuit to better endow the human person with rights. DEEPLY DISTURBED, -by the fact that a country cannot legislate according to the beliefs (majority, minority or otherwise) of it's people or political goals. NOTING, -that the original Resolution does not make any attempts to disclaim the debatable personhood and individuality of the fetal entity. REQUESTS, -that the UN repeals this act for the sake of allowing each country to pursue the beliefs of its people or that of its soverign governing body. URGES, -that the UN at least repeal this act in favor of allowing a country to attain its own full self-governing (if that is the goal of a said country) goal. EMPHASIZING, -the extreme controversial natures of abortion and the unique points discussion of it brings up. I don't know why I would meet ANY opposition. Some pro-CHOICERS. I guess they don't want my country to pick what they feel is right. A little more oppressive then we once thought eh?

That's why I never joined the UN. stare I was afraid of something like that happening.
Mind you, I didn't notice that particular one, but I did see that there were a bunch of weird laws they made, that I didn't like.
Actually, I haven't been on NationStates in a long time... I suppose my country has gone and died again... sad

That's why I'd ONLY join the UN to help you. And I'm doing it with my crummy nation.

The nations of the communist alliance refuse to join the UN because of all those stupid resolutions that give no say to a country's own beliefs.

In this instance, I'm happy to see that U.N. resolutions are non-binding, and are actually quite worthless.

UN resolutions are worthless in the real world. See the Middle East for thousands of examples. In NationStates they are binding.

Darth_Ravage UN resolutions are worthless in the real world. See the Middle East for thousands of examples. In NationStates they are binding. I've thoroughly noted the differences.

Darth_Ravage UN resolutions are worthless in the real world. See the Middle East for thousands of examples. In NationStates they are binding. Alright, I'll finally respond to this... sweatdrop It all depends on how you look at it; Rules passed by the UN do make a difference, for better or worse, even if it's not on everyone. On the other hand, the UN in Nationstates only limits the kind of choices you can make. It has no real effect, except that you don't get to choose certain things. And since there are so many choices, it's unlikely that you'll ever even notice. Unless you play for, like, a year without abortion choices. What I was saying, basically, is that I wish that the UN wasn't there... I don't know why I said it that way exactly. I was probably swamped with homework, and not thinking properly.

In the real world, the UN does not much that is useful. It's not about equality. It's not even about justice. It's most influential on financial issues.
In Nation States, you can't get around the contract because you can't fool a computer.

The reason they're here is because we poured more money into it than any other country. Same reason why we're one of the permanent seat thingies.
Even though I absolutely cannot STAND what it's gotten to, being without an organization like the UN would be a step backwards.
