start a thread for your nation in the regionals... pm some people, tell them to PM other people.

lets try and get this thing to be as representitive of the actual population as possible.

and lets try make a rule... dont bother about voting or attempting to be a diplomat for a nation that you dont have over the top of your little name.

Are we having one representative for the whole UK or splitting it into England, Wales, Scotland and N. Ireland?

May as well volunteer. Could be fun. Let's see, a country yet to be chosen... barring out a daring leadership coup against Lord of War to rule the land of kangaroos and hats of cork, that is. What would be interesting?

Ah, just give me something that needs doing.

Other than representating state, can you also have political chambers ? Such as bodies that regulate a certain delegate based on their economy, political structure and ideology? (I swore I wanted to suggest territory but in that case might have started an Empire instead)

And oh...shall we include non state political bodies ? Communes or independent communities...

Possibly delegating the future Socialist Indonesia.

Anybody represent the Oceania by the way?

ok the nations we have on the member map: ARgentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, CHile, CHina, Croatia, Czech's, DEnmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Italy, JApan, sth Korea, Kuwait, MAlta, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, POland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Serbia montenegro, Singapore, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, TAiwan, UK, US, VAtican City.

these are the nations we should do first seeing as those are the ones with members, the other missing larger nations can be filled in later.

Malta? Hong Kong? Iceland? Not exactly big players on the international scene.

Yet no Iran, North Korea, Venezeula, Cuba, or any of the other worthwhile anti-US nations... 

No Pakistan, Afghanistan, India...

No south-east asian countries other than Singapore...

Not a good selection, to be honest. It would be better to ignore the member map IMO, it's too limited. The one benefit it brings is a little flag, and there are plenty of ways of getting little flags.


and lets try make a rule... dont bother about voting or attempting to be a diplomat for a nation that you dont have over the top of your little name.

Not likely to get a very wide spread of representation from that either. We've got a few members from other nations scattered around, but most members are US, British, Canadian, New Zealander or Australian.

And again, doing it this way practically guarantees that the countries that make things interesting in the real world don't get a look in.

Well rather than the member map (which I agree with Lom as being limited....Indonesi an here.) I suggest we use our nation flag as our avatar. Might be better and opens up a door of possibilities for those who would want to represent non existent nations/microstates ?

I'll happily represent an "unpopular" nation. Like Lom, there's more fun and interest in representing a nation you're not from. More research potential as well.

I agree. I'll run for Iceland. I like Iceland. Unless someone who's from Iceland pipes in. In which case I'll retire.

Well I already said I'd take Switzerland.

The useless beslubbers are totally neutral anyway so it's not like I have to do much other than abstain from all the votes. :D

Seriously though....they were the first nation to openly critisize Isreal over the last little incident in Lebannon. And I do at least live here and know a fair bit about them.

Having that other guy (chaosoxomega) as U.S. diplomat would be too close to the real thing...

I hereby swear that as a representative of the United States, I will not go barging into other members sovreign space, even if I think they are harboring made-up weapons of mass destruction. I hearby swear to not condemn other countires systems of government, even though deep down I may have a seriously delusional superiority complex about my country's place in the world. I hearby swear to shut the hell up and listen to the other members of the assembly, except when they say that my president smells like sulphur (I suspect he smells more like Old Spice and reeks of corruption, but I digress)

And as a final note, I will be nothing like John Bolton, because he is a royal d___.

Seriously, part of what I really like about this space is talking to people from all over the world. That and I work odd hours, so I tend to be awake when the Aussies and the N.Z. folks are up. Sounds like a good idea, although I'm not sure what the structure is...a forum to debate issues based on your country's interest perhaps? A reasonable approach to non-proliferation? A world wide Utopia of paradise on Earth?

Well, maybe not. But I'm in for the US of A.

No you aren't, I got to the call first, therefore I am the representitive.

What i am saying is that the UN is crap, and in order to prove how crap it is we have to follow the rules of the UN, but prove that the people are the problem, not the system. That's what I am saying. Way to put words in my mouth. Besides, we can always vote on changing the UN policies and the like.

I love this idea and support it entirely. I am NOT putting my name forward to represent the US cause there are far smarter and far more aware people out there than I.

Though I do have one question, most likely already answered, but I am going to ask regardless. I apologize if it has.

How many different councils are there? Just a Generally Assembly, or (depending on support) will we have more?

Again, sorry if it has been asked already.

While I am at it, past UN discussions have brought up the title of a book. It was about how effective the UN has been. It was called "Queen Bee" or something to that effect. Could someone help. I wanted to go find it but had no idea where to start. Thanks, if you can help me.
