Happy WA Wednesday! Hopefully. Been busy today, so I hope it's still Wednesday wherever you are on the globe! 😅 As per usual:
• Make sure to keep up with endorsements with the /swap command over on our Discord, the registry, or tart.calref.ca
• Ensure you're up-to-date and over 75% at page=ga_compliance
• Check out last week's NWWA here
Thanks, and I hope you have a great rest of your week! Friday is fast approaching. Let's make it a good one!

You can say that again friend with being busy my friend. It is sometimes difficult to count all on one hand what can or will occur during a day. I have even considering constructing an additional robotic limb to aid even further in such tasks but it would only weigh me down with additional weight.

Perhaps a short walk would do me better to clear the head? Ha! If I can sing more clearly in the rain that hovers over.

Happy Friday! Today's NWitWA is out now. I hope you've had a good week and have a great weekend. Thank you all!

From the Desk of Second Minister Elizabeth Carat

Welcome back, friends! Another week, another Friday, another dispatch from yours truly. For the first time in Volume IV's history, we don't have any GA proposals on the radar. We have at vote, up next, and nothing else. There's a literal hundred-approval gap between the up next and the runner-up proposals. Absolutely mad! Anyhow, we have no time to waste, so let's jump right into a uniquely empty GA!

General Assembly

AT VOTE: Spectrum Coordination and Allocation Act

Quick Facts:

Mayor's Recommendation: FOR

Stat Impacts:
Up: Industry: Information Technology, Income Equality, Scientific Advancement
Down: Primitiveness, Averageness, Economy

Oh. Well, this is a stinker... I already covered this one. If you'd like, you can read my thoughts on it in a good bit more depth in last week's issue at this link, but long story short, this one's a bit odd chronologically but nonetheless great. FOR!


UP NEXT: Space Transport and Astronomical Research

This one is fantastic! Space? Yep! Effective and well-defined safety regulations? You betcha. Respecting natural sovereignty? Absolutely. Space? Yep! Good definitions and clear intentions? Duh! Space? Yep! Space? Yep! Space? Yep! FOR!


Security Council

AT VOTE: Commend The Kytler Peninsulae

Author: Mammoth Cave
Co-Author(s): Islandwalk
Current Worldwide Leaning: 8,090-1,190 FOR
Current Regional Leaning: 11-0 FOR
Secretary Recommendations: 2-0 FOR
Mayor's Recommendation: N/A
Nominee: The New Meritocracy

Wowie, another non-repeal! Is it Christmas? So, I'm going to be honest. I know nothing about TNM. But from what I've now read, I'm not entirely sure I like what I see. It seems like a place of ancient absolute NatSovism. But I'm not entirely sure that's the reason I don't really like this proposal. It makes a good case for its target, but I'm really not confident we should be commending highly inactive, three-nation, delegateless regions with CTEd, antiquity-founded governors. It's a well-written proposal with good justifications, but I don't think it's a worthy nominee. This is, I believe, a first for me... I'm giving it a NEUTRAL.


And that's everything for tonight! I hope you've had a splendid week, and I'll see you on Wednesday when I ping you all again to remind you to endorse each other. Have a lovely weekend, Ridgefield!

Ah, to be flushing away the weekend in brief determination of the working shifts. I would offer my thanks instead of more news and am looking forward to space transportation at current vote.

It gives me hope for the future of my country and as I look back, I happen to wonder how exactly I have found myself in the situation that I am in. My secretary tells me that my "long standing regime" of being re-elected consistently has created both a happy and yet blunt populace.

How does one judge when you're people are in both the top .6% in the world of being rude but also the top 2% of niceness and top 3% of compassion? Perhaps allowing augmentation so freely has lead us to a more "blunt" and almost robotic like responses. Even my secretary has taken to wearing more "free" outfits as we have crossed into the top 6% of Nudity and I am carefully rationalizing this as a way to have better access to cooling upgrades.

So I ask my fellow neighbors, do you also find something amusing of the little quirks of your people according to the census rankings?

Cheers my friends, even if it is fairly late on a Tuesday(or it is still for me).

Give a heartly congratulations to Foert would you please? They're the new nation of the week

Nation of the Week


Salutations friends and may the day bring you warmth. On behalf of the cultural office, I will be declaring the nation of the week by rigorous juggling of magical eight balls. After only managing to hold onto three of them for the number 24,and by using the weapons manufactoring regional ranking, it is Foert. What does juggling eight balls have to do with weapons? Sometimes weapon firing tests are best left to chance with proper safety ofcourse. As far as culture, well fireworks explode after all. Just be mindful of how much powder you use. Congratulations friend, may you keep all your digits and celebrate wisely with this new recognition.

As far as the question of the week friends, I ask you, would you ever be willing to go spelunking into the depths of the earth and why or why not?

Congrats Foert!!

Hmm...depends on the depth. But probably not. Safety reasons, I'd be very concerned the whole time.

I would not blame you for being concerned, one never knows what lurks in the deep.

Happy WA Wednesday!
My usual spiel:
• Keep on keeping on with endorsements with the registry, tart.calref, or the /swap command over on Discord
• Ensure you're over 75% adoptions at page=ga_compliance
• If you missed it, read last week's NWWA here

Sorry to doublepost, but...
Happy Friday! New NWitWA. Hope you've had a good week. Thank you for reading!

Oh. Well, uhm. This sounds mean, but I feel like this one is pretty obvious. For starters, the nitpicks: it defines an acronym without stating what it stands for, and it says that having a single power plant means a nation's governed by it. That's quite the large target audience, no? Anyhow, it also says it'll audit nations for compliance, and just, never says what it'll do if they fail? Or if they're just not let in? "Please just comply with the resolution. Pretty please." I don't like this one, and I don't think I really have to say it, but AGAINST.

And we're back to repeals. At least this is a scathing, exciting, good one. It repeals a condemnation of a scummy, deceptively-alting, World Cup-stealing scoundrel. If anything, this person is worthy of a condemnation for their misdeedly actions. FOR.


And that's all for today! I hope you've had a splendid week, and I'll bug you once more in five days. Get those endorsements in, everybody! See you next week.

It is all well friend, I myself had to do so a little while back.

Although from what I'm readin acronyms are a dangerous game no? ha! It is amusing when a proposal is a little soft on compliance as well.

Cheers to the week friend and my fellow neighbors. Although, my secretary informs me that panther taming and training is neither a safe nor recommended class to be added within the school system. I suppose that is why we have checks and balances no?
