I really like my current city but I'd like to teleport to my favourite beach back home this evening to spend the last evening of summer by the sea. I haven't seen the Irish Sea in like 3 years and I miss it.

Any opinions on "Biomedical Donation Omnibus Act"?
Delta Vega Iv, Floofybit, Parvesha, Dimm-A-Land, Mallard
No.
Not no as in vote no, just no as in i have no gosh darn idea what to vote cx
Cheesy Tots, Typica, Floofybit, Tiralta, Istastioner, Parvesha
Looks like a good and solid proposal to me. I voted "For" (may change if convinced otherwise)
The way I understand it, they don't play Classical music, just Ambient music. I'd still go for it though.
Cheesy Tots, Typica, Floofybit, Tiralta, Parvesha
See I want to support the Biomedical Donation Omnibus Act, but Im not sure if its the best it can be. I acknowledge the importance and necessity of outlawing discrimination in blood donation, especially because of the stigmatization of certain groups in blood donation. I find it absolutely abhorrent the discrimination in blood donation. I want to support this resolution, but want to hear arguments for and against.

If you think it's good, then by all means vote "For." If you are persuaded later to vote otherwise, you can still change your vote until the voting ends. That's what I did, for the reasons you mention, with which I wholeheartedly agree.
Cheesy Tots, Typica, Floofybit, Tiralta, Parvesha, West Remeshile
heres a weird but traditional fact about ZaBruhMoment.
So, when people die, we dig them really deep after their funeral. Then put postcards about how we love them and we put their name. After millenia or so, their hard parts should turn into fossil fuel. The ZVFK (ZaBruhMoment of Vehemesht Fossil Fuel Keepers) will notify the persons family that the person turned into fossil fuel and the family will come and get the fossil fuel. Then they will pray it and then cook the persons favorite dish or Dipsalle, with the fossil fuel and the process is done.
Creepy right? But you can't argue with religion :/

I believe this will be what Ill do.

I have an issue asking me to resign from the world assembly. Just to make sure, being a member of the WA is a requirement for membership to Refugia correct?
Floofybit, Tiralta, Parvesha
Yeah, it's a requirement. That's always a dangerous issue lol.
Floofybit, Tiralta, Parvesha
yes new, (ok fine i will stop) welcome to REFUGIA! The epic region where- nvm just read the top part of this page
Sylh Alanor, Floofybit
Welcome!

THE TIME HAS COME
And what a time it is. When we started the Endotarting Competition, we were 11[sup]th[/sup] for endorsements, and now we are 3[sup]rd[/sup] in the world, a level of endorsement culture I never thought I'd ever see! Literally inspirational. We added over 5,000 endorsements to the region, and through it, and 23 nations in Refugia now have shiny new 1% badges in endorsements. In the coming months, even more people will be awarded 1% badges in influence (and faster than ever) because of this tremendous work, as the region becomes more prosperous and safe.
Additionally, I'm pleased to report the final Endotarting Competition leaderboard. The nations in BOLD have won a copy of the Season Two legendary card, Ral Ixshida:
So you might have noticed that this is slightly more than the promised 30. Sylh Alanor and I talked about it for a bit, and we didn't think it was particularly fair to cut so many people out of winnings because the competition was so tight. And since everyone did so amazingly, we're expanding the winners' circle top the top 41 nations, those who scored over 200 endorsements each. This accounts for 10% of all Season Two Ral Ixshidas that exist. Thank Em for donating the extra cards~
Congrats to the winners, you are all amazing :D If you haven't gotten your card yet, I am still sending them or your deck is full (in which case I will telegram you)

And so I appear yet again with a dastardly surprise - a discussion post for Biomedical Donation Omnibus Act! (Another surprise - its thread! Shock!)
The proposed resolution aims to cover a loophole in WA law wherein minorities can be discriminated in tissue donation. It does this first off by defining what biomedical tissue is, and then going on to establish the freedom to donate without discrimination (excluding cases wherein an individual was recently in an area with a disease outbreak). It also mandates that biomedical tissue storage should prevent contamination. Additionally, no one shall be forced to undertake a risky donation or acceptance of donor tissue without informed consent.
While I praise this resolution for its intention, I feel it suffers from a few key flaws. The first one is regarding Section 2b. - which states that nations cannot penalize an individual for donating tissue. This places the proposal in direct contrast with resolution GA#546, which states the following:
Clearly, the proposal contradicts standing law (GA#546) - which in my opinion is a good enough reason to vote against.
Another thing is that the proposal's primary concern (that GA#217 - the resolution that currently regulates most biomedical donations - allows for discrimination) may not hold merit. GA#217 has very specific wording as follows:
GA#217 makes it clear that donation discrimination cannot occur unless there is some form of valid medical reason related to the safety of the material itself. Nations can't just say "being part of X minority = valid medical reason" because that's clearly against GA#35 - that'd clearly be discrimination based on an arbitrary characteristic, and therefore illegal. Which effectively makes the proposal-at-vote not really necessary.
Thus, for these reasons, I recommend voting AGAINST "Biomedical Donation Omnibus Act".

Chacapoya, Typica, Sylh Alanor, Tiralta
I'm going to vote in favor of it, as many discriminatory medical practices described in that act are unbelievably outdated and bigoted. However, the one thing that's making me sway a little on it is how vague its "Freedom to donate" section is. "Holding or lack of any arbitrary, reductive characteristic" is an incredibly foggy description of what people have been discriminated against, and I'd like to see it expanded upon and made more specific.

Hey wan
wanna join the NLWP
I don't know, but I feel like we'd be more united if we were all Refugi and not split into parties

Just going to refer you to RRS 6, part of the Refugia Revised Statutes (aka our regional constitution) which is linked in the World Factbook (that little bio you get about us when you click on our region name):
[I]6. Member States are entitled to submit any proposal, amendment, repeal, or revision to any revised statute, including this document in its entirety. Votes must be easily accessible and include the option to abstain. Only one vote is allotted to each Member State per referendum.
Any nation who is both in the World Assembly and has resided here for 7 days can already put forward a proposal if there's anything they want to change in Refugia already.
Chacapoya, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Floofybit, Jazur
uh sure
Ujjainyi
Respect it but sometimes small nation /new nations dont get Represetation so thats why for that cause NLWP
There's literally no way for you to know that, you got here yesterday and instantly started agitating for a party when you're not even in the WA.
Chacapoya, Araine, Floofybit, Tiralta, Jazur, Dimm-A-Land, Ujjainyi
Everyone is treated the same and I don't even look at how long someone has been in Refugia. As long as you're a member state, you get equal representation in voting as everyone else, and if you're not a member state, we can still have fun discussions!
Typica, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Tiralta, Jazur, Dimm-A-Land, Ujjainyi
Ok my lorddd
Dimm-A-Land
Well i have had a account in which i was there in this Region for about a 1 year or so my nation got lost and i dont remembere the paasswordd

what happend?
Mallard
NP bud

That's tragic. Did you run for a council position or put forward any legislation during your year in this region? We have records of every election so it'd be very easy to check. Once you have the nation name you can reset the password via email and voila.

I had made a gameplay post that linked all the members of Refugia that were in the WA, so that people could easily run through them all for endorsements. I didn't realize that Refugia's region page (and discord) had already done that
Sylh Alanor, Araine, Floofybit, Jazur
im not on that server but ok
Hi, Arch-Admin here
As a general concept, political parties do not increase political freedoms, they lower it, as all members of a political party are forced to follow the "party line", trading out their own political wants for an increased chance of getting elected and passing legislation.
There's no representation in Refugia because you do not need a representative to act on your behalf. In Refugia, we have an all-citizen legislature. Which means any Member State has the ability to submit and vote or a referendum to regional law, as well as run for Regional Council. I would recommend you learn about how things work in Refugia by taking a look at the Refugia Revised Statutes.

Thanks man ok
Well now NLWP even have a good reason as to Refugia does not even have a commmon ideology some are communist some monarch etc it will only unite to have a New ideology the Forward Bloc
You really have to start reading the responses to your statements. Refuge Isle explained exactly why political parties aren't an ideal form and why we've been perfectly fine without them for years now.

No worries friendo! Plus it's really nice to see people getting involved in endorsing and the World Assembly!

guys guys, what im thinkign is that hes not a poltical party, but with minor nations having little influence on the regional floor he is tyrign ot make it so even the little guys have a good say in what happens here, but if thats not what hes goign for then im not stoppin him
crap i sent it twice sorry
Ujjainyi
But the little guys get equal representation...
Sylh Alanor, Araine, Tiralta, Jazur, Ullrani, Mallard
I'm under the impression our votes all matter equally. I have just as much say as someone who's been here for months. Like others have been saying it's all talked about in detail in Refugia
Chacapoya, Typica, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Floofybit, Tiralta, Jazur, West Remeshile, Ullrani, Ujjainyi
cr
thats jsut my overall thoughts of what running through this guys brain, but if they are alreayd getting that, im happy as a clam
Ujjainyi
Man its NOT political partyy
Post self-deleted by Ujjainyi.
Like I said before, there's no representation in Refugia because you do not need a representative to act on your behalf.
You don't need a representative to tell a government what to do, you are the government. You skip the middleman.
For the Americans, that means that if you're a WA nation who has lived here for a week, you're functionally a senator all the time, you can propose and vote on legislation all the time.
All Member States have that power automatically. Open access to a say in how things work is a fundamental principle of this region, and it has been that way since I founded it.
