2010's, It's really the infamous independent creators that are awesome and don't get a lot of recognition that sound amazing. Same thing applies for the 2020's but I haven't seen much to judge. I also like to listen to some 60's since I am a big history guy and like to see what was going on back then, not politically, just the people.

I know I'm replying late, sorry 😄
That's a really good and very difficult question. Canada is a good shout! I'm gonna say Egypt though. It's very well-placed in terms of being a real crossroads, it has a ton of geopolitical potential (at least in my view) that goes almost completely unused nowadays, has a hefty and very young population, etc. All in all, it could be soooo much better and more influential than now.
I'd totally make it work. 🤓

Annika Draper sweeps into the room with big sunglasses on, mumbling about how heatwaves shouldn't coincide with sewing bees.
Contestants, thank you for all of your hard work and efforts in the first round of the sewing bee! We really loved seeing the creativity and the way you brought your own flair to the accessories you made.
Having reviewed your products, I am sorry to say that Maršel Bello-Kula of Talmon will be leaving us this round. Your fedora was fantastic, but it wasn't enough to get you through this time. You may still keep your kiekie, of course, as a memento of your time in this competition!
That means that the contestants from Parvesha, Portmanteau and Aephony will move on to the next round.
We're having an unseasonally warm heatwave in Tiralta at the moment, and I need something light and weather-appropriate to wear before I pass out from heatstroke! I will absolutely refuse to wear a dress, but any other summer wear I can get for free- I mean, get to see... as part of this competition will be wonderful. I like blues and greens, and fun patterns. I'm sure you'll impress me!
Annika pauses, clearly listening to a voice on the other side of the earpiece she wears. No, you listen, I don't care if there was supposed to be another theme for this round! There'll be no sewing bee if I melt, Derek!
She looks around, clearly remembering where she is. Well folks, I'm going to find a freezer to camp out in while you work! Have fun, I can't wait to see what you come up with!

In the end, Giu created a light-blue cotton shirt, decorated with a pattern of white flowers and birds. The shirt was a cotton shirt, light, airy, and perfect for the hot summer temperatures. The outfit also used wide, airy, bright yellow pants. The design incorporated both Parveshan styles (prevalent in the colors and patterns) and the styles of his homeland (seen in the pants and in the cotton in the shirt). The light colors were perfect for the hot temperatures and certainly made a splash. Giu analyzed his submission carefully, making sure every detail was perfect, before submitting it.

LADS, LASSES, and LAFRIENDS lend me your eyes, for I have very important text to share with you. Some birthdays have passed, but thatÂ’s not important and is not what weÂ’re here to talk about, because actually weÂ’re here to talk about the brand new shiny extra shiny map update that is a feast for all the senses but mostly those that are able to experience the map update, notably smell.
Emily, you may be asking me, but asking it out loud in your room, what are you even talking about? This is a valid question, but instead IÂ’m not going to answer it. From the batcave beneath Chacapoya, ancestral home of the bat culture, came a swarm of bats. Those bats carried surveys all over the archipelago, and those that filled them out were instructed to throw the completed forms into the nearest body of water, whether that be a lake, an ocean, a stream, or even a bottomless well. All were retrieved by tirelessly working Alanori cartographers, and we came up with this handy list.
Apparently, new countries have sprung up from the very fertile soil we all know dearly. Much like cornstalks or tomato vines or even weeds, they rise and most disappear within 28 days like a magic rotating door of revolution. But these few, these brave few, have outlasted those challenges and remain here even now! So welcome to our map Talvezout, Orfellie, New Equanimia, Porthosia, Bashivk, and Getshitdoneistan. They were able to squeeze around the outward-marching momentum of some countries growing through conquest or just building houses. The Star Enpire, growing its enpire ever larger, Nekhuser-Ra, one of the oldest nations in the region, and Azelandia, some citizens from which have taken the plunge to flee their fellow Azelandians and sail to an unoccupied island in the east.
But how could there be all this empty space? ArenÂ’t Refugi notoriously hungry hungry types, filling out their space in the most possible ways? Actually, some just disappear! ItÂ’s truly mysterious and I am informed that apparently our previous and current Shadow Councillors claim that they have nothing to do with the disappearances. But we must acknowledge those losses, for they weigh heavy on our population graphs. So farewell to the Caliphate of Muhad, which was always missing from MMA bouts, Eurestria, Roguepalace, and most notably the newest casualty of the cursed island, Hollandi.
In happier news, because we cannot stop to focus on those mysterious disappearances lest we open up cold cases again, we have some new Refugi! Tiralta, our beloved Councillor of Culture, New Equanimia, Orfellie, and Getshitdoneistan, new and valued members of the cause. Due to the movement of Tiralta to the Refugi culture, the new ancestral homeland of Irishness has been passed to Porthosia on the disputed island, where three nations vie for domination. The other half of the island is currently under the sway of the newest practicing Impervian, Bashivk. Far from these dark warlike times fares the peaceful Manteauan nation of Talvezout.
Do you want to be included in a fever dream of a post much like this one? All you have to do is read the map application dispatch and truly understand it within your soul. Once your soul rings out with the possibility of filling out an application correctly, wish upon a star and your thoughts will be open to the void.
This has been Emily of Arlathan, your once and future queen.

Alright i'll admit i was late on this as well, but this time it was more I don't have a lot to say regarding Repeal "Contact Rights Between Parent And Child"
Proposal: https://www.nationstates.net/page=ga
Thread: https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=520783
ETA to vote: At vote right now
The repeal basically makes the following arguments:
[list][*]Courts can arbitrarily revoke the rights the resolution tries to protect because such removals are based on "best interests" of the child, as deemed by the court.
[*]Because the phrase "best interests" is constantly utilized in almost every clause, nations could effectively avoid enforcing a lot of the resolution (due to the ambiguity as implied by the aforementioned argument).
[*]Section 6's definition of parents means member states are forced to recognize parent-hood - even if recognizing such individuals can be against the best interests of the child (as there is no exemption to Section 6 for a child's best interests).[/list]
Ultimately, I agree with the repeal at its core - it's basically going after the target for the ambiguous definitions we discussed when the target came up. I do wish there was something against Sections 4 & 5, but can't have everything!
One thing to note, the target's author sent a campaign telegram against the repeal (https://imgur.com/a/twRvFSf). To give some quick notes - while I don't nessecarily like the practice of insta-repeals, in this case we've already determined the resolution is heavily flawed to the point where keeping it in the lawbooks is unjustified and harmful. While the implications the repeal makes against Section 6 of the target may be incorrect, it's still pretty weird to allow anyone who can claim standing as a parent from any WA nation to engage in a custody battle - and allowing such individuals to claim custody inonitself may be against a child's interests.
The telegram also basically argues that any reasonable nation would see when a parent is abusing a child - but this doesn't change the fact that individual judges and courts themselves may have cultural and personal biases in these matters that may very well condone abuse (and also discrimination) simply because they don't see it as such. Yes, you cannot legislative against every edge-case and must assume nations will be reasonable, but that sentiment can only go so far - it's very clear this resolution will not be followed as intended.
Thereby, I recommend voting FOR Repeal "Contact Rights Between Parent And Child". What are y'alls thoughts?
Chacapoya, Typica, Araine, Floofybit, Junitaki-Cho, Tiralta, Istastioner, Desenteres, Parvesha
Full support!
I agree that a mention of some of the other fatal flaws in the resolution would be nice, but in the end it's not too big a deal.
Chacapoya, Cheesy Tots, Typica, Araine, Floofybit, Tiralta
I admit IÂ’m not entirely sure how to legislate on this topic as I do recognize that the resolution does aim to do some good. Not every idea in it is something I disagree with, but my stance remains that children should be more involved with custody decisions and be able to voice their opinions if capable of doing so (meaning theyÂ’re able to talk). Obviously they canÂ’t be completely left up to them considering there are other things to sort out, but leaving something so important entirely to the whims of a judge without asking the child if they have any concerns doesnÂ’t sit right with me.

So I used to play this game around 10 or so years ago when I was still in high school. I'm back so I have something else I can do with my time while working overnights. I love the banter as is and that is ultimately what brought me to this region in the first place, but I really enjoy the more serious discussions on policy. I'm not an eloquent enough writer to draft a law, let alone professionally discuss it and its issues like what I'm reading here right now. It inspires me to stick around and work on that form of writing.

One suggestion I have is to share your thoughts when we have a GA discussion post up, even if you feel you cannot state your opinion eloquently. It may not seem like direct practice for General Assembly/policy writing, but by discussing GA resolutions you'll slowly understand what makes a good/bad GA resolution over time by seeing examples of such - which will make it easier to write a resolution in the future! ^-^

Aethametamine stresses "This Annika lady sucks! It seems like she wants us to do what SHE wants, why would I care about the weather in Tiralta? I am an Ae!"
As Aethametamine does the "😤" face, with not much to work with, he thinks of a flat cap, a Brixton Fiddler, "Blue, blue is good, blue is alright... She likes blues, right?" As he keeps trying to relate "I like summer, I love it, this cap will... cover your face from the sun?" The cap was not hard for him, but the color picking was exhausting even though the end result barely had colors, he didn't like it and just went: " This counts as blue, right? Screw it, I am submitting this."

Also voting for the insta-repeal of the contact rights resolution - I was pretty lengthy in my explanation of it at the time, so I won't repeat myself. I also wish the repeal resolution was more forensic in its criticism of the original resolution, but if it gets the job done I am not so fussed.
I'm thinking about drafting a similar proposal to the original from an inverted framing - I do think this is an important topic, it just needs addressing from the point of rights of the child rather than the parent, and with some of the loopholes you could drive a bus through closed down. If anyone wants to help me work on that, I'd appreciate it - I'm still relatively new to NS.

This website is pretty helpful for giving you hints for which issues and which answers will reverse those pesky accidental policies: http://www.mwq.dds.nl/ns/results/policies.html#Devolution
You usually tend to get one within 14 days that allows you to reverse it. I think I was accidentally capitalist for 10 days, and accidentally had slavery two weeks ago which lasted for 3 days, so we've all done it!

Maybe the tiny section of my economy thatÂ’s attributed to the black market is just some incredibly dangerous underground logging operations attempting to flout my environmental regulations and sell shoddy paper, and so many of them lost limbs due to inadequate safety measures that they got together and constructed an elaborate plan to pose as veterans to secure funding for presthetics?

Fanny and Domino listen to the instructions for summer wear and nod along. Both of their thoughts immediately fall upon the same idea, because the traditional dress of their tropical home fits the request perfectly. A white linen shirt, light and breathable, it was derived from the popular garment known as the "guayabera" in the Caribbean, and it retains much of the same elements.
The shirt boasts four large pockets in the front, traditionally meant for the carrying of guava fruits while out working in the fields. Two vertical rows of embroidered pleats run the length of the front and back, which may be used to showcase more complex designs and patterns. The linen fabric, itself, is very light and remains noticeably cool to the touch, making it ideal for hot climates. On top of this, the shirt incorporates side vents to facilitate air transfer through the shirt.
For the contest, the two garmentarians concentrate especially on the embroidery, choosing an uncommon, asymmetric configuration with flashy coloring and pattern. As a cherry on the top, a lightweight panama hat is provided to block out the sun.

FRIENDS, IT IS TIME TO DISCUSS ANOTHER GENERAL ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION - "Repeal: 'Museums Of Musical Heritage'"!
Proposal: https://www.nationstates.net/page=UN_view_proposal/id=roylaii_1657780085
Thread: https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=520492
ETA to vote: 10-11 hours
Before I give a summary of the repeal, it would be best to review GA #86 - the repeal target. GA #86 establishes the Museums of Musical Heritage (MoMH) - an association of museums - to basically gather musical materials of all stripes. It also establishes a public database for the Museums of Musical Heritage to input musical materials into. It is requested that all entities donate musical materials to the MoMH, but that if necessary there be monetary compensation involved as decided by an impartial arbiter. There are also requests to make MoMH institutions easily accessible by nations and for nations to cooperate with MoMH on music research.
The repeal of GA #86 takes issue with the lack of procedures regarding arbitration. To be specific, it argues that GA #86's lack of regulations monetary compensation means individuals are more likely to ask for money than freely donate, despite the resolution heavily encouraging free donations. It is further argued that the target gives no guidelines to the arbiter as to when they can/should decline a request or how to decide how much music the money is worth - leading the arbiter to have to decide this based on personal criteria. Due to these issues, the repeal concludes that this condones "irresponsible spending of public money by the WA".
In my opinion, I pretty much agree with the repeal's arguments. The lack of guidance and procedures on how monetary compensation is given means the system will most likely face much abuse. That being said, I do hope the target is replaced, as it has a noble goal in mind.
Sorry that's so short, but that's all I can really say - seems like a solid repeal! xD I'll be leaning towards a recommendation FOR "Repeal: 'Museums Of Musical Heritage'" - though I'd like to hear y'alls thoughts! How do y'all plan to vote?
