World Assembly Policy

---

---

---

---

World Assembly membership is strongly encouraged in the Confederation. All nations who are eligible to join are urged to do so, as this strengthens the region's influence in international affairs.

WA Membership is also a requirement to participate in Imperial Senate voting and elections, and a prerequisite for holding any government office within the Confederation.

---

The Confederation's World Assembly Delegate is The Empire of ShrewLlamaLand.

This office is under the permanent administration of the Lord of Loathing, as the Confederation's Commission to the World Assembly.

---

All WA nations within the Confederation are required to endorse ShrewLlamaLand as WA Delegate.

WA nations are also encouraged to endorse all other nations who hold seats on the Imperial Council, as well as to exchange endorsements between eachother. Each endorsement increases the Confederation's overall influence rating, and improves our regional security.

---

In general, the Confederation is strongly opposed to the enormous influence that a few influental magnates serving as WA Delegates of large regions exert over the voting process. In any given vote, the top two-tenths of one percent of voting nations control up to 50% of the votes cast. This represents a grotesque level of inequality between nations, and regions, of the World Assembly and allows a powerful few to exert excessive control over the relatively powerless many. As a result, the Confederation is strongly against the so-called "WA Elite" and the current WA voting process.

To counteract this, all Confederation nations are encouraged to participate in the World Assembly voting process. In general, nations are strongly encouraged to follow the vote of our WA Delegate in both the General Assembly and Security Council, but this is not a strict requirement and nations who feel strongly about a given resolution are permitted a conscience vote.

However, occasionally a proposal that may result in a significant impact on the Confederation, the Confederation Constiution, or our regional community may come to vote. In this case, all nations will be required to follow the vote of the WA Delegate, and will be notified by the Imperial Council on the RMB and via telegram. Failure to follow the vote of the Delegate will result in consequences for offending nations.

An endorsement cap is currently enforced within the Confederation of Corrupt Dictators. This cap does not apply to nations who currently hold a seat on the Imperial Council.

This cap is set below the endorsement count of the second-highest endorsement nation on the Imperial Council, currently Depackya with 100 endorsements. This cap applies only to nations who have endorsed ShrewLlamaLand as WA Delegate; nations who have not endorsed the WA Delegate are limited to a lower cap of 25 endorsements.

Nations who exceed the endorsement cap will first be warned by the Imperial Council. Those who do not take reasonable action to reduce their endorsement count below the cap may be subject to investigation by Inqusitional Hearing, or ejected (not banned) from the Confederation before a regional update in order to reset their endorsement count.

This cap will be raised as the Confederation continues to grow, and the WA Delegate's own endorsement count increases. In general, the cap will always be set below the Imperial Council member with second highest endorsement count, while also ensuring a minimum separation of 50 endorsements between the WA Delegate and all other nations.
