The International Community Entrance Bill, Iteration XIV
I.C.E. 9
WHEREAS, as an independent and sovereign nation possessing of a long and proud heritage, Talossa merits a place among the ranks of other states of equal status, and
WHEREAS, our beautiful country deserves to have its voice heard within the international dialog of the world in order to help promote Talossan interests abroad, and
WHEREAS, the organization known as the United Nations is the international organization of the greatest prominence, and
WHEREAS, entrance into the aforementioned United Nations is predicated upon our willingness to accept and uphold the responsibilities and obligations delineated for a signatory nation within the document known as the "Charter of the United Nations," and
WHEREAS, the stated purposes of the UN are peace, friendly relations, international cooperation, and harmony, and Talossa also believes in these things, so there is no conflict but rather an affirmation of Talossan values, and
WHEREAS, the practical obligations that would be imposed upon us by UN membership are the minimal ones of an annual fee, agreeing to pacific resolution of international disputes, provision of troops or facilities if needed, participation in the International Court of Justice in the case of international legal disputes, and other such things easily met by our burgeoning state, and
WHEREAS, the benefits of joining the international community in an active manner far outweigh the negligible fees, which would be calculated as a percentage from our GNP, as well as the other items of obligation which would have generally already been Talossan policy anyway and thus no hardship, and
WHEREAS, Talossa is desirous of embarking on a long career of vibrant international relations, rather than the sporadic and chilly attentions we currently receive, excepting of course the United States of America's kind recognition of Talossan sovereignty, and we hope that this will be the impetus behind the crystallization of a new era of international communication,
THEREFORE, the Kingdom of Talossa hereby officially recognizes, supports, and endorses the ideals and goals detailed within the United Nations Charter, and that we hereby declare our intentions to join the august body of the General Assembly of the United Nations, and avows that Talossa will meet the obligations which are a part of being a member with full faith and our greatest exertions.

WHEREAS it is entirely in the best interest of the nation's people to know themselves, as admonished by the temple of Apollo at Delphi, and
WHEREAS this will yield not just interesting information about the character of our nation, but also useful knowledge that we might use to better tailor our recruiting processes, and
WHEREAS there have been a variety of attempted censuses in the past, achieving results that have been negligible at best, and
WHEREAS if something is worth doing, it is worth doing properly, and
WHEREAS the last time this bill was up for a vote, it was shot down with the objection that legislation wasn't needed to make this happen, and
WHEREAS almost a year later it still hasn't happened,
THEREFORE the Ziu hereby directs the Secretary of State of the Kingdom of Talossa to take whatever steps he deems necessary to conduct a census of all the citizens of Talossa, including whatever extraordinary degree of delegation that will be required before he finds someone to do it, and compile, to the best of his ability, information about the demographics of our country including age, sex, how they found out about Talossa originally, their level of involvement and amount of activity in Talossa. The Secretary of State is directed to release only the aggregate information in a format easy to manipulate to yield useful statistics, rather than individual results, so as to preserve the privacy of our citizenry. This census is to take place as soon as possible, and within a reasonable timeframe, and to be reported back to this body when complete. This is not a continuing measure.

These seat vacancies are now reflected on the Cosa membership page on the nation's Website. To the two ex-Membras dal Cosa from the RUMP, I say, in my loudest voice: Tsk, tsk. |
