World Assembly

The World Assembly is the world's governing body. It proposes and votes on resolutions, which are then binding on all member nations. In other words, it's a hot-bed of political intrigue and double-dealing.

Any nation may join the WA (provided the user doesn't already have a nation in the WA and has provided an email address), but it's not compulsory. As non-members, nations are unaffected by any WA decisions. The WA enforces its newly passed resolutions by means of the Compliance Ministry. Acceptance of new resolutions is not optional for members - compliance is mandatory.

History
The WA was founded in April of 2008, as a replacement for the UN, which had recently disbanded. Since the rise of the World Assembly from the ashes of its predecessor, WA member nations have worked tirelessly to improve the standard of the world. That, or tried to force other nations to be more like them. But that's just semantics.
