| Message | THE MEMBER-STATES OF THE UNITED COUNTRIES, to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which brings untold sorrow to mankind, and to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom, AND FOR THESE ENDS to practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbours, and to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security, and to ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods, that armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest, and to employ international machinery for the promotion of the economic and social advancement of all peoples, RESOLVE TO COMBINE OUR EFFORTS TO ACCOMPLISH THESE AIMS. AS SUCH, The United Countries shall be an international organization founded upon the sovereignty of its individual member-states. It shall comprise three main divisions, under which will serve various lesser institutions and organizations. It shall comprise the Secretariat, which acts as a ceremonial leader and a guide for the resolution of issues; a General Assembly, which shall comprise the member-states and will participate in the drafting and debating of resolutions; the Security Council, which shall resolve international disputes and serve to prevent the spread of conflict in Terra. |

| Message | It does not lay out anything on who will make up the security council, the secreteriat and how drafting resolutions and passing them will not infringe upon the sovereignty of member states. It needed work before being sent for ratification |
| Date | 15:36:29, November 15, 2005 CET | From | Radical Freedom Party | To | Debating the Ratification of the United Countries |
| Message | I still think we should endorse this and perhaps push for reform from within. The resolutions do not infringe because they are non-binding, obviously. |
| Date | 17:16:45, November 15, 2005 CET | From | RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Ratification of the United Countries |
| Message | Indeed, we should work in the General Assembly to establish clear rules of functioning and procedure. I request that this be put to vote. |

| Message | Good god, no. |

| Message | "It does not lay out anything on who will make up the security council, the secreteriat and how drafting resolutions and passing them will not infringe upon the sovereignty of member states. It needed work before being sent for ratification" I agree that my terms were vague, but this was intentional. I want members to create the specific regulations once the UC is formed. |

| Message | You can request what you want but i feel we should debate this more before sending it to vote |
| Date | 22:04:57, November 15, 2005 CET | From | RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Ratification of the United Countries |
| Message | "Good god, no." My, what a constructive attitude. :rolleyes: |
| Date | 18:24:52, November 16, 2005 CET | From | RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Ratification of the United Countries |
| Message | Since no one has responded for a day, I think it is best to move to vote. |
| Date | 23:25:01, November 16, 2005 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Ratification of the United Countries |
| Message | Move to a vote that will end up being stopped by the election? How smart you are |
| Date | 21:11:54, November 17, 2005 CET | From | RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Ratification of the United Countries |
| Message | If the "honourable" Foreign Minister continues to refuse to open voting, I shall have to request the Federal President to do so. |

| Date | 19:40:34, November 18, 2005 CET | From | RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Ratification of the United Countries |
| Message | And how does that affect the United Countries? |
| Date | 21:50:45, November 18, 2005 CET | From | Kommunistische Arbeitspartei | To | Debating the Ratification of the United Countries |
| Message | It doesn't. It was a little cultural note I wrote up about Dundorf which, if you'll look, has no political power in the modern day. |
