Discussion: On ‘a certain someone’s’ (aka ÞQ) expanding into literal hell

Hentzo addresses the fact that there should probably be some manner of regulation as to how territory should be claimed in the nether, if at all.

Enkavak proposes restricting territorial claims to above the nether roof and to make the rest of the nether unclaimable.

Hummland proposes that any portal exit linked to an entry in a ŋation should establish a territorial claim on the area around the exit portal.

ÞQ also proposes making the area below the roof unclaimable.

Several members agree that the exit portal idea would be complicated to implement and that it would be reasonable to make the entire nether, including the roof, unclaimable.

Several members propose that portals in the nether shall not be obstructed by a third party.

Motion: Restriction on Territorial Claims in the Nether (LEG)

No ŋation shall claim territory in the Nether, whether below the roof or above; any territorial claims heretofore made are hereby declared null and void.

COMMENTS:

  • Enkavak: ‘Can you please start using dark mode?’
  • Hentzo: ‘There is no fucking Notepad dark mode.’
  • Enkavak: ‘I don’t fucking care.’


Ayes: 11
Noes: 1

PASSED

Discussion: Follow-up

Hentzo proposes that structures in the nether should be protected and owned by no ŋation.

Enkavak mentions that ŋations should still be able to own structures.

Motion: On Player-Built Structures in the Nether (LEG)=

A structure is defined as any player-made, reasonably contiguous aggregation of blocks built with a select purpose. No ŋation shall disturb, damage, loot from, etc., a structure built by another player or ŋation without that player’s or ŋation’s permission.

EXAMPLES:

  • Portals, houses, anything that would generally be classified as a ‘building’ are structures.
  • A bridge built with express purpose to be traversed repeatedly is a structure.
  • An abandoned bridge that is left unused is not a structure.

Of Disbanded Ŋations and UŊ Mandates [LEGAL]

Should a country volontarilly disband or be dissolved, its territory will first be placed under UŊ administration. Ideally, a territory put under UŊ mandate should have two co-administrators to prevent unilateral landgrabs and annexations.

If the UŊ Administrators do not state any intent to annex the territory at the UŊ, the territory under administration is considered unclaimed once the period of administration is over.

The UŊ Administrators may also direct ask neighboring member states whether they have any interest in the territory under administration or not to speed up the transition process.

In accordance to the Will framework defined in 19.6, if the head of state has stated that their territory should go to a specific country, the UŊ administration will end when the trustee member state has confirmed their willingness to be in charge of the territory.

Discussion regarding modifications of historical structures inside the borders of a Ŋation

Hilja mentions that others have expressed contention over their modification of pre-raid structures. Xhesas mentions that they are one of the people who had a problem with that and that one shouldn’t build structures of religious importance next to pre-raid structures. Hilja argues that this does not alter the original structure. Xhesas is still against it.

Hilja argues that this discussion is not about them being on trial, but about deciding on more general rules. Annwan is struggling to think of a way of expressing his opinion. Sven argues that tampering with structures made by ‘our lord Ætérnal’ is sacreligious. spook_bag argues that this should be decided on a case by case basis. Marcy argues that there is no need to propose a motion over this; Hilja agrees. Annwan says it’s ‘fine’, but for pre-raid structures, the UŊESCO should be contacted first.

Otherwise, so Annwan, repurposing a structure while keeping its spirit and general external appearance the same is acceptable. As an example, he lists building a rail line going through a house as too much of a modification. Hilja agrees, but also argues again that her building around an existing structure shouldn’t be an issue. Annwan agrees. theidealist proposes that any alterations be voted on by the UŊ first.

Xhesas disagrees, and states that Hilja’s construction of a religious building next to an existing building constitutes a repurposing of the latter for her own gains. Hilja and Annwan disagree. Hilja comments that we shouldn’t establish protection zones around buildings outside of already-established protective zones.

Hilja argues that it is worthwhile to ask whether UŊESCO wishes to protect a place before any edits to it are made.

No motion was put forth for this.

Establishment of a North Thasusan Natural Reserve

Discussion

As the Officer of Environmental Protection, Hilja proposes to create an environmental reserve since the continent is very densely populated so as to ensure everyone else has enough unpopulated nature to enjoy. This would also include a jungle temple. This does not include anyone’s territory.

Ætérnal expresses his discontent over the fact that it wasn’t clearly communicated whether ‘Thasusa’ contains two ‘s’s or one.

Marcy argues: ‘I don't think the unclaimed area in Central Thasusa should become an interŋationally observed Natural Reserve for the sole reason it is unclaimed. If the protection of the area were a priority of the neighboring countries, they could protect it by themselves.’

Hilja argues that she could just annex the territory and donate it to the UŊEPO. Regarding a question how this land is supposed to be used should the motion pass, Hilja comments that this depends on what the Environmental Protection Agency is willing to do.

Astaryuu argues that it is worth keeping at least some nature in densely-populated areas.

Hilja also mentions that this area has been unclaimed for 6 months.

Marcy further comments that if Myžariky or ÞQ were to annex it, they could decide for themselves what to do with it.

No exact text was given for this motion.

Vote

  • In Favour: 4+2=6
  • Against: 6+3=9
  • Abstain: 2+3=5

Comments

  • ‘UŊEPO, not UŊESCO’ — Annwan

  • ‘Seo will be happy’ — Hilja


REJECTED

Relaxation of the protection of animals within the Ŋəri2na Natural Reserve

Hummus proposes that anyone may tame wolves from the Ŋəri2na natural reserve. Xhesas proposes to expand the motion to include any ‘despawning entity’ (i.e. anything that would despawn on its own anyway if left alone). This excludes any mobs that are always saved by the game, e.g. villagers, mobs in vehicles, named mobs.

After some discussion as to what exactly counts as an entity, and what causes entities to always be saved, ‘despawning’ is changed to ‘respawning’, as that better conveys the intent of the motion.

Amend 13.6 to exclude from the region’s status of protection any respawning Entity—that is, any entity that can spawn naturally within the reserve—which has not been named by a player. Any such entity within the bounds of the Ŋəri2na Natural Reserve is no longer part of the reserve or protected in any way.

Of Observer and Inactive Status

  1. All previous mentions of observer status are modified to refer to Inactive Status
  2. A nation may be admitted under an observer status (different from the aforementioned Inactive Status), giving them the right to participate in debate, but not vote on issues, they are not counted as members for the purpose of calculating quorums
  3. A nation with observer status can apply to become a full member like any other non-member nation

Comments:

  • I think this would not serve any purpose, since everything you could do as an observer you can just do anyways’ – Enkavak
  • ‘I think there can just be two conditions for observer status: inactivity, or activity without proper ascession to the UNg, thus I think I disagree’ — Agma
  • The term "observer" has always been confusing, renaming it to "inactive" makes sense. The new observer thing does not serve much of a purpose but doesn't hurt I guess.’ – Stej Ven
  • ‘I'd be fine with the rewording, but the new one would be confusing and useless’ – Enkavak

As a result of these comments, it was suggested to split paragraph 1 from 2 and 3, but in light of the fact that there are a lot of absentia votes for this one, we can’t really change the motion after the fact.

Vote:

  • Ayes: 2+6=8
  • Noes: 4+0=4
  • Abstentions: 7

REJECTED ON GROUNDS OF NOT ACHIEVING A MAJORITY

Point of Order raised by Ætérnal regarding the outcome of 22.6

This motion was passed with 9 in favour, which does not seem like it could feasibly have constituted a majority. A revote might be in order.

Point of order wrt Election of a Jury regarding jurisdiction in nether structures as per 12.8

This motion was intended to be the election of a jury for the INgCJ shall decide whether ngational laws are enforceable in nether structures based on 12.8.

A point of order was raised by Ætérnal regarding the election process: ‘This process is ill-defined. It’s not clear who can be elected. Do people have to volunteer for it to be able to be elected? It’s not clear if someone can decline to be appointed a juror. What happens if everyone declines or there are fewer than 3 jurors. What happens if there is a 4-way tie? Etc. This process should be documented more clearly.’

Ætérnal recommends that the UŊ elect judges permanently and not for every court case.

Xhesas recommends drawing lots every time there is a court case.

The meeting was adjourned, and this motion postponed until such time as this point of order is resolved.

On Excessive Destruction of Unclaimable regions [LEGAL]

Players, nations, or other parties may not destroy the natural terrain of unclaimable regions (the Nether, the End, and any locations hereafter designated as such) for endeavors not reasonably considered creative (see note 1). This is to include extreme mining, destruction of large terrain features, and removal of structures.

This proposal aims to make the Nether (and the End, in the future) more sustainable for use, and prevent undue destruction from exploitation of UNg laws against territorial claims in these areas. Just because nobody can claim it doesn't mean it should be the Wild West.

note 1: "creative" here means "the opposite of destructive," NOT "imaginative." Creative purposes would include builds, farms, or decoration.

All above text of this motion is final, barring typos or egregious oversight of critical errors.

"I disagree with this motion because the overworld and nether are too large for this to be a reasonable threat. The nether and end are too featureless for this to be needed." -- Suwi of the Realm of Madness

Proposal to Clarify Non-Applicability of UŊ Laws to Non-Member Parties

While it has been stated before, this motion wants to make it clear UŊ law that any laws/restrictions created by the United Ŋations, as well as recognitions/non-recognitions made by the United Ŋations (such as the geoscheme), shall not apply to non-member states or other parties unaffiliated with member states or the UŊ itself.

Fin and I feel, and it is reasonable to believe, that it is unfair to be held to regulations and standards created by a body that 1) does not govern the ŋorld and 2) they have no say in. The assurance to an unaffiliated party that they will not be held to the limitations they did not consent to is important to have codified.

Note: this is a clarification proposal. Rejecting it does not mean UŊ laws can apply to non-member parties, only that putting it in writing was not preferred.

On the Assurance of UNg Meetings [CONST]

Owing to the 2-month timeframe since the last meeting, with no known time for the next meeting, Rauratoshan would like to ɱotion for a schedule as follows:

  • 15 days before the end of the month, a UŊ Meeting Minister polls to see if the UŊ wishes to meet that month.
  • If yes, a poll is made to determine when in the remainder of the month the meeting should be held.
  • If no, the meeting is skipped.
  • Obviously, the UŊ can check back in about if they want to meet before the next such date. However, the next check-in shall happen no later than then.

On Illegalizing the Use of UNg Votes as Blackmail, Bribery, or Similar [LEGAL]

On clarifying the affairs of Mandates and Protectorates [CONST]

Mandates:

  • A Mandate is a territory in trust of the UŊ for a limited period of time. Voluntarily disbanded countries will automatically become UŊ Mandates, unless their leader has expressed a desire for this not to be the case. A Mandate may also be created from terra nullius through a UŊ motion.
  • A Mandate shall have a minimum of two co-administrators assigned on its creation, to be confirmed through a simple vote of confirmation.
  • The administrators of a Mandate must survey its territory for any areas of development necessitating preservation (either as a protectorate or under UŊESCO), or which can be returned to terra nullius, and to assess the interests of neighbouring states and potential claimants to the territory. The administrators may negotiate and implement territorial changes without requiring a UŊ motion, but must do so in consensus.
  • Unless any specific agreement to the contrary is approved by the UŊ, a Mandate will expire automatically after three months following its establishment, with all territory therein being returned to terra nullius. Both administrators may also agree to terminate the Mandate early.
  • Any existing Mandates as of the passing of this motion will have their expiration timers reset as if they were newly established, with their existing administrators in place.

Protectorates:

  • A Protectorate is a territory under direct UŊ supervision for an indefinite time period, for its historical, cultural, or natural value.
  • While governed by the UŊ, a Protectorate may be assigned to one of its Offices for administration upon creation.
  • A Protectorate should only include developed land and its immediate surroundings, and should not contain excess virgin land. Leniency shall be afforded to natural reserves in this regard.
  • Changes to the boundaries, status, or jurisdiction of a Protectorate may be made through a motion.
  • Existing natural reserves shall be converted into Protectorates under the jurisdiction of the Office of Environmental Protection; likewise, UŊESCO sites shall be converted into Protectorates under the jurisdiction of the Office of Education, Science and Culture.

On Repealing of 13.6

This would repeal the Ngari2na Reserve effective immediately. This motion is suggested for the following reasons:

  • The definition of the reserve is extremely broad, and encompasses at least one-fourth of the world's total badlands and desert biomes
  • The reserve completely locks development in the only Wooded Badlands biomes on the server, which is against the best interest of ongoing development in the server.
  • The area this reserve encompasses is entirely virgin land, with extremely few bordering nations, and is thus unlikely to be grabbed up. This issue will be addressed below.
  • The Office of Environmental Protection has not carried out any significant duties in this reserve since its establishment
  • There are already provisions explicitly protecting against excess collection of renewable resources such as terracotta; this added protection is unnecessary
  • Other such reserve proposals, such as Motion 21.6, have been rejected since, indicating a non-zero sentiment against reserves
  • This reserve was implemented by a vote of 7 in favor, which most likely would not constitute a majority vote anymore, and as such may flip in a repealment such as this
  • The vast, vast majority of ŋations have not demonstrated propensity to destroy land, and there is little concern eventual claimants would do so
  • The original motion was passed when land destruction was an issue, however motions have since regulated that as previously mentioned. The relevant motion was approved during Meeting 13 as well.
  • Terracotta is now far more accessible to obtain anyway via villager trading (Old Cuba has 57 stonemasons) and conversion of mud to clay then smelting
  • Motion 21.7 relaxed animal protections, removing a primary reason for protecting this land at all, this making that preservation moot

In addition, the following are proposed:

  • Discussion to be held after meeting in a special thread regarding potential reinstatement of portions of reserve. The discussion will result in either no reinstatement or a map (as decided by a general consensus of present parties) submitted to ⁠map-updates
  • The reserve's territory will be turned into a mandate, so as to protect it from undue land grabs.
  • The mandate will particularly facilitate any potential claims of the land, aiming to prevent excessive claims.
  • Combining these, any potential reinstations will take priority over any other requests for land or decisions made by administrators
  • The Phoengix Heritage Site and the area surrounding Guam 2 will remain as UNg territory, as they are considered UNgESCO sites, not UNgEPO sites.

Reform of the Electoral Processes of the United Ŋations [CONST]

Reasoning:

  • It has been proven cumbersome and needlessly time consuming to require motions for menial bookkeeping tasks
  • Some cases don't require protracted discussions before taking a decision

Motion:

  • Votes for admissions of new member ŋations can be realised asynchronously via a Discord poll. At least 50% of active member ŋations must vote in favour during a span of 7 days for the admission to pass
  • A demotion to observer status by application of 9.6§2 can be realised asynchronously via a discord poll. At least 50% of active member ŋations must vote in favour during a span of 7 days for the demotion to pass.
  • Election to replace officers can be held asyncrhonously. A thread will be created under the ⁠uŋ channel on discord for each election, where the counting method will stay the same, the votes will be open for 7 days.

Date: 2025-09-21

On a reform of the IŊCJ [CONST]

Passed

  • An Interŋational Court of Justice (hereafter IŊCJ) is established to rule on cases of interpretation of UŊ Law, and on violations of UŊ Law
  • A case can be submitted to the IŊCJ by a formal request in #uŋ
  • After a case is submitted, a jury of at least 3 players is to be apointed by an asynchronous ranked election lasting 7 days in a thread in #uŋ
  • The jury members shall not have conflict of interests with the case brought in front of them
  • The jury, the plaintiff, and any other persons concerned by the case shall convene at a date and time agreed by all of them.
  • All sides of the argument shall be given time to explain their position and show evidence to the jury
  • The jury shall then decide among themselves their ruling of the case and announce it
  • Minutes of the court session shall be taken and made available
  • This motion supercedes and replaces 6.5

Notes

Annwan points out that while the IŊCJ has already been established the rules as to what it does and can do are unclear; this clarifies those rules.


Fine-tuning the Asynchronous Voting Process [CONST]

Passed

  • Votes for certain executive motions may be realised asynchronously via a poll on Discord or another suitable platform. Asynchronous polls for these motions shall last for a span of 7 days, and a quorum of ½ of members (rounded up) MUST participate in a poll in order to pass such a motion.
  • For asynchronously voted motions regarding the status of ŋations, a poll may be closed early if a minimum of ½ of all member states (rounded up) vote in favour of the motion.
  • Standard methods for tallying and counting votes for each respective type of motion shall remain in place.
  • Executive motions which may have asynchronous votes are:
    • admission of new member ŋations;
    • demotion to observer status by application of 9.6§2;
    • elections to appoint or replace UŊ officers.
  • This motion replaces and supercedes 23.11.

Notes

Pleb clarifies that this is mainly a clarification of established policy.

Amendment to 12.6 Regarding Nether Claims [LEG]

Rejected

  • Ŋations may claim an area of 2 chunks radius around any portal connecting to within the overworld claims of the ŋation, and any structure that the ŋation owns that is at least 3 chunks away from the nearest portal meeting the above conditions.
  • Said claims **only** cover the space above the nether roof
  • Claims are not automatic, and a has to be physically demarcated with visible materials on the bedrock roof to be considered valid
  • Any conflicting claims would resolve by meeting in the middle, except in the case of preexisting structures. These structures will be granted a 12-block buffer as needed to correct the border.
  • The above provision may be disregarded if parties come to a separate agreement.

Notes

Dismissed by the speaker since claims are not in the purview of the UŊ.

On the position of speaker [CONST]

Passed

§1 The **Speaker** of a UŊ meeting is hereby clarified as referring to the person responsible for the following tasks:

  1. Setting the agenda for the meeting and its order
  2. Deciding when the agenda is adequately filled to call for a meeting on discord
  3. Beginning and ending a UŊ Meeting
  4. Guiding the meeting by beginning and ending discussions and explanations by representatives
  5. Calling for a vote in the chamber and on discord
  6. Logging new legislation and meeting records on the wiki

For the following prior meetings, hereby are retroactively assigned Speaker:

  • Meeting 1-5, 7-20 and 23 prior to motion #4: Annwan of Imerchal
  • Meeting 6: Namnak Xhesas of Enkavak
  • Meeting 21 & 22: Ætérnal
  • Meeting 23 after motion #4: Rnifnuf of Myžariky

Ætérnal is hereby assigned Speaker from meeting 24 onwards, unless repealed according to §2.

§2 Should the current Speaker be temporarily unavailable, a different one may be assigned by volunteering on the discord, to be informally selected by members.

Should the current Speaker wish to retire, Speakers may volunteer, and a vote will be held in the same manner as the selection of an officer. A volunteer Speaker must:

  1. Have a stable internet connection capable of streaming motions being written.
  2. Have a high tolerance for tomfoolery
  3. Be available during usual UŊ meeting times
  4. Be a representative of a UŊ member state, or Ætérnal

Notes

Hilja explains the motion.

Ætérnal mentions that his internet connexion isn’t exactly ‘stable’ sometimes, but this is less of an issue now that we have the website.

Martinawa suggests that we should vote speakers into office; Hilja clarifies that this is what the motion suggests; the assignments in the motion are retroactive.

On Frivolous Proposals and Motions [CONST]

Passed

Hereby defining a proposal or motion as ‘**frivolous**’ if it meets one or more of the following criteria:

  1. It demands the enforcement of something entirely out of the control of the United Ŋations
  2. The proposal does not have any meaningful effect on the working or execution of motion or law of the UŊ or its member ŋations, nor does it clarify anything about aforementioned matters.
  3. No justification is ever given for why the proposal would lead to a positive change

The speaker of the UŊ meeting may, should they deem a proposal frivolous according to these criteria, unilaterally dismiss a proposal, provided they justify this action by means of above criteria. This shall happen after the proposal has been explained, but before discussion commences.

This motion does not apply to discussions

Notes

Hilja: basically, this allows us to throw out joke motions w/o having to vote on them etc.

Suqi: I agree with this motion, but will vote against it out of my principles.

Annwan: this justifies the ‘Close as Rejected’ button in the UI.

Hilja: it also means we don’t have to have a discussion on why a motion isn’t worth discussing.

Annwan: yeah, that’s not really a good use of our time.

Hijla: That’s why the motion specifies that this happens before the discussion.

Xhesas: Germany doesn’t exist.

Ætérnal: Not that many non-constitutional motions today—I almost said ‘unconstitutional’.


Motion to Declare UŊESCO Heritage Sites [EXEC]

Passed

§1 The site of Dave (Attachment 1) will be declared a UNgESCO Heritage Site for its value as a mysterious site that shows early Ngafrican development post-1.20.0, as well as to protect the site from undue development.

§2 The mandate of Renoriba will be dissolved effective immediately.

§3 The area surrounding and including the town of Pelcach (Attachment 2) is to be declared a UNgESCO Heritage Site for its notability as an early UNg member state that has been dissolved, as well as to protect the architecture from claimants.

§4 The site of Entropy's Base (Attachment 3) is to be declared a UNgESCO Heritage Site. It is the namesake of the Land of Chaos and an architectural wonder. As there is no nation claiming it, there is no stewardship over this valuable site, an issue that must be rectified.

  • Attachement 1
    Attachement 1
  • Attachement 2
    Attachement 2
  • Attachement 3
    Attachement 3

Notes

Xhesas: As an officer of UŊesco I agree.

On the Codification of Representation Rules [CONST]

Passed

A single player account may only represent one ŋation at once in any given UŊ process. Which ŋation they represent can change from one process to another.

Reasoning

Rauratoshan has noticed that while it is informal policy to not have a single person represent multiple ŋations, it is not law. This makes this particular rule a loophole that could be abused. Thus, Rauratoshan ɱotions to codify into law that a single person may only represent one ŋation at once in any given UŊ process.

Notes

Xhesas: this is already a law for meetings; this just extends it to other processes.

viklo: What is a UŊ process?

Annwa: Anyhting the UŊ does.

Ætérnal: There should be a follow-up motion that defines what consitutes a ‘process’.

viklo: Yeah, it’s still clear enough.

On The Establishment of an United Ŋations Transportation Office [LEG]

Passed

§1 Creation Of The United Ŋations Transportation Office

  1. The United Ŋations Transportation Office, herein referred to as UŊTO, is appointed the following roles:
  2. To document creation, removal, and modification of interŋational railroad routes;
  3. To document creation, removal, and modification of interŋational roads;
  4. To coordinate with the Office of Codes and Documentation Standardization ensuring lack of conflict in relation to those routes described in §1.2 and §1.3;
  5. To coordinate with the Office of Cartography and/or independent cartographers in creating maps of those routes described in §1.2 and §1.3;
  6. To ensure United Ŋations regulations on related infrastructure, such as bridges, are adhered to; and
  7. To create and distribute necessary information regarding navigation and planning in relation to those routes described in §1.2 and §1.3.
  8. This section may be amended to create, remove, and modify roles as necessary in subsequent motions.

§2 Definitions of Interŋational Routes

  1. An interŋational railroad route is any constructed or planned rail line or system, which contains at minimum two stations, and which any station(s) along said rail line or system occupies space within a different ŋation or UŊESCO Heritage Site than another, or with unclaimed land more than 500m between consecutive stations.
  2. An interŋational road is any constructed or planned major roadway at least 50m long, which contains at minimum 10m of roadway within the borders of a ŋation, UŊESCO Heritage Site, or unclaimed land different from another ŋation or UŊESCO Heritage Site.
  3. This section may be amended to create, remove, and modify definitions of interŋational routes as necessary in subsequent motions.

§3 Necessary Information As Specified in §1.7

  1. The UŊTO is to consider map creation and publication, route information creation and publication, and code conflict resolution as necessary information regarding navigation of interŋational routes.
  2. The UŊTO is to consider updates to construction, coordination of construction, and assisting with construction as needed as necessary information regarding planning of interŋational routes.
  3. This section may be amended to create, remove, and modify what is considered necessary information in subsequent motions.

Comment by Ætérnal

§§ 1.8, 2.3, and 1.3 have been removed since they were mainly just comments and don’t really do anything: we already can always amend what this office does in a follow-up motion; they are not to be considered part of the motion.

Notes

Annwan: This is the most verbose motion ever.

Ætérnal: It reads like the C++ standard in some places.

Suqi: I disagree because it would allow destroying structures.

Xhesas: I don’t think it does?

Roader: How will this interact w/ Annwan’s map.

Annwan: The rail lines will be on the map, basically.

Annwan: It’s basically just coordination and docs.

Xhesas: I don’t think the office would be allowed to build or destroy anything on their own.

Ætérnal: I agree.

viklo: I recently had trouble figuring out what the code is for certain stations, but is that the job of the UŊ office of standardisation or whatever it's called?

Annwan: I’m working on recovering everything.

viklo: if this motion is passed, will cenrail code standardisation move from the office of standardisation (Annwan) to this new office?

Annwan: I believe not.

Suqi: how will this office keep track of all interŋational routes? might there not be some that are unknown?

Ætérnal: Part of what this office is supposed to do is document that.

Annwan: If you make a new road, please tell the UŊTO about it.

Villnark: Yeah, that’d save a lot of time.

On Adding the Woodland Protectorate [EXEC]

Passed

In Suqi's will, they offered the Woodland Protectorate to the United Ŋations. If the offer is accepted, Suqi no longer has responsibility over it, and new overseers will be chosen by the UŊ. If the offer is rejected, the Woodland Protectorate is returned to wilderness.

Suqi's Will:

Legwa Rrina and the Realm of Madness are dissolved. My will is as follows: Legwa Rrina and RoM are returned to wilderness, except for my items and structures obv. The UŊ can keep 119ium and the the natural reserve if it intends to keep it as a grief/theft-permitted zone, otherwise wilderness too. Woodland Protectorate also to the UŊ if wanted. I can no longer take payments for the Condominium of Chaos, the available land left there is wilderness. TO BE CLEAR Juya Gwaña is still mine.

Discord Link to the will

Notes

Suqi: There is only one woodland mansion; it’d be nice to protect it since it was absolutely destroyed.

Ætérnal: If people want to loot it, that would be allowed right before the map is regenerated.

Xhesas: If you wanted the trim, you could get it from elsewhere. Besides, it doesn’t really have any value to the UŊ.

Annwan: Should it be a UŊESCO protectorate or an environmental protectorate.

Xhesas: As a UŊESCO officer I reject it being the former because it’s not player-made.

Annwan: Does the office of environmental protection want it as a protectorate?

Jamie: It’s the only one in the world?

Annwan: Yes.

Jamie: Then, yes.

Villnark: If there were two, I’d say no.

Annwan: We know it’s the only one.

Xhesas: Actually, they can be a bit hard to find sometimes.

Hilja: There are like 10 people who have used the seed finder; we know it’s the only one.

Jamie: the question is whether we want to establish a protectorate, right?

appolyon: the server is old enough that i'd expect the second one to be found if it existed.

On the acceptance of non-ŋations into the UŊ [CONST]

Rejected

I propose non-ngation entities be allowed to join the UŊ, but purely by title. Member non-ngations may not contribute a vote or quorum requirement. Member (ŋations) and member non-ngations shall be collectively referred to as member-entities, with "member" being limited to ngations.

Notes

Dismissed as frivolous. Non-ŋations cannot join the united *ŋations*.

Xhesas: The UŊ is not changing its name to the ‘UT’ (the ‘United Things’).

Nate: ‘united items’.

Annwan: ‘United Þiŋs’.

On changing the absentee voting period to be after the meetings [CONST]

Rejected

  • The absentee voting period for motions is changed to occur after the meetings instead of before meeting
  • Motions cannot be voted on before the meeting
  • Motions can be voted on during the meeting
  • For 7 days after the meeting, members can vote in absentia
  • In order for a motion to pass, it must be the case that after the 7 days of absentia voting:
    1. there are more votes cast in favour than against (including absentee votes),
    2. the number of ŋations present at the meeting reached the quorum, and
    3. the number of votes cast in favour (including absentee votes) is equal to or greater than half the number of ŋations required to be at the meeting by the quorum from point (2).

Background and explanation

There have been cases where during a meeting it has become obvious that a motion should be changed or split into several motions which is a problem when absentia votes have already been cast. This would shift the purpose of meetings slightly so that they serve as a discussion before finalising the motions. Members present at the meeting can still vote then and there. This is similar to how constitutional motions are already handled, where they are voted on in the meeting and if there is not enough support in the meeting there is a poll on the Discord server. There could also be a summary of the discussion put up on this website for people who were not present at the meeting, if Ætérnal wants to implement it. This is partially meant to address the concerns in [Suwi's motion about absentia voting](https://www.nguh.org/ung/motion/18), although I recognise that it might not fully address them.

Quorum issue

The reason that this motion puts a requirement on the number of ayes (votes in favour) is to avoid an issue where casting a vote against a motion causes it to pass even though it would otherwise not have passed due to not fulfilling the quorum. For example, if there was simply a requirement that in order for a motion to pass it needed more ayes than nays and the total number of votes cast needed to reach a certain quorum, then there could be a scenario like this example:

  • Quorum: 10
  • There are 7 ayes and 2 nays, which does not reach the quorum, so the motion does not pass
  • Someone votes against, which brings it to 7 ayes and 3 nays, which does meet the quorum so the motion now passes.

This motion proposes a system where a motion passing is not dependent on the total number of votes cast, only the number of ŋations present at the meeting and the number of ayes. The reason that there is a requirement on the number of ayes is to prevent situations where e.g. there are lots of ŋations at the meeting, so it reaches the quorum, but only one ŋation actually votes on the motion, and that ŋation votes in favour, causing the motion to pass by a single vote.

Quorum amounts

Currently, the number of ŋations present required by (2) is ¼ of non-observer members, and the number of ayes required by (3) would thus be the number of non-observer members divided by eight.

Notes

Long discussion. The outcome is basically, there are some issues w/ absentia voting. Absentia voting will be moved to be after the meeting; there will be a working group to figure out what to do.

Xhesas: The first in-absentia vote was by pleb; therefore, pleb is responsible for this mess.

This motion has been closed so we can figure out what to do here.

On Comprehension in Absentee Voting [CONST]

Rejected

Background

Since the 21st UŊ meeting, information on meeting-present votes vs. absentee votes has been marked in the wiki page. Using data from those votes, I have created graphs that show that present votes consistently involve more disagree than absentee votes, which I argue indicates a decrease of nuance conveyed to absentee voters.

Votes made during the meetings have the luxury of having a motion be clarified through presentation, questioning, and debate, but votes made in anticipation of absence do not. While the description of the motion can give valuable information, and discussion can be had in the #uŋ channel, the majority of absentee voters do not participate in discussion (and longer discussions discourage some from reading them). Moreover, the description of a motion only serves as a brief explanation before the meeting. It is *during* the meeting that crucial information is typically brought to light for the widest audience.

Considering this, I believe there is an argument to be made that absentee voters generally are not as informed as meeting-present voters. If I am correct, it can have risks. Viewing these graphs, there is far more disagreement amongst present voters than absentee voters, who have relatively consistent voting patterns by contrast. Absentee voters tend to lean toward supporting motions. Present voters are visibly mixed in their support. If both present and absentee voters had equal levels of comprehension, the patterns would not look as different as they do. I believe this could risk unintentonally-harmful motions passing because absentee votes make up a majority of votes while not understanding the drawbacks of what is voted on.

Proposal

To combat this, I propose absentee votes be required to give a minimum 1-2 sentence explanation of why they voted for/against a motion as proof that they are informed on the risks of a motion (if any), lest their vote be counted as half.

While the majority of absentee votes are due to time limitations (shown in Attachment 3), and time constraints impact absentee voters' ability to provide explanations, I hold that it is of greater risk to allow uninformed full votes than to allow uninformed half votes.

Concessions

Granted, I only have 3 meetings worth of data. If this motion is rejected, I will continue to collect data as more meetings are held to further assess the situation.


  • For the graphs: X Axis = Motion Number, Y Axis = Number of Votes. The gaps in “Abstain” votes comes from that time in the 22nd meeting where we stopped counting abstain votes.

Notes

Closed for the same reason as 24.11.

On UŊ Oversight of Cenrail Corporation [LEG]

Passed

The UŊTO will oversee Cenrail activities. This would allow Cenrail more access to UŊ members and keep everyone on the same page.

Reasoning

Having both the UŊTO and the Cenrail Corporation seems redundant. Although redundancy is good to some extent, I don't think it's wholly necessary in this case. While there will likely never be a case where Cenrail has a serious disagreement with the UŊTO, Rauratoshan would like to motion for the UŊTO to oversee Cenrail activities. This would allow Cenrail more access to UŊ members and keep everyone on the same page.

Notes

Hilja: Can the UŊ do this? This is effectively seizing a private corporation.

Marcy: It’s not really a well-managed company.

Villnark: Is it so bad that the UŊ has to step in?

Xhesas: It just says ‘oversee’, not manage.

Marcy: The UŊ is pretty slow...

Annwan: It is, but the officers are usually pretty fast.

Marcy: There should be an office for this.

Annwan: There is now?

Marcy: So Cenrail should be managed by this office? I wouldn’t mind that.

Xhesas: It’s not like it would be managed or owned by it, but just overseen by it.

Marcy: Is there really any difference in that?

Ætérnal: I don’t think there is.

Marcy: Cenrail is already collaborating w/ the UŊ.

Annwan: So basically, we’re making Cenrail ‘de facto’ part of the UŊ.

Xhesas: Actually, the UŊ would be part of Cenrail.

Ætérnal: (had to move someone to Guam 3 because they kept causing uproar in the assembly hall)

On instating the Interngational Ghast Transportation Management Office (IGTMO) [LEG]

Rejected

§1 Creation of a Ghast Transportation Management Office

  1. Standardization and Optimization of air traffic routes
  2. Approval of new airports being made to ensure that new potential routes don't disrupt each other
  3. Include safety and security standards across all ghastports
  4. Ensure safe and efficient flights and cargo standards
  5. Submit codes to UNgOCDS for consistent standardization
  6. Coordinate with UNgTO, with connected rail and highway transportation
  7. Coordinate with the Office of Cartography for the marking of ghastports and air traffic routes
  8. This section may be amended to create, remove, and modify roles as necessary in subsequent motions.

§2 Definitions

  1. Air traffic routes, are a planned route that would be used to transport from one airport to another.
  2. Safety and Security Standards are there to prevent any unsafe or illegal activity during flights interngationally.
  3. "Ghastport" refers to a bounded and contiguous area where people can depart, arrive or dock a ghast.
  4. A "ghast" refers to a Happy Ghast, which is a non-hostile mob that allows player transportation with a harness.
  5. This section may be amended to create, remove, and modify roles as necessary in subsequent motions.

Notes

Ætérnal: I don’t think we need a separate office for that.

Rejected: this should just be merged into the UŊTO.

Creation of the UŊ Interŋational Management of Frontiers [CONST]

Rejected

Ætérnal recently stated that activity is required to maintain a claim and that banned players' claims are dissolved, with wills abolished. To manage this, Rauratoshan proposes that we create an office for observing for activity and managing what happens to inactive ŋations, the UŊIMF.

Notes

Dismissed: this is not something the UŊ should be managing.

Rewording of Motion 2.2 [CONST]

Rejected by Vote

Motion 2.2 is unclear in what is meant by "block traffic" in the sentence, "A bridge or tunnel across a body of water must leave at least 7 blocks free for block traffic every 100 blocks of span." It is also unclear what this sentence means. This motion moves to rewording Motion 2.2 to make it easily understood.

Notes

Annwan: This motion basically just fixes a typo I made.

Suqi: The text of 2.2 wasn’t particularly clear to me.

Annwan: It is well-defined except for that typo.

Xhesas: I remember having a very detailed discussion on how to precisesly define this.

Marcy: 2.2 basically led to the establishment of the UŊ.

Dismissed: Comment by Ætérnal: There was a typo here (see the meeting minutes); this is an editorial issue that doesn’t require a separate motion. This motion is dismissed. If the submitter sill believes 2.2 to be unclear after the typo is fixed, they are welcome to submit a new motion that includes the text of any proposed amendments to 2.2

On Adding Saithe's Castle [EXEC]

Passed

Saithe's Castle, consisting of the island containing the castle and the drawbridge to it, is to be turned into a UŊ Protectorate, most likely under the jurisdiction of the Office of Education, Science and Culture.

Reasoning

It is one of the few bases from before the Raid (per its wiki page), so I think that it deserves UŊESCO protection similar to other pre-Raid bases such as Phoeŋix and the Capitol. Previous UŊESCO sites are now "under the jurisdiction of the Office of Education, Science and Culture." per 23.9. (for clarification on the area feel free to refer to the original ɱotion as proposed in the discord, which included an image)

Notes

Xhesas: Do we know what happened to Saithe.

Annwan: They’re still active on the discord but not on nguhcraft.

Xhesas: Should we ask them.

Ætérnal: They’ve been asked before and said they weren’t interested in it anymore, I believe.

Xhesas: As an officer of the UŊESCO, I’m fine w/ that.

On Assuring Activity in UŊ Applicants [CONST]

Passed

UŊ applications are to be limited to ŋations already having existed on the server for at least two weeks before the application. This is to be measured from the first date they declare the ŋation in #⁠map-updates.

Example

If a ŋation started existing on May 13, it would first become eligible to join the UŊ on May 27.

Reasoning

A state which forms, joins the UŊ, and immediately becomes inactive can drag up the required quorum and make it unnecessarily harder to hit them. Additionally, a state which enters the UŊ and immediately dissolves can cause unnecessary trouble in having to remove things made for that ŋation. Before the 23rd meeting, ŋations would have to wait a period before being able to join the UŊ at its next meeting; for example, for Dróstsiśtsi it was 12 days (Apr 7->Apr 19). This allowed time for the more unstable ŋations to dissolve themselves before joining. The asynchronous method employed per 23.11 removes this limitation.

Additionally, a two week limit already has precedent in limiting joining of unstable ŋations. See Bootland, which began on Apr 22 ⁠⁠<1>, applied for membership on May 4th, and ceased to exist on May 6th <2>. May 6th is directly two weeks after Apr 22nd; the delay in applying for membership by almost two weeks was enough for the poll to still be ongoing when Bootland dissolved. Bootland's admission was already unlikely to hit the needed quorum, but this measure would enforce a limit to prevent similar cases from other ŋations.

<1>: Discord Message link.

<2>: Discord Message link.

Notes

Not much to say, this was already an informal rule.

Villnark: I like this way of voting; people are racing to get their vote in before it passes, so the voting takes less time now.

On Nether Treaty Buildings [CONST]

Rejected

From now on, all Nether buildings are property of the ŋation that built them. If someone wishes to build a new building within 16 blocks of an existing building, they have to ask the owners of that building for permission first. This will ensure that incidents are resolved diplomatically where possible.

Reasoning

While the Nether cannot be directly claimed by another ŋation, there have been incidents regarding people building disruptively in the Nether. Therefore, this ɱotion is made.

Notes

This, too, isn’t really within the remit of the UŊ, and there are already laws about this too.

Villnark: This is not an anarchy server; common sense is a thing.

Marcy: Agreed.

Ætérnal: Dismissed on accounts of this being common sense, I should hope. (It also is just part of the server rules already.)

On the Prevention of Horse-Minecart Explosions on the Rail System [LEG]

Rejected

  1. Horses are not allowed on interŋational railways.
  2. Being caught putting a horse on an interŋational railway will result in a fine, the amount of which at the discretion of the ICJ.
  3. Horses may cross an interŋational railway, so long as they only cross once in a 5 minute period and are on the rail for no more than 5 seconds.

Notes

Martinawa: Should we restrict this to surface railways?

Villnark: Who in the world is actually riding horses underground?

Xhesas: I actually did at one point.

Marcy: I think it should be restricted to interŋational railways.

Xhesas: This rule should not apply if this can’t cause anyone any harm (e.g. if there is no-one online).

Annwan: Basically, the crime isn’t doing this but rather getting caught doing it.

Hilja: We’ve never done fines before; we’d have to figure that out.

Xhesas: Actually, we *have*. When we fined Elisa.

Hilja: But that was because she stole something.

Xhesas: A ŋation should be able to have their own rules in ŋations.

Annwan: I propose changing ‘any’ to ‘interŋational’.

Marcy: I’d like to imagine that the ESC has a rollercoaster of horses.

Annwan: They’re not even a UŊ member though.

Ætérnal: Is anyone against changing the text of the motion to say ‘interŋational’.

(No response; motion was amended accordingly).

Sebroar: Can we specify that countries should be able to override it.

N3: I feel like specifying ‘interŋational’ already does that.

Sven: What counts as interŋational?

Ætérnal: See the motion on the establishment of the UŊTO earlier; basically every railway that is not entirely within a single ŋation.

The motion did not receive enough Ayes to pass and was marked as rejected.

On the Creation of the Department of Horse Vehicles [LEG]

Rejected: Improper

§1

  1. The Department of Horse Vehicles (hereon referred to as the DHV) is to be created, with its goal to determine the ownership of all horses on the server.
  2. The DHV is to assign a Horse Identification Numberer, hereon referred to as a HIN.
  3. The DHV is to keep track of which HIN is assigned to which person.
  4. The DHV should not disclose the ownership of a given HIN, except for in the case of 1.5.
  5. On request from the ICJ, the DHV is to provide the owner of a given HIN to the ICJ.

§2

  1. In order for a horse to legally be ridden interŋationally, it must be registered with the DHV and be named its HIN.
  2. The HIN is to be used to determine ownership when any crime involving a horse has been committed.
  3. The DHV is to be notified on transfer of a horse from one owner to another.
  4. Horse Dealerships are to report the HIN of horses they've sold either once a week or on sale of the horse, whichever is longer.
  5. The owner of a given horse as per the HIN is considered legally responsible for any Horse Crimes committed with the horse.

Notes

Martinawa: This is the DMV but for horses.

N3: This motion kind of exists to enforce 20, which we just rejected.

Ætérnal: Would you like to retract it then?

N3: No, it’d still be really funny if we passed it anyway.

algonquian basque pigeon: HORSE LICENSE PLATES

N3: (reading the text of the motion)

Ætérnal: ‘Horse Dealerships’

algonquian basque pigeon: ‘HORSE CRIMES’

Xhesas: This is a frivolous motion.

Suqi: This is ludicrously unnecessary and a waste of UŊ time and resources. I'm voting for it.

Xhesas: There also is no such thing as a ‘department’.

Annwan: Frivolous, ¹⁰/₁₀ S-Tier Shitpost

Hilja: I oppose the creation of horse licence plates.

accruenewblue: are we gonna have to invoke 24.7 twice before even passing 24.7 (referring to 24.5)

Suqi: yes

Ætérnal: @N3 if you want to propose this again, you first need to make a motion that allows the UŊ to make departments.

Suqi: N3 PLEASE PROPOSE THIS AGAIN

Marcy: in kyaw cen, horses used to be people, but they aren't anymore

Annwan: It’s a very fun shitpost, but no, no need to vote on this.

Rejected because the UŊ doesn’t have departments.

Ætérnal: If you’re making a motion that is maybe not exactly frivolous but still very silly, I’m going to respond in kind when it comes to due process for approving it.

Xhesas: If you want to know whether a motion is frivolous, just propose it to the unUŊ and see if it passes.

Final comments on the Twenty-fourth meeting

N3: Is there a limit to how long motions can be?

Ætérnal: Currently, 10 000 bytes.

Martinawa: How do I know if something constitutes a motion that I can propose?

Ætérnal: Just propose it; we’ll reject it if it isn’t.

There were some more dicussions about horses.

This concludes the meeting.

Twenty-fifth Meeting

Alternate Wording for Motion 2.2 [LEG]

Passed

Motion 2.2 is reworded as follows:

  1. A bridge or tunnel that spans across a body of water and has large portions that reach into or near the water, must include a gap to allow for boat passage underneath.
  2. The gap must be a minimum of 3 blocks above the water's surface and 3 blocks wide.
  3. In the gap, 2 or more blocks beneath the water level must be unobstructed, i.e. only contain water source blocks or collisionless waterlogged blocks.
  4. The water underneath the gaps must have equal elevation to the surrounding water level.
  5. If the bridge/tunnel is between 7 and 100 (inclusive) blocks from beginning to end, the gap must be at least 7 blocks wide.
  6. For each additional 100-block span, there must be an additional gap that is at least 7 blocks wide. The spaces between gaps, as well between the first/last gaps and the ends of the bridge must not exceed 100 blocks.
  7. This motion shall not apply if compliance with it would entail altering the natural depth or width of the river or body of water in question.

Motivation

Motion 2.2 is intended to apply limitations on bridges to allow for water traffic to pass underneath. However, significant confusion has resulted from the failure to mention that it references bridges with supports that reach under the water. As Coldba understands it, this motion was made in reference to the Monke Island line, a bridge which did or does have a significant amount of itself reaching beneath the surface of the water. As numerous forms of bridges are possible to build in Minecraft, including many without any underwater component, it is unlikely the average reader will understand the shape of the bridge referenced in Motion 2.2, so this rewording is proposed.

On changing the absentee voting period to be after the meetings [CONST]

Rejected

  • The absentee voting period is changed to be after the meetings.
  • Motions cannot be voted on before the meeting.
  • Motions can be voted on during the meeting.
  • Motions can be voted on during the absentee voting period, if the motion has not already been passed or rejected.
  • If the motion reaches a majority of all active members (present or not, voting or not) voting in favour or against during the meeting vote or during the absentee voting period, then it immediately gets passed or rejected, respectively, and the vote is over.
  • If a motion has not reached a majority of all active members voting a certain way after the vote at the meeting, then the vote is left open for absentee votes for 7 days, or until it reaches a majority per the previous point.
  • If a majority of all active members has not been reached after the 7 days of absentee voting, then the motion passes if the number of ayes (votes in favour) is greater than half the quorum.
  • The quorum in the last point is the number of ŋations that were present at the meeting plus the number of ŋations that voted in absentia.
  • If a ŋation is present at a meeting, but does not vote at the meeting, and later votes in absentia, then that ŋation is only counted for the quorum once.
  • If passed, this motion does not take effect until the next meeting.

Explanatory Notes

Pleb: I think maybe if we treat the voting period after exec/legal motions like we currently treat const motions, perhaps we instead make the distinction that const motions require a larger/qualified majority to pass

Response: I think the way it currently works is that a majority of people at the vote at the meeting need to vote in favour of a constitutional motion in order for it to be sent to the rest to vote on, and if it works like that and the absentee voting period is moved to be after the meeting then the people at the meeting decide if the others get to vote on it (currently you can vote on a constitutional motion before the meeting in absentia, so this problem does not exist in the same way), so I made this proposal because I thought this would be more fair to people who can't make the meeting because of timezones/work/whatever.

Notes

Viklo: I think most people agree that the current system with voting in absentia taking place before the meeting has some issues, and it was never formally established, so the rules have always been a bit nebulous. There have been several cases where we notice during a meeting that a motion should be changed or split, which is a problem when some have already voted, and people voting in absentia before the meeting do not have access to the discussion that takes place during the meeting. That latter issue would be somewhat remedied by having the absentee voting after, since absentee voters would at least have access to the comments that are recorded in the meeting minutes on the wiki. I also think that absentee voting is something that we should have in some form, since some people can never make meetings due to timezones. As some may know, I proposed a motion last meeting for this that was rejected because it was not fully polished. In particular, the main issue is what the precise conditions should be for a motion passing. I will try to illustrate this by bringing up two possible alternatives that both have issues. One rule could be that a motion passes if more than 50 percent of all UŊ members vote in favour. The problem with this is that there are often people that don't vote or turn up to the meeting so motions may struggle to pass under this rule. Also, note that abstaining under this rule is essentially voting no. Another rule could be that there simply needs to be more yes votes than no votes. In this system, abstentions are true abstentions that don't tip the balance either way. The problem with this is that a motion could pass with, say, two yes votes to one no vote and an absurd amount of abstentions, which would not be good. The rule that I propose is that the number of yes votes needs to be more than half the number of the quorum. The quorum starts as the number of meeting participants, and if someone votes in abentia, then it increases. This means that people who abstain at the meeting are effectively voting no, and people who don't turn up to the meeting and don't vote in absentia either are true abstentions. I think this makes sense because if you are at a meeting and don't vote then maybe you aren't really in favour but if you don't even turn up or vote then maybe you don't care.

Astaryuu: I don't like this motion, because it wouldn't allow motions for this meeting to be voted in absentia.

Annwan: We never have officially formally defined absentia voting anyway.

Ætérnal:

  • Absentee voting period before makes no sense
  • The current motion has weird stuff for quorum counding
  • Proposition:
    • Motions are voted on during the meeting with quorum = max(#ung_members/4, #present_members/2)
    • If motion doesn't pass or fail by the end of the meeting, it is open to absentia vote with quorum #ung_members/2
    • If motion still doesn't pass after 7 days it is rejected.

Motion not voted on, Ætérnal’s proposal has been moved to the new motion #Formalising in-abstentia voting to be after the meeting [CONS]

On Typos, Clarifications and Rewordings of Motions [CONST]

Passed

§1 A typo in a motion is defined as any spelling or grammatical mistake.

  • If a typo is to be fixed, it must be done so asynchronously with the approval of at least 2 other UŊ member states.
  • Such a correction may be reverted with the approval of at least 5 UŊ member states.
  • A correction and the reversion of a correction must be logged in #uŋ

§2 A rewording of a motion is defined as a major change in the meaning of a motion in part or in full. The rewording of a motion must happen through a normal motion with exact text provided. In particular, if a change to the text of a motion could be construed as altering its meaning, it is not a typo; any such change requires a full motion.

Reasoning

  • For typos, there are many typos in UŊ motions and fixing them would be a good idea, but just letting people running around changing the text of UŊ motions is not a good idea and making every typo correction a full on motion is also not a good idea.
  • For rewordings, it's just how it's always worked, see motion 24.1

On the Status of Þunan Ŋáce [EXEC]

Passed

All buildings in the area in and around the former Þunan Qumreá province of Þunan Ŋáce are to be protected by UŊESCO.

Context

The Thasusan Union has recently claimed Þunan Ŋáce and its surrounding area (Discord Message Link) and aims to create spaces for its meetings and offices there.

Noting that:

  • The Lighthouse sitting on the lake in Þunan Ŋáce (also known as ‘Star Tower’) has been proposed as a UŊESCO site by several member states, including a UŊESCO officer (https://discord.com/channels/697450809390268467/1412053594882048000/1430911864438788106)
  • As a founding member and active participant of the United Ŋations during its heyday, the history of Þunan Qumreá constitutes Ŋorld and UŊ history worth preserving
  • The recent warlord regime proposes a threat to the architecture and prosperity of the region
  • The Thasusan Union has actively requested UŊESCO involvement in its zone of control
  • The Thasusan Union plans to modify structures in the area for its own uses, which may threaten the value of the site if not handled carefully

On Ŋambling in Member Ŋations [LEG]

Rejected

If a gambling activity which requires monetary investment to partake in exists, it must show the odds of all prizes. Otherwise, gambling is done at the gambler's risk, and the IŊCJ will not rule in favor of the gambler unless it violates this rule or any rule made hereafter on it.

Detailed explanation

For example, if it were a member ŋation, ESC's trading card business would be required to list the odds for each rarity of card in the venue where the purchase takes place.

Rationale

Fakeworld equivalents of these rules by the European Union have shown great success in reducing the scamfulness of these types of mechanics. Not to mention, Nguhcraft is hosted by a server in the European Union, and it is a server on a game produced by a member nation of the European Union, so it is theoretically possible, though highly unlikely, that fakeworld legal trouble could be brought to Nguhcraft over not following this guideline. The above is irrelevant because ŋambling occurs with Slab-based currency, not fakeworld currency, though technically glanga have a fakeworld value, so maybe Enkavak should patch that out /j

Notes

Deemed frivolous

Clarification on the boundaries of the Kog'eññe Cultural Heritage Site [EXEC]

Passed

Given that the creation of the Kog'eññe Cultural Heritage site in 14.1 did not defined its boundaries further than just the Kog'eññe Natural Reserve, which is defined in 13.5 as the entirety of the former ŋation of Kog'eññe and how cultural heritage sites are supposed to be actual structures, it is hereby clarified that the Kog'eññe Cultural Heritage site only includes the developed structures of the former ŋation of Kog'eññe.

Note: The map below shows the new (the smaller outline) and old (the larger outline) extents of the heritage site.

Notes

Viklo: Can we add a map?

Hilja: I can make a really rough map rn if you want.

Ætérnal: That isn't necessary to pass the motion

Establish the Department of Nautical Vehicles [LEG]

Rejected

  1. The Department of Nautical Vehicles (here after the DNV) is established as a United Ŋations Office.
  2. For a boat to be allowed to park at a public harbour in a UŊ member ŋation, it shall be registered with a ŋational agency registered to DNV and be named with that ŋation’s 3 letter code, followed by the Boat Registration Record (BRR) assigned by the ŋational agency. ¹
  3. For the purposes of this motion, « boat » refers to any of the entities with #minecraft:boat tag, or their chest varients

Rationale

Various harbours and ports across the ŋorld are perpetually full of boats that are not accounted for, taking up space for legitimate use. This motions allows accountability on the ownership of nautical vehicles to allow a smoother use of the harbours and ports of the ŋorld

Footnotes

¹ For example, a boat registered in the Free City of Yetch Bay (code IMR) with the BRR of `3445FQPT` would be renamed `IMR/3445FQPT`

Rejected by vote

On the status of South S'elivo [EXEC]

Passed

Per the source "A Sofaoan Voyage into Darkest Slabland: an Expedition into Kiatzenha Teekonkaapanün", the island of South S'elivo has pre-Hentzo structures upon it, notably a tall glass and stone tower. Seeing as the island has remained unclaimed since the dissolution of Hentzo, the island of South S'elivo, located approximately 300 blocks northwest of Yija, should be made into a UŊESCO heritage site.

On finding the owners of ghasts [LEG]

Passed

Noting the fact that ghasts have been found occupying space in ghastports,

Noting further that questions on who owns these ghasts usually go entirely unanswered,

All ghasts left in a foreign country shall be given a name which allows for its owner or ŋation to be easily determined by any individual from said host country. Examples of such naming include country codes, a nearby sign with information about the owner, or a name corresponding to a list on the wiki. Failure to comply with this shall result in the ghast becoming property of the host country, as shall failure by the owner to remove the ghast at the request of the host country.

Notes

Jay: So essentially this is doing the Department of Nether Vehicles

On the Demarcation of UŊESCO Heritage Sites [LEG]

Rejected

In amendment of 23.9: Protectorates of the UŊ are henceforth, for the intent of server rules, claims. The borders of a protectorate must be marked in some way, either on the UŊCO world map or with an in-world barrier, such as fencing or walls. Such a barrier should be placed around the entire protectorate to signify what is protected. In-world barriers should be marked so as to clearly be placed by the UŊ, rather than part of the original site, such as via signage at the entrance(s).

UŊ Protectorates thus marked can be claimed by another entity (henceforth "parent ŋation"), which is referred to as a "claimed protectorate." However, protectorates require UŊ approval to be claimed by the parent ŋation, and may only be claimed under the promise that the parent ŋation does not destroy the site. If they are unclaimed by their parent ŋation, they return to UŊ stewardship.

If damage is done to a protectorate whose borders were not clear by either of the above methods, then it cannot be held against them in the IŊCJ unless their actions can be shown to have had malicious intent. A parent ŋation could prosecute such affairs, though.

Rationale

The UŊCO decided UŊESCO Heritage Sites are no longer marked on the Ŋorld Map. However, this runs counter to 14.1, which holds that damaging UŊ protectorates is a violation of interŋational law. In tandem with rules regarding Nguhri2na, such as 21.7, it is implied that UŊ policy is that such damage constitutes griefing. However, a player cannot be expected to not grief a place that appears to be terra nullius, when server rules state that terra nullius isn't a claim. As a result, they could grief a site whilst thinking it was just an unclaimed structure and thus free real estate.

Since it is unclear as to whether or not UŊ protectorates are claims, this ɱotion resolves this obscurity.

Notes

Rejected because unclear/unapplicable

On the status of Steve [EXEC]

Passed

The Paulological site known as "Steve" or as the "Ruined City" is an important part of Nguhcraft's archaeological heritage and shows evidence of pre-Raid construction. Seeing as it has remained unclaimed since the dissolution of Þunan Qumreá, the structures on the island on which Steve is located should be made into a UŊESCO heritage site, including the underground sections, but _not including_ the patch of podzol.

In the below image, Steve is the location in terra nullius encircled.

  • Steve's location between Thasusa and Archipelagia, labeled in a black circle

On Cultural Heritage Site Law [LEG]

Passed

This Motion expands on 14.1 (On the establishment of an United Ŋations Education, Science and Culture Office (UŊESCO) [LEGAL]) If the original builder of a UŊESCO Heritage Site rejoins and claims the site as a territory, the Heritage Site status is reverted. A UŊESCO Heritage Site has to be defined as a structure and not a territory. 'Structure' in this case also refers to groups of structures.

On the Suspicion Island UŊESCO site [LEG]

Passed

The UŊESCO site on Suspicion Island has no reason to exist and is hereby dissolved.

Reasoning

Noting that the task of the United Ŋations Education, Science and Culture Office is to protect and and spread historical, cultural and scientific findings and to ensure safe access to cultural heritage sites,

Considering however that the UŊESCO heritage site of Suspicion Island is home to exactly 1 structure, that being a 1 block high fence encircling the whole island, which is present across all of Amuj

  • Appendix 1: Aerial Photo of Suspicion Island
    Appendix 1: Aerial Photo of Suspicion Island

On the Design of UŊESCO In-World Barriers [EXEC]

Rejected

Should it be decided that UŊESCO Heritage Sites are to be marked with an in-world barrier, Coldba suggests this barrier be a line of light blue wool around the site with pale oak fences and/or fence gates on top of each wool block. This would be a unique and identifiable way to represent the site's association with the United Ŋations if the site were to be too large to see signage or banners from all locations.

Note: Rejected because #On the Demarcation of UŊESCO Heritage Sites [LEG] was rejected

On Clarifying the Admission Process [CONST]

Rejected

The grace period of a ŋation is defined, for the purposes of this motion, as the period in between a ŋation being first created, measured as the first date they declare the ŋation in #⁠map-updates, and the time the ŋation exists for two weeks, which is to be similarly measured.

Motions for the admission of a ŋation may start before the ŋation's grace period, but they shall not end before the grace period, even if a majority is reached. This motion supercedes and supplants motion 24.18.

Reasoning

The goal of this is to uphold the reasoning of motion 24.18 while also allowing for faster applications. If a member ŋation wishes to wait until the grace period ends, they can just not vote until then. I suggest a second ping to remind people to vote when the grace period ends, but that is on Ætérnal to decide.

Credit

Something like this was originally suggested by Seo in #uŋ: Discord message link

Notes

Rejected for implematation headaches.

On the Creation of a Pet Database and Recovery of Lost Pets [????]

Rejected: Not Supported

For the purposes of this motion, a pet is defined as any mob that is tameable, rideable or that can trust the player in the version of Minecraft used in Nguhcraft and/or the most recent non-snapshot version of Minecraft: Java Edition.

The name of a pet is defined as the text which appears on top of the pet's head when hovering the crosshair over the pet when near enough, as a result of using a name tag on the pet.

NOTE: You may find a list that includes all mobs that qualify as pets at https://minecraft.wiki/w/Taming#List_of_mobs

§1 Creation of a common database for pet names

  • A place for storing information on pets, most importantly species, name and owner, shall be created.
  • A pet can only be added to said place either by the pet's owner or by request of the pet's owner.
  • By adding or requesting the addition of a pet's information to the database

§2 On alternative methods of identifying a pet's owner

  • Pets may be identified by appending a ŋation's two or three letter code somewhere on the pet's name clearly separated from the main name.
  • Pets may also be identified by appending a player's name to the pet's name, also clearly separated.

§3 On finding and returning a lost pet

  • A lost pet must be kept within a safe place such that it will not die.
  • A lost pet should not be delivered to its owner by the player who found it without explicit permission from the pet's owner.
  • If a lost pet is identified through §2.2 and it is not clear who is the owner of said pet, the burden of finding the owner is initially placed on the identified ŋation's leader.
  • If a lost pet's owner is not identified through any of the methods laid out here and has not been found for a period of at least one month since finding the lost pet, the ŋation that owns the territory within which the pet has been kept may seize the pet. This must be declared to #uŋ.

Notes

Annwan: Just make a damn wiki page, this doesn't need be a law

Rejected for improper procedure

Preventing Mob Destruction on the Nether Roof [LEG]

Passed

§1 All buildings on the nether roof, except for mob farms, must be spawnproofed to such an extent as to prevent hostile mobs from spawning. If a structure does not prevent mob spawning, the responsible player must be told about it and asked to fix the problem. If they refuse, do not respond, give permission to spawnproof it, or if no responsible player can be found, other UŊ members have a right to edit the structure only in such a way as to spawnproof the structure.

§2 Mob farms are allowed to spawn the mobs they farm as long as they are within a controlled space and not allowed to escape; if a farm is built that allows mobs to escape, the prior regulation will take effect.

§3 This motion constitutes an exception to motion 12.8.

Reasoning

  1. A player afking the spawn gold farm on the nether roof has been killed by a ghast twice in two days. Everything in the farm itself and immediate area seems to be spawnproofed, so it's not immediately clear what has been spawning these ghasts. This would allow us to edit whatever other structure has been spawning these.
  2. Ghasts are the most destructive mob to spawn on the nether roof. Other mobs like skeletons and even endermen are limited to scuttling around on the ground with limited attack range, while ghasts can fly around and throw fireballs that can destroy blocks (and indeed have destroyed some of the gold farm's floor). If done by a player this can constitute minor griefing, especially if it destroys something essential for the structure (eg. allowing piglins at the spawn gold farm to escape the limited enclosure mid farming).
  3. Griefing is already banned under interŋational law, and previous UŊ rules 9.2 and 11.2 already limit states' abilities to allow mob spawning. To an extent this motion is an extension of those two rules to the nether roof. Note that this does not apply to anything built below the nether roof, or in non-nether dimensions.

Formalising in-absentia voting to be after the meeting [CONST]

Passed

  1. If a motion is neither passed nor rejected during a meeting, members shall be able to vote on it for a period of 7 days after the end of the meeting.
  2. The quorum for the motion is adjusted accordingly to be 1⁄2 of all active members (as of the end of the meeting).
  3. If the motion is still not passed or rejected after 7 days have passed, it shall be rejected.
  4. This does not apply to motions that were scheduled for a meeting but never voted on.

On the Speaker's Veto [CONST]

Passed

The Speaker of a meeting is allowed to reject a motion without a vote if no member present at the meeting wants to hold said vote.

Note

While it is possible for the speaker to be too eager and reject a motion before someone can object, it’s possible to reset a motion and undo the rejection so people can vote on it should such an objection be made reasonably soon after the rejection (e.g. if someone objects an hour after the fact then that’s too late).

Twenty-sixth Meeting

On Wither fighting [LEG]

(Waiting)

Since wither skulls fly forever, Rauratoshan motions for wither fights in the overworld or nether roof to only be permissible within Witherproof container, as this is the only way to ensure the skulls don't fly off and explode extremely distant areas, such as Cataw in the forwarded message, from the Madlands.

"The Realm of Madness would heavily support lack of restrictions on wither spawning in the nether interior :hotspot:" -- Suqi from Coldba (Cuba)

"someone should make a public wither shanker" -- Apollyon of Hajdislant

On Recordkeeping [CONST]

(Dismissed)

Motion texts and votes should be recorded in both the Nguhcraft Wiki AND the UŊ website. Ever since the website was created, the wiki shows no information on the meetings we've had since then, and because the website is down, we do not know except by memory what was voted on, passed, and rejected.

On Lautseq territories [EXEC]

(Waiting)

The territories labeled as "Wartime City of Lautseq Kceuua" shall be UŊESCO heritage sites. This includes Lautseq Kceuua and the mall in former Lavvakcesaa.

On the Anti-Lavvakcesaa Outpost [EXEC]

(Waiting)

The territory labeled as "Anti-Lavvakcesaa Outpost" shall be a UŊESCO heritage site. This includes an Atlantic building, a Hajdislant pentagram, some Imerchali boats and the ruins of a Lavvakcesaan building that was exploded during the war.

A Motion for the Dissolution of the United Ŋations [CONST]

(Waiting)
