Global Treaty Organization Expansion Bill (Debating)

[Purple State]

I will accept an amendment to include the RoK and Norway as friendly.

Just as a note; the GM should inform us of the ratification process of this treaty in each of the concerned countries knowing their governments, legislatures and so forth.

Already brainstorming it. I've got it covered.

Israel should be included.

That would be ridiculously stupid.

Would make for a much more interesting article from the GM.

[Purple State]

The GTO should include countries of major relevance on the world stage, and countries that are close partners of Atlasian.

People can stop nominating their favourite foreign country.

I thought the point of a Global Treaty Organization was to make the strongest alliance possible which would entail having as many allies as possible right?

There is actually a growing buzz around "minilateralism" in the international relations field, in which agreement of the fewest necessary number of nations is sought to achieve the desired result.

Well call me old fashioned then

Not, of course, to rule out multilateralism. I just read an interesting piece a few weeks back about that emerging field. Both are needed and beneficial in their own ways, so whatever the Senate chooses will have its pros and cons.

Bear in mind that 4/5 of GTO member nations must approve of all nations petitioning for admittance.
