(RL15)THE DEFENSIVE ACT
Should we institute an immigration permit to investigate nations that enter the region to ensure whether or not they are raiders? Raider(s) is defined as a nation or nations that are entering the region to gain power through government or other means, it also includes nations that come to the region violating many laws and/or harming the region. If suspected as raiders the first measure may be a questionnaire sent to the nation, and/or is to see the age of their nation (to help prevent raider puppets), and/or to see where they came from, other methods and steps may be taken by the appropriate nations to investigate if needed. No nation can be banned without solid evidence showing the nation is a threat to the region as a raider. Nations without the proper authority are not authorized to commence their own personal investigations. Nations proven to be raiders must be ejected. If they are a pure and noted threat or if they return after ejection without approval it grants the right to ban the said nation. If a nation thinks they have been removed on invalid terms they must contact the General Assembly, providing evidence showing that they are not a threat to the region.

(FL5)LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA BILL
The bill legalizes the use of Marijuana for recreational, medical, and any other usage as long as the user is not in a public location to protect the well being of surrounding people. This bill recognizes that Marijuana can temporary impair the user and causes short term problems such as Sensory Distortion, Panic, Anxiety, or even Poor Coordination of Movement and long term cause lung problems, growth disorders, and sexual problems. This bill counters these though with the fact that the majority of these only affect the user but for the safety of the public due to poor movement, sensory, and emotional change would only legalize Marijuana in a private, non-public location such as a residency or hotel room but does not legalize it for places such as restaurants, in cars, or any public location.

(FL6)COMPREHENSIVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS ASSESSMENT BAN BILL
AN ACT calling for the Nations in agreement to be restricted from testing nuclear weapons.
COMPREHENSIVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS ASSESSMENT BAN BILL
Proposed by the Republican Majority Representative on the Twenty Third of April of the year Two Thousand Sixteen, be it enacted by the Member Nations of The Insane Region assembled,
All text in these Articles are hereby agreed upon by all the Nations,
ARTICLE I BASIC OBLIGATIONS
I. Each Nation accedes not to effectuate any nuclear weapons assessment, test or any other corroboration or execution and to prohibit and suppress any such nuclear weapons assessment at any place under its jurisdiction, authority, or administration.
II. The Nations in unison agree on defining weapon as any instrument or device for use in attack or in combat of nuclear status, and to include but not limit any projectile or massively destructive harming device of the sort.
III. Each Nation undertakes, furthermore, to refrain from causing, encouraging, or in any way participating in the performance or execution of an assessment of any nuclear weapon corroboration or execution or any other nuclear weapons assessment as such.
ARTICLE II GENERAL PROVISIONS
I. The Nations hereby establish the Comprehensive Nuclear Weapons Assessment Ban (hereinafter referred to as The Resolution to achieve the object and purpose of the Treaty, to ensure the implementation of the provisions, including those for international verification of compliance and cooperation of the Resolution with it.
II. Each Nation shall cooperate in the exercise of the function in accordance with the commission of the Resolution among themselves or through the authority or ministry of the collective body in accordance with the Resolution or any related matter to be raised in direct coordiance with the implementation and provisions of the Resolution.
ARTICLE III FOUNDATIONS OF EXPOSITION
I. The National Resources Defense Council estimates the total yield of all nuclear weapons tests between 1945 and 1980 around five hundred and ten megatons, or five hundred and ten million tons. Nations have detonated the equivalent of twenty-nine thousand Hiroshima size weapons in the earths atmosphere, a figure that does not account for surface-level, underground, and underwater testing.
II. Accidents at military reactors and civilian nuclear power facilities have leaked cancerous and mutagenic isotopes into the environment and nuclear accidents such as the Chernobyl Nuclear Incident and Three Mile Island Nuclear Incident have spread radiation across Europe and North America of extremely dangerous levels.
III. The production of nuclear weapons has polluted vast amounts of soil and water at hundreds of nuclear weapons facilities all over the world. Currently there is no solution to the problem of radioactive waste, there are no technologies that can clean up radiation, which is why the entire nuclear project must be stopped.
IV. Nuclear Physicist Andrei Sakharov forecast that the explosion of a one-megaton hydrogen bomb -- equivalent in destructive power to 1 million tons of Trinitrotoluene (dynamite, also referred to as TNT) -- would cost more than 6,000 lives. Many more lives would be lost over many generations as well.
V. The resulting redundancy of a nuclear weapons execution would expose millions of people to adverse toxic fallout in return for extremely little to no military, scientific, or diplomatic gain.
VI. On March 1, 1954, at 06:45 GMT, the United States of America detonated a dry fuel hydrogen bomb in the Marshall Islands. Originally intended to be confidential, yielded fifteen megatons of Trinitrotoluene dynamite. The blast traveled at 220 mph, reaching 62 miles in less than 10 minutes, and as a result, the cloud contaminated more than seven thousand square miles of the surrounding Pacific Ocean including the surrounding small islands. In terms of TNT tonnage equivalence, Castle Bravo was about 1,000 times more powerful than each of the atomic bombs which were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II. Castle Bravo is the fifth largest nuclear explosion in history
VII. Tsar Bomba (Russian: "Tsar-bomb") was a hydrogen bomb, the most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated. Its test on October 30, 1961, remains the most powerful man-made explosion in human history. Developed by the Soviet Union, the bomb had a yield of fifty megaton TNT explosions. This is equivalent to about one thousand five hundred seventy times the combined energy of the bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The explosive was originally capable of one hundred megatons, although the aircraft delivering the explosive would not have had enough time to escape the explosion. The twenty seven metric ton bombs explosion was visible over six hundred and twenty miles away. The Tsar Bomba remains single most physically powerful device ever used by mankind.
ARTICLE IV PRINCIPLE OF ESTABLISHMENT
I. Each State Party shall, take any necessary measures to implement its obligations under this proposition.
Hereby implements Comprehensive Nuclear Weapons Assessment Ban as mandate.
