Due to my absolute disgust at the recent proposals that have been passed, and I am therefore forced to enforce, I am considering resigning from the UN. But I want to know all of your opinions on this before I do it (if I do it). It should be known that if I resign, I will resign from my duties, such as ambassador to NationStates and Asst. Minister of Education. In fact, I think I may create my own region, and leave here. But this is all only if i resign from the UN. What do you all think?

Bah! What is all this crazyness about leaving the UN? I saw screw em and impose harsher laws saying like, "Ban meat". Heck I banned euthenasia when I got that issue . Just spit on the UN symbol (symbolically) and move on.

We have to have UN nations to defend the region. The connection is needed as a pre-requisite of the game. It is an inherent evil, like so many others in the real world.
The really bad part of your dropping out is that if we all do that who think that the UN majority is perverse, then only perverse nations will have the power to defend our region.
Please, PLEASE, hold the line (and hold your nose if you have to) and stay with the UN so you can help run 10000 Islands right.
(BTW, we are outlawing the consumer end of the transaction which the UN just allowed. We are running a contest now in Fleeb for most creative penalties that do not include actual removal of body parts.)
Hang in there.

As an ally state and friend, I will support your nation's decision. Keep in mind, if you do leave the UN, you will still be able to retain membership in the UDA, Mr. Deputy Leader.
I certainly hope you stay in the UN and an active part of the 10000 Islands. Leaving the UN will only make matters worse for all the other poor nations in it. Your staying in it gives an extra vote to common sense.
Thanks to the overwhelming response by many of my friends, I will be staying in the UN. I will of course probably be offended by proposals in the future, but, I guess we just have to live with it. Heck, my science teacher offends me with how stupid he is, but I just have to live with that.

I agree with all nations above. Not only is it fun to have you here, you are also needed. You're now doing a lot in and for 10000 Islands and so far so good, right? Of course, if you really are against a lot of the proposals, you should stand by your morals, but I don't think leaving is then the answer. By staying in the UN, you can change more than stepping out of it.
Worship the potato? The idea seemed silly to me. But then I thought, what else is more deserving of worship? It's simple, it comes from the earth, and it can kill you if you disobey it.

all of us in the United Nations have to accept the good with the bad and that is part of the game of Nation States.
My nation enacts all laws passed by the United Nations as we don't feel you can pick and choose which ones you support.
However we do believe there are boundaries which if crossed would mean the withdrawal of our nation from the United Nations. These would be along the lines of the UN passing a racist, homophobic or sexist motion which we believe would not be possible under the rules of the game.
We ay to you Boktavia stay in and try to ensure motions you agree with are passed.

Remember brother that there are always ways around UN legislation that are completely legal.
Then there are ways around the UN that arent perfectly legal. Muhahahahahahaha!!! Like: 1. Be in the UN, but dont listen to them. 2. Bribe them. 3. Pay a smaller nation(that follows the UN rules) to say your country merged with it. When really you havent. These are much better than: 1. Quiting.
But there is an old saying.... "Quiters never win, Winners never quit. But if you never win or quit, your an idiot!" Or you could just do the legal loopholes, which are much safer.
