1. Economy

2. Internationalisation of law roadblocked

1.1. Deadlock of monetary policy in the Lower House

Chairs of the Houses envision a deadlock in regards to this weeks agenda regarding monetary reform and restructuring. “The Government majority of the Lower House” proposed a Bill concerning the setting of exchange rate parity, “but it likely won’t pass, as the Lower House Opposition (Opportunity Party, UML, ADLA and NNP) hold enough seats to object the bill”.
Likewise, the Chair of the Upper House (in which the Government MPs hold marginally more than the needed 1/3 majority) say that a similar situation is expected to happen. “To an even greater extent, given that the Opposition parties hold a near-supermajority in the Upper House”.

Namely, the Liquidity (or cash flow) crisis necessesates a monetary restructuring. The Nasphiliti Pacifian Sterling Pound was hard pegged to the Empires Pound Sterling until the reign of of “Queen” Dorothy Atkinsons (1852-1901), or during the peak of the Silver standard. With the decline of the Empire, the Nasphiliti Pacifican Sterling Pound pursued the exchange rate it initially had in 1851. It has been active to this day, which over time created absolute confusion regarding the exchange rate parity which the domestic currency has to the Pacifican Dollar.

1.2. Government proposes inflantory devalue

The Government Bill, coming from the Executive Officers for Finances, Customs & Logistics (Evelyn Mies from the SRP party) and Economy (Madison Carson of the SRP party), envisions depreciation of the domestic currency through pressuring the Royal Mint into devaluation.
This endangers Nasphilitae of being subject to anti-dumping measures from other countries, says Oppositions Head of Committee of Monetary Affairs (Eda Nifterick of the Opportunity Party). Once trade barriers are lifted, this would give Nasphiliti products absolute advantage on foreign markets.

1.3. Opposition suggests defaulting & hard pegging

The HM Shadow Government, during todays talks concerning the proposed Bill (after strucking it down with the aforementioned argument), suggests defaulting the currency. The Bill will likely be presented in the ordinary Sitting of the Upper House expected this Thursday. Its substantive contents suggest a procedure of “defaulting the domestic currency, upon which it would be hard-pegged 1:1 to the Pacifican Dollar”.
This option was quickly shut down by The Plenary Committees Commission & Working Group for litigation, procuration and rumuneration. Reason given is that “it’s unfeasable, due to lack of Nasphilitaes membership to the World Forum, as such no reason exists as to why this would be considered legitimate”.

1.4. The Plenary Committee begins drafting a Mediating Bill

The Representative of The Plenary Committee (Claire Renske, MP of the Praxis-Unionist UML) said that the Commission & Working Group for litigation, procuration and rumuneration will begin working on a compromising draft Bill on Thursday. This is conditional on no compromise reached by then (the ordinary Sitting of the Upper House).
They envision that “Nasphilitae can afford creating cash flow through public debt”, given the high production factors & forces, as analysed in the Cohens papers.

2.1. Formalist roadblock in Resolution 7

Internationalisation, which is nearly complete (according to the Supreme Court) is roadblocked by “the formal language of WF Resolution 7”. Namely, the following is needed for internationalisation (domestic application of international law and customs).

Section B - Mandate
  1. To train and prepare all relevant services effectively and under the recommendations set forth by the ESCA.
  2. To collect numerous data regarding the performance of emergency services among member states and process it for recommendations on increasing efficiency and response capability.
  3. To inform the World Forum on an annual basis the status of all member states’ emergency services.

While this can be interprated at “members of ESCA”, the Resolution explicitly mentions:

Section C - Power

The ESCA shall have the power of the World Forum to carry out and enforce its mandate on all member states, and will enlist the assistance of its parent organisation as required.

“mandate on all member states” is further ambivalised by the following:

Section E - Membership

Membership in the ESCA is offered to all member states of the World Forum unconditionally, and to all external states under the conditions as set forth by the Directorate.

However, the Supreme Court says that “The envisioned observer status merely creates formalist confusion in application of this Resolution.”

2.2. Roadblock in “ambivalence” of Resolution 8

A greater issue is posed by WF Resolution 8.

Section C - Organisation

  1. IACO consists of voluntary member nations.

  2. IACO is headed by a director-general who is elected by a simple majority vote in the Committee for International Law. The term length of a director-general shall be 12 months.

  3. An IACO Investigation Team’s duty is to conduct investigations on a matter decided by the Assembly or by the request of the issuing nation.

  4. An IACO Response Team’s duty is to help national forces enforce World Arrest Warrants.

Section D - Definitions

  1. A World Arrest Warrant (WAW) is issued by an international arrest warrant issued by a member nation requesting international assistance for an arrest.

  2. An Investigation Request (IR) is issued by a member nation requesting international assistance for an investigation.

  3. An Investigation Order (IO) is issued by the Assembly launching an investigation.

Section E - Authorities

  1. The IACO has the international authority to conduct investigations when instruced by the Assembly or requested by nations and help nations pursue WAWs when requested by the incoming nation.

  2. All investigation relted materials gathered by the national investigation force must be handed to the IACO investigation Team immediately after the launch of an IACO investigation and when requested by the investigation Team

Two issues arise from the IACO in the process of internationalisation:

  1. Once again, ambivalence on “voluntary member nations”; As to whether it includes Observers.

2. Extradition envisioned of WAW to the International Court which would nullify the entire internationalisation process of Nasphiliti law.

2.3. Head of HM Cabinet for Foreign Affairs assures public of circumvention possibilities

The Head of HM Cabinet for Foreign Affairs, Earl Quinlan Emmerson, had assured both the public and the Judiciary that “these incompatibilities do not pose more than a formal issue”. Elaborating, he responded with the following points:

  1. Resolution 7 is substantively not crucial due to the competence of domestic security forces. However, I am sure that the Observer status permits the ESCA from inspecting the readiness of those forces.
  2. The internationalisation of international law & customs into domestic law includes that Private Acts (those regulating the prosecution of domestic physical and private entities) recognise the breaking of international law & customs.
  3. Issues relating to the WAW and extradition of foreign residence in Nasphilitae to the International Court is not envisioned to be covered by the internationalisation process.
  4. Issues relating to an observer state extraditing foreign WAR criminals is a non-issue.

He further elaborated these statements by saying that “The entire internationalisation process serves two substantive purposes. First is sovereignty over jus soli of its citizens, related to sovereignty of Nasphilitae to prosecute its own criminals. Second is cotnributing to international stability, which I am sure an Observer state can contribute to.” (paraphrasing)

2.3.1. Preliminary statement of the HMCFA

Notably, the HMCFA has made a binding public preliminary statement (which is to be processed into a Royal Act):

"THE Grand Duchy of Nasphilitae, through exercise of its sovereignty in external matters via the HM Cabinet for Foreign Affairs, incorporates all international law and customs into domestic law.

  1. As such, it abides to non-obligatory and mandatory provisions as set by the World Forum and other international customs.
  2. Henceforth, will prosecute physical entities with the status of its citizens and private entities with the status of registry within its territories, in accordance to domesticatd international law.
  3. Such prosecutions may be attended by institutions of the World Forum in assessment that the correct procedure is conducted.
  4. Until further necessary changes are processed into domestic law, including formalisation of relations to international organisations and bilateral relations, as to avoid conflict of laws in situations where foreign physical citizens or foreign private entities are envisioned to be prosecuted by the International Court of Justice; Border control of the Grand Duchy of Nasphilitae will be heightened and its policy of open border for refuge (exercised by the right to soil) is temporarily suspended.
  5. To ensure proper conduct of this policy, condemnation and exercise of it through sanctions, by physical, private or state entities is automatically enforced, without the need for legal codification nor statements on the matters.
Head of HM Cabinet for Foreign Affairs, Earl Quinlan Emmerson. Signed: High Duke and Head of State of Nasphilitae, Dawson Ernst.
