Here are some ideas on the 'Planetary Governor' screen options

I don't like the waiting part. Take Gengis Kahn (or however you spell his name). Did it take him a world charter to allow him to raze and pillage all the cities he passed through?

Better would be 'implement world peace charter' This would not allow atrocities committed with modern weapons.

How about a test ban treaty. Cuts off ***all*** tests on nuclear technology. Signers would have a 50% (?) chance of being caught if they were building missles in a city. Only applies for volentary signers, though.

Who can forget our ABM treaty? This would start repealed, but I expect the first SDI builder would quickly find himslef/herself in some problems. Stop SDI defenses, and make the world go insane with nuclear war.

1. Terms of Initiation: Planetary Governor only begins when the advance for United Nations is discovered. When the advance is discovered then the UN Head/ Planetary Governor can be elected. [Dark Cloud]

2. Powers.
A. Instate U.N. Charter (No Nukes detonated, No Biochemical Weapons produced
) [Dark Cloud]
a. If it is discovered your civilization is producing Biochemical Weapons, by a spy with the new spy option 'Search Secret Classified Files' then war is declared upon you by every nation that has the 'Civilized' button pushed, you know the Americans, Babylonians, Aztec etc. It is an option for all civs. The Mongols don't have it and neither do the Sioux, I believe.

B. Repeal U.N. Charter (Allows Nukes and Biochemical Weapons)
[Dark Cloud]

C.World Trade Commission (Trade +1 All squares)
[Dark Cloud]

*D.Free Immigration (+1 Population in the cities of the country with the lowest Army Service and the country with the highest Gross Domestic Product. -1 Population in the cities of any other civ's cities unless the city is size "1-4" then noone emigrates from the nation.[Dark Cloud and Mo]

E.Disallow Missile Defense Systems (No SDI'S)
(If you build it everyone knows 1st turn 25% chance to know. 2nd turn-27% chance and so on. If you build it means war.)

F.Allow Missile Defense Systems
[Phunny Pharmer]

G. Outlaw Cloning
When Cloning is discovered your population would receive a bost, this would disallow any boost in anyones population (Consequences would be similar to the Missile Defense System's)

H.Unite Behind Me as Supreme Leader
[Dark Cloud] [Vitmore the Great]
-it is an optional victory option, you can continue to play until you have conquered everyone if you so wish.

I.Outlaw Underage Soldiers
- All Civs lose 1/10th of their armies but their is one extra Happy person at each base.
[Phunny Pharmer]

J.Money Lending
- The U.N. Treasury collects 'dues' of 1% of each empires annual income. If your empire does not choose to pay these by clicking a special button, or is not able to (it is broke) then it loses it's vote.
[Doomer and Dark Cloud]
- You can be 'lent' money by the U.N. from the treasury and must pay it back in a specified number of turns, failture to do so will lose you your vote and if you are Planetary Governor/ UN head you will be voted out of office.
[Doomer]

K.Unit Lending
-How about when you are Secretary-General of the UN, other Civs would be able transfer some of their units to your control to undertake international military or peacekeeping operations ( a la US in Persian Gulf).
[Vitmore the Great]

3.Offices of the UN
AND POWERS

A. You will be UN Head/Governor for at least 10 years, until the next election unless you are voted out of office. (It can only be proposed once every 10 years and even then only if the problem is large and clear- Everyone is notified of the situation in a pop-up box.
[Dark Cloud]

B.Offices
- These offices are based on Machivelli The Prince which was a great computer trading game from Microprose in 1994.
-UN Head - Controls UN actions and can propose measures. He also can sanction countries etc.
-Treasurer - Controls UN Money. If embezzled he is impeached.
-UN VP- If UN head is impeached the VP takes office. The VP can accuse one member of the UN of corruption every five years. That member, if acquitted, loses his vote. That member also experiences animosity towards the VP.
[Dark Cloud]

C.Infiltration and Stealing
- A spy unit can attempt to steal money from the UN treasury by entering the capital city of the UN treasurer, however if he is caught the offending country loses its vote and is sanctioned against. (Loses all trade for x number of terms)
[Dark Cloud and Cristantine]

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE IN THIS POST IT LISTS ALL IDEAS!

And, if you want a few more, "modern" proposals:

1) outlaw cloning
2) outlaw nuke testing in outer space
3) outlaw underage soldiers
4) act as international mediator between two civs with nuclear weapons

-Hey if you 'BUMP' it's not spam.
-I calculated the averages and only about 1/4 came through bumps.

Is there a benefit to being the first nation to discover the UN advance? Maybe not having to pay dues or some other benefit
