United Downs - An Arda-Wide Forum for Change
I participate in the Model United Nations association at my school and one day during a long and boring discussion of UN debt I decided to amuse myself by inventing the United Downs. The United Downs is an Arda-wide forum for change where people of all races and species can congregate to discuss issues affecting their world. This community meets regularly in the Barrow-Downs (hence the name--United Downs) and delegates can offer resolutions to solve perceived problems in their areas.
The examples I have provided below didn't take very long to write following the Model United Nations resolution format so if anyone else would care to draft up something I would love it. TheGreatElvenWarrior is in the same class so she may submit something as well; I am certainly planning on making a few more! Without further ado here are a few examples from the delegates of The Democratic People's Republic of Mordor and the Fangorn Co-operative*: And . . . *I apologise for any spelling and grammar mistakes, I tried to correct them but Photobucket mixed everything up. Oh well. |

Quite impressive, Laurinquë. Fortunately, Middle-earth did not have a United Nations, or else Mordor would have veto power as one of the permanent members of the Security Council. Mordor would have also demanded that the One Ring be returned as a priceless cultural artifact of the Mordorion people.

Laurinquë... I had to participate in a similar UN model on the last grade of our lower secondary, so when I was 15, so that brings back some memories... maybe I should do one just to remember the jolly (er...?) good times...

Awesome idea! I do Model UN with my school, too. I'll do one as soon as I get a chance!

I did have a lovely idea, but I can't figure out how to make it an image. Help?

A Joke That Some Will Get
As chairman of The Peoples Bitching Party of Angmar (and self appointed king) I must object to the generalisations made about despots!
We really can be rather nice and enjoy a good conversation. |
