Opposed, this would play havoc with spacefaring nations that wish to actually control their internal spacelanes.

It's akin to making the UN responsible for highway administration across the globe.

I need more votes before I swing either way, the region is pretty divided.

Yeah the author sent a mass TG asking for votes. This was my reply.

This proposal is akin to asking the WA to regulate all highway traffic in all member states.
The Star Empire of Ainocra is more than capable of regulating our own interstellar space lanes without interference from this body.

Furthermore Our space travel is a cornerstone of our national security. The lives of our citizens literally depend on it.
We also feel that space travel is an inalienable right of every civilization, and that this foolish attempt at regulation will do nothing but stifle that.

We are opposed and we have encouraged our regional government to vote against this lunacy.

Since there's been no more posts on the subject (sadly), I'll be swinging my vote FOR due to the way the region is voting.

I'm meh about it, which is why I didn't say one way or the other. I will also go with the region and vote for.

World Space Administration was passed 6,727 votes to 6,443.

I can't help but feel partially responsible for this. And I just don't care.
