Notable for his support of sovereignty and radical laissez-faire capitalism, as well as his intention to bring the world closer to a system promoting both of these things by using the means provided by the United Nations. TGM has one successful UN Resolution, Due Process [1], which passed on Aug 13 2003 (though repealed on Dec 9 2006).
The Global Market is unique in NationStates history for having three consecutive failed UN resolutions in the space of less than three weeks:
- The Cato Acts Sep 25 2003
- The Bill of No Rights Sep 30 2003
- The GenetiCorp Convention Oct 11 2003
TGM also maintained and managed a set of offsite forums that were a storehouse of legal definitions, constitutional definitions, and by-laws apparently designed to limit the role of the government of the associated region. His proponents lauded him for bringing a fastidious sense of detail and a sense of real-world history to the United Nations, where it was not always appreciated. His opponents, on the other hand, would argue that his unswerving devotion to neoliberal economics rendered him unwilling and possibly unable to compromise, a grave failing on the diplomatic stage.
