Gameplay Impacts

This resolution had no significant impacts on changing the way NationStates is played. However, like several previous resolutions, a poll asking nations if they voted yes, no, or abstained was attached to the official resolution debate. With XXX responses by the time debate had closed it is possible to compare the results of the UN forum poll to the official vote totals to address the question: "How representative is the UN forum of UN votes?"

Nations participating in the UN forum debates were asked to disclose their vote: yes, no, or abstain as part of an official survey. The raw UN forum poll results of this survey are presented above. On the UN forum, XX nations voted for the resolution, XX against, and 15 nations abstained. The abstentions are not included in calculating the percentage of votes.

The final overall UN ("official") vote was XX% of the votes cast being in favour, while the UN forum vote was XX% of the votes cast (for or against) being in favour. In this particular case it appears that the UN forum debate and poll were poorly representative (within 10%) of the entire UN vote.
