After waiting for a response from Hack about which category to use for several days, I just decided to go along with his original suggestion, figuring that if he suggested it, there's no way I can possibly get nailed for it.
Here's the final submission draft:
Olympic Games Free Trade (Mild)THE NATIONSTATES UNITED NATIONS, in order to increase international well-being and athletic competition, shall hereby resolve in the creation of an Olympic Games.
The Olympic Games (hereinafter referred to as "Games") shall be held every two years, alternating between Summer and Winter Games in such a way as that two consecutive Games of the same season are four years apart. Each Summer and Winter Games shall comprise of events representative of those seasons. In each, the sports shall be officiated according to the rules laid down by their respective international organizations.
The Games shall be hosted each year in a location that has not previously held the Games within the past four years. The Games shall be open to athletes from any UN Member Nation.
The winning competitor(s) of each event shall be awarded with a Gold Medal, bearing a design representative of both the ideals of the Games and the heritage of the location in which the Games are hosted. The second place competitor(s) shall be awarded a Silver Medal of the same design, an the third place competitor(s) shall be awarded a Bronze Medal of the same design. Each medal design shall be unique to that Games.
These Games are to promote international well-being and sportsmanship. Before competing, athletes are to swear by this creed:
"The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph, but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered, but to have fought well."
Any athlete found cheating, either by violating the rules or by use of performance-enhancing substances, shall be disqualified and stripped of their earned medals and any set records. Any athlete found missing any required drug testing must take another, or be disqualified.
To oversee the organization of these Games, the NSUN shall mandate the creation of an International Olympic Committee, whose duties shall include, but may not be limited to:
- Choosing the host location
- Choosing the medal design
- Choosing events to be played
- Organizing registration and qualification procedures
- Ensuring the fair and proper administration of these events
- Ensuring that all athletes maintain their creed and adhere to the rules of the Games at all times
- Providing adequate competition facilities, housing, security, transportation, training facilities, and neccessary anemities for the athletes participating, as well as their coaches and staff.
These Games shall be funded as needed by willful donations by the host location and participating nations.[/quote]
