Alright WAV, who will reform the UN and enforce it's new regulations?
Or in other words, who will make the nations with veto power and multiple votes give them up? Why will the 192 nations, made up of various rivals and bitter enemies, suddenly choose to work together in harmony?
Who will see to it that things like 14 of the former SSRs won't gang up together and push through resolutions that are damaging for the 15th and largest? Just one example of many various problems. Who will control and oversee the UN's efforts? How will resolutions be enforced? If you give control to the UN chairman, guess what, you've succeeded in creating the first GLOBAL DICTATOR.
I'm not quite sure that you can have both a strong and a democratic UN. In something like that, it looks like either one or the other.

Which facilities are you going to nationalise?

What sort of wage restrictions and why?
As for restricting non-locals, have you considered what that might mean? One thought that springs to mind is that you will be tieying sportsmen down to their hometowns. Will they not be allowed to move for work, or will they have to reside for ex-amount of time in a certain place, in which case how will they be able to work for those five years (or however many you decide)?

Standardising English. What excatly do you mean. Are you going to ban all books and documents written in non-standard English (aacording to you)? Are you going to penalise anyone caught using non-standard English? Who is going to pay to have all the changes made, who is going to decide what standard and who is going to enforce it on all English speakers the world over?

Have you considered any of the HUMAN impact your proposed regulations will have on people?

Amos, brilliant indeed, and shows that WAV doesn't do any research.
