Amendments passed for this legislation:

[a] Initial passage of legislation authorising the elected government of Froshar to apply for membership of the World Assembly.
[b] Amended legislation to confirm Froshar's membership of the World Assembly and new status as a Southern World Assembly Initiative (SWAN) Knight.

[e] Amended legislation to confirm that the required confirmatory referenda for unilateral withdrawal action must be held domestically and require a majority voting in favor of such action. This was in response to a High Court ruling in the "Frosharians for Solitude vs The State" lawsuit that confirmed previous wording was ambiguous enough for an elected government to hold a referendum abroad with five people and then proceed regardless of the result. An emergency amendment was passed to resolve that legal loophole and reaffirm the original intent behind 1c and 2a.
