  • This House, as Indonesia, would significantly limit the migration of foreign residents who intend to earn income from remote work during their stay.

    Infoslide

    In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, Indonesia faced a surge of incoming foreigners who sought residence in the country, while also working remotely for companies that are based in different countries. Moreover, many of these foreigners do not require work visa to get in because of Indonesia's relatively lax visa policies for tourists from other countries. For instance, there are 169 countries whose passport holders do not require a visa to get into any territory of Indonesia.

  • This house believes that the aliens should allow the S.S. NASPAR to dock

    Infoslide

    In the distant future, the Earth has become significantly less livable. Thousands of humans from a diverse array of economic, national, and ethnic backgrounds have boarded an advanced spaceship called the S.S. NASPAR headed toward an alien planet very similar to our own that can support human life. While there are some other planets nearby that might also be suitable, the humans would likely be subject to significant hardship on them. The S.S. NASPAR has enough fuel to return to earth if they cannot land on the alien planet, and require the aliens' assistance in order to do so. Once the S.S. NASPAR lands, it cannot be used again.
