Noting the past destruction of natural disasters, and the damage it has done to the countries
around the world,

pay for the base it can share the next closest countries base;

d. The guidelines for determining a storm to be classified a s malicious are the
following;

countries will get 10% of the total destruction caused by the storm;

the IWSC will vote to determine what percent, if any, the countries
affected will get;
