The European Union’s fiscal rules, known as the Stability and Growth Pact, require member states to limit their annual government deficit to 3% of GDP and public debt to 60% of GDP. A growth-first policy prioritizes economic expansion and employment, even if it requires sustained public spending and debt accumulation. It often entails deficit-financed investment in infrastructure with the assumption that growth will stabilize debt ratios over time.

The International Seabed Authority (ISA) is an intergovernmental body established under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) to regulate mineral-related activities in the international seabed area beyond national jurisdictions. It is partially funded by mining revenue. The international seabed area contains valuable minerals such as cobalt, nickel, and rare earth metals essential for renewable energy technologies. Current mining activity largely prevented by lack of regulatory structure, making mining de facto illegal in many places. The ISA is negotiating a Mining Code to set environmental safeguards, revenue-sharing mechanisms, and rules for partnerships between states and mining companies. The United States has not ratified UNCLOS and is not a party to the ISA. 

The International Seabed Authority (ISA)'s rules for deep-sea mining include provisions for the equitable sharing of benefits, with a focus on developing countries, including Small Island Developing States (SIDS). However, the core exploitation regulations, which would outline the specific partnering and benefit-sharing mechanisms, have not yet been finalized, despite the ISA's mandate and the expiration of a two-year deadline in 2023 to finalize them.

"Magic: the Gathering is a popular competitive trading card game created in 1993, with around 50 million players worldwide. Players build decks of cards to compete against one another in a variety of different formats. Some formats rotate, only allowing the use of cards from the last few years. New cards are released as part of themed sets that are usually self-contained stories in their own worlds, with new sets of ~300 cards being released 4-5 times a year.

The theming of Magic: the Gathering is reminiscent of classic high fantasy media such as Dungeons & Dragons or Lord of the Rings, with the players representing powerful wizards who can travel across the different worlds sets are contained on. Sets rarely deviated from this theme, with those taking place in cyberpunk or steampunk settings being few and far between.

Universes Beyond was announced in 2024 as a way to bring new players into Magic: the Gathering by having 1-2 sets per year based on third-party IPs. So far, full sets based on Final Fantasy, Spiderman, and Avatar: the Last Airbender have been announced, with cards from these sets being fully legal in all formats of play."

Common-Good Constitutionalism (CGC) and Liberal Constitutionalism represent contrasting approaches to understanding the purpose and interpretation of law. CGC, rooted in classical natural law, emphasizes the role of law in promoting the flourishing of a well-ordered political community and achieving the "common good." In contrast, Liberal Constitutionalism prioritizes individual rights and liberties, limiting government power through a structured constitution and promoting democracy, rule of law, and human rights.
