The terms of the agreement ensure the free movement of goods and prohibit workers from putting in more than 85 hours of work per week, with an exception for lawyers, and provides for a minimum wage equivalent to US $5.00. The trade agreement was signed and ratified by all the parties. Prior to the agreement, all of the signatory states, along with the majority of other non- signatory states had minimum wage requirements substantially similar to those in the agreement. Nearby Lowagea has decided not to join the FTFWC. The United States and Urbania continue to trade with Lowagea, as it has a huge supply of Reallineed, manufactured by a state-owned company. Lowagea has never agreed that the minimum wage is a good thing and has never provided one. It was recently discovered that Reallineed can be used in cell phones as a radiation buffer; in order to encourage other countries to buy more Reallineed, Lowagea began having its Reallineed manufacturers work 100 hours a week for $.75 an hour in order to decrease its production costs. Although the Lowegean constitution proclaims the absolute Page 1 of 2 rights of the workers, it appears that workers who refuse to work for all of their assigned periods are being chained to their machines without food, water, or bathroom breaks until they ate finished. Last year, New York State passed a statute prohibiting any persons or companies subject to NY state jurisdiction from trading with Lowagea or any other country that trades with Lowagea. Urbania alleges that as a result of this statute, the United States is in breach of the FTFWC. Resourcia on the other hand also alleges that Lowagea is in violation of international law.
