Commend Hobbesistan
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.


Category: Commendation | Nominee: Hobbesistan | Proposed by: Abacathea

Description: The Security Council;

Reminding the assembled members of this esteemed council of the purpose of a commendation resolution, namely "to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.";

Futher reminding this council, that it is our collective purposes as assembled members to recognize nations based on their contributions to our respective environments regardless of their alignments and creeds ie: raiderism, defenderism and so forth;

Believing the nation of The Mr Hobbes of Hobbesistan despite their relatively short existence, has made considerable contributions to the NationStates universe, spanning culture, governance and military aspects of the universe;

Highlighting the military organizations led by Hobbesistan, which, through their leadership, have seen a tremendous boost in activity, the modernization of tactics and strategies, and the creation of new technology, the military organizations that Hobbesistan has lead are: the Eastern Pacific Sovereign Army (EPSA) and the Lazarene Liberation Army (LLA);

Applauding the numerous defensive operations that Hobbesistan has either participated in or lead, including: Union Soviet Socialist Republic, Darwin Allied Republics, RORMS and Christmas ? a region that is currently under the protection of this council;

Further Applauding Hobbesistan's role in stopping the purge of Khora ? a region that once boasted over 100 nations ? and aware that through this act, the region of Khora was saved;

Acknowledging Hobbesistan's contributions to The East Pacific, where they have been a tireless member for several months, contributing to the region's legislature as a Magister, interpreting laws as an Arbiter, and improving the region's forum as an Administrator;

Applauding Hobbesistan's contributions to Lazarus, where they contributed to the revitalization of that region through their creation of Lazarus' forums, the revitalization and creation of the LLA, and assisting in the creation of the region's guiding documents;

Further Noting Hobbesistan's creation of both RadioNS and the Lazarene Stock Exchange, both of which providing a unique, enjoyable and unifying experience to nations and are arguably two significant and sizeable feats not likely to be repeated with ease, both of which have been done with the sole intention of furthering the experiences of nations across Lazarus and the NationStates universe as a whole;

Lastly highlighting the ?approx? script, which was developed by the nation of Hobbesistan to aid military operations across the NationStates universe, and distributed widely and freely, further serving to enhance the experience of nations;

Believing, without a doubt, that the multitude of contributions made by The Mr Hobbes of Hobbesistan to culture both on a regional and international scale, military ops, the respective governments to which they serve and ultimately, to the regions and nations which have the pleasure of encountering this nation are worthy of being given as much consideration in the annals of this esteemed council as any other member currently enshrined within;

Nominee (region): Land of the Liberals
Proposed by: Unibotian WA Mission

Description: The Security Council,

Noting that Land of the Liberals continues to be oppressed under the regime of New Earth, and its iron fist delegate, Spooks I;

Defines...
(1) "Native" as a nation which takes up residence in a region without the intention of furthering the goals and aims of a foreign force;
(2) "Regional Sovereignty" as the collective right of natives to the administration of their region;
(3) "Regional Destruction" as the ejection of all of the natives of a region by a delegate whose actions are not supported by said natives;

Understanding that the World Assembly has the ability to limit the administrative parameters of a delegate;

Believing that delegates who are not natives of their region generally are poor representatives and participants of the World Assembly, depending on the goals and aims of the foreign force which they are furthering;

Further Believing that the World Assembly has entrusted the Security Council with the solemn task of enabling regional sovereignty while regulating such unruly delegates;

Recognizing that the delegate of Land of the Liberals is primarily interested in furthering the empire of New Earth, and is not concerned with the well-being or representing the values of those residing in Land of the Liberals who do not share his foreign interests;

For he has,

? Banned nations such as Maressia for having a democratic socialist government (with no respect for the nature or the spirit of the region in which he is delegate);
? Threatened natives with the decision either to surrender to the authority of New Earth or receive ejection and banishment;
? Implemented a password which is hidden to residents, for the purposes of refounding and gaining even more control through the destruction of the region;

Disgusted that the delegate of Land of the Liberals previously attempted to undermine the World Assembly by temporarily acting above suspicion of all nefarious intentions;

Aware of at least one native, Moralesia, which has declared their disapproval of their region's new administration and their wish for a liberation effort;

Noting that, with native support, defending and other third-party organizations will likely be more inclined to assist with further peacekeeping efforts in Land of the Liberals than before, thus furthering the protection of regional sovereignty and the dissemination of inter-regional peace and goodwill;

Hereby Revokes the ability of this victimized region?s delegate to password protect the region.

SURPRISED that Land of the Liberals was invaded by New earth with help from the notorious Nazi europe on December 23, 2009;

NOTING that New Earth now claims the region to be their colony;

DEFINING...
(a)"Preventive Liberation" as the action of liberating a presently non-password protected region to prevent the use of the password in the future (e.g. as seen in SC#9);

FEARING that New Earth will refound the region;

FURTHER FEARING that they would disgrace the Land of the Liberals' very name by residing with undemocratic policies;

AWARE that it may be only a matter of days before all the natives are ejected and the invaders password the region;

RECALLING that New Earth has already banned two native nations The Sleepy Backwater of Anbrig and The Republic of Galactic Intrigue at the creation of this resolution;

CERTAIN that if the region is liberated by the Security Council it would be unlikely that the invaders could refound the region, atleast not without a fair amount of difficulty;

WISHING the natives of Land of the Liberals to live free from the threat of refounding and future raids;

HEREBY:

PREVENTIVELY LIBERATES the Land of the Liberals to protect the region from the implementation of a password.

Nominee (region): Utopia
Proposed by: Unibotian WASC Mission

Description: The Security Council,

Deeply Disturbed by the actions of The Alliance of Dictators, an invading organization, which captured the delegacy of Utopia by surprise on 2 December 2009,

Recalling that Utopia is a historic region, which has greatly contributed to the world?s security with its involvement in the Allied Liberation League (a defending organization),

Defining ?
(a) ?Password Grieving? as an invading technique, where an invader-in-disguise hides in a region long enough to accumulate a high level of regional influence, and then becomes delegate in the founderless region to immediately establish an invisible password, and begin emptying the region of those not affiliated with their invader organization,
(b) ?Invisible Password? as a delegate-instituted password which is required to enter a region, if the password is hidden to any resident besides the regional delegate or founder,

Gravely Concerned that password grieving has spread as a common tactic used by invaders to defeat the timely stalemate between invaders and those who seek security, stability and peace in our world,

Having Ascertained that The Alliance of Dictators, and their delegate in Utopia, Lustrous Lemurs, have relied on password grieving to secure the delegacy of Utopia,

Cognizant of Acacallis and Ocean Pride, two residents of Utopia (at the time of this resolution?s creation), who the invader delegate has not yet been successful in ejecting and banning,

Bearing in Mind that these honorable residents have publicized their wishes for Utopia to be liberated,

Concurring with the residents of Utopia that the continued suppression of the region by The Alliance of Dictators could only have awful consequences for Utopia,

Convinced that ignoring them in their time of need would be being ungrateful to Utopia for its years of service to international peace and security,

Hereby:

1. Liberates Utopia, by removing the invisible password and barring the delegate from attempting to implement a password in the future.
