Onsite Topic

The Security Council,

Noting that The Eternity of August controls the founding nations of Ridgefield, Conch Kingdom, Lands End, Cape of Good Hope, and Narnia,

Impressed by the fact that it united these regions for some time under the banner of the Augustin Alliance,

Recalling that Ridgefield, under its control, at one point controlled nearly 200 nations at a time when the world was comprised of less than 60,000 nations,

Marvelling that to this day, the Alliance’s former member regions are active and well-structured, while still being diverse in their themes, as a result of August’s initial structuring, with such features as:

Ridgefield being a small village with mandatory World Assembly membership

Lands End being a Corporate state, wherein any WA member state may apply for shareholder status, and the shareholders elect the government

Conch Kingdom being a vacation town, wherein the Tourism Bureau aids new members in getting acquainted with the region, as well as being a constitutional monarchy

Cape of Good Hope, which takes a hands-off approach to imposing rules, but prides itself in its helpful and friendly community

Narnia, which permits one to join a royal faction (that of the Pevensies, the Telmarines, the Witch, or the Calormenes),

International Events such as AugustinVision, which seek to enhance the quality of international relations within the regions

Strong interregional communication within member regions of the former alliance

Acknowledging that the unity and community within these regions was, and continues to be, largely a result of the Alliance being a uniting factor in these regions,

Astounded by the work it has done for the betterment of the Alliance, including synthesis of regional government systems and distribution of Alliance-related news across the world,

Grateful for the work it has done in guiding hundreds of new nations to success by both its direct actions and its creation of guides about many aspects of the functions of the world,

Flabbergasted by the marvelous performance of the Alliance’s faction (led by August) in the recent Nuclear Apocalypse, wherein it ranked first in the world,

Moved by the aid it has provided other founders in region building,

Recognizing its foundation and maintenance of the Joint Task Force, a military organization that, during its time as leader:

Occupied, cleared, and locked Union of the Fascist Nations, which was, at the time of occupation, the largest fascist region.

Participated in the occupation of The Viertes Reich, a successor region to the Union of Fascist Nations

Participated in the defense and liberation of multiple regions

Aided in the destruction of the US military, a region that attacked the sovereign territory of the West Pacific

Applauding the encouragement of World Assembly participation among the residents of the Alliance by August, and the success of this program in:

Making Conch Kingdom 8th in the World for World Assembly Endorsements

Making Lands End 27th in the World for World Assembly Endorsements

Making Ridgefield entirely comprised of World Assembly nations

Hereby commends The Eternity of August.

Seems like a laundry list of generic and unimpressive factoids. I'm Against

Re-reading it on site with proper formatting (which I didn't do in the OP, note to self...), the justification makes a little more sense, so I'm not entirely against it. But, a lot of it is still fluff.

Present
 
Against.

I don't see what has been done that is worth being commended for that so many others haven't already done.
 
So maintaining what was the all-around strongest organization in the game by yourself, as well as being the founder of every single region in that organization, isn't commend worthy? Who else has done that?
 
Against. August in the past used to publicly insinuate that TNP systematically downvotes everybody else's dispatches, in order for our own dispatches to be at the top.

Also, "all-around strongest organization"? Since when?

As a multi-regional organization? Since they were created.
 
Against.

I have respect for August because he is a tremendous leader and a role model for regional founders all over NS, but SC writers have this wonderful ability to make the most trivial things sound absolutely incredible, regardless of their factual effect on NS.
 
The vote stands at 7-7 with less than a day left in the vote. I am inclined to maintain support this particular resolution, especially considering the removal of our vote will not change the outcome. I urge anyone who has not yet weighed in to do so, in order that we can have a clear mandate on how this vote should be cast.
 
Altmoras:
It is worth noting that the gameside vote is currently 376-44 FOR.
Part of that may be because Pallaith's vote stood at For for nearly the entire duration of the vote and the gameside voters may be influenced by the delegate's vote.
 
Voting on this resolution has ended.

Thanks to those nations who cast their votes. Your participation is a great help to the region.
