Commend Joe Bobs
Category: Commendation | Target: Joe Bobs
Proposed by: Apatosaurus | Onsite Topic


The Security Council,

Noting that Joe Bobs has been an exemplary contributor to various historically significant regions and to the noble cause of defending,

Recalling Joe Bobs' beginnings as a member of Q102, where it had already garnered praise for its admirable government policies, especially:

  1. Having one of the most exemplary historians in NationStates, whose works are best displayed through the incredibly well-detailed documentation of the Bobbian Civil War, even documenting foreign aid to the same level of detail,
  2. Running an extremely reliable News Agency that has recorded much of the history of Joe Bobs in astonishing levels of detail, from the attempted invasion by the neighbouring nation of Mweeha to a failed military coup d’etat attempt, and
  3. Showing dedication to utopian policies, notably through its universal healthcare, strong opposition to the death penalty, support of the environment and extensive protections of animal rights,
Delighted by Joe Bobs’ contributions to regional politics within Q102, especially through its work as an extremely effective Immigrations and Officials Minister; its diligence in recruitment helped build Q102 into one of the most active regions of its era and increased its size by over 18% in only 3 months; and its introduction of a formal alliance with Europa, which became such a close ally of Q102 that Q102's community later designated the alliance as one of most valued regional relationships at the time,

Acknowledging that Joe Bobs was a central figure in the creation of the Q102 Hall of Fame, allowing the best contributors to Q102 to be officially recognised, and founded the Q102 University, a place for national leaders learn about various subjects, then going on to teach various subjects there such as Philosophy, Literature and NationStates history,

Applauding Joe Bobs' extraordinary show of leadership and diligence when it founded the Anti-Racism Coalition (ARC) in 2006, which helped in the fight against the reprehnsible ideologies of Nazism and racism; Joe Bobs built the ARC into one of the largest historical inter-regional coalitions, with over 500 individual members and several noteworthy regions such as The New Meritocracy and Belgium, and then went on to serve as Chairman (leader) of the ARC,

Impressed by Joe Bobs' significant contributions to the Global Right Alliance (GRA), working tirelessly to build its community and helping start the innovative form of government known as the "rotatorship", where each week a ruler would be chosen to have absolute power, helping increase regional engagement in an entertaining way,

Hailing Joe Bobs' pivotal role in the creation of the GRA Economy program as President, which encouraged government participation by rewarding regional "cash" for participation, as well as Joe Bobs' reorganisation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs by dividing it into the Ministries of Culture and Activity, allowing for further focus on both departments,

Acclaiming that Joe Bobs played an important role in rebuilding the GRA Defence Forces from a relatively inactive state around 2010 through both recruitment and structural reforms, soon making it a dominant force in defending again,

Cognisant that following the GRA's relaunch in 2014 after years of inactivity, Joe Bobs helped rebuild regional infrastructure by creating legislation that defined judicial procedures, World Assembly Delegate elections, and Speaker succession, ensuring the region had integral procedures in place during its redevelopment,

Celebrating Joe Bobs’ work within the Founderless Regions Alliance (FRA), where it notably held a very successful term as Arch-Chancellor in 2014, during which it took action for the FRA to become further involved in the stabilizing of recently raided regions, and hosted the third iteration of FRAVision, a worldwide singing competition that was widely successful and helped promote the FRA,

Extolling Joe Bobs' compiling of the histories of various significant regions, most notably by authoring an in-depth documentation of the history of the GRA known as the "General History of the GRA", and creating a public library in the FRA of the history of multiple important regions such as United Kingdom while Arch-Chancellor; this helped ensure the public accessibilies of regional histories for years to come, and

Believing that while Joe Bobs' flag and national symbol, the penguin, being cute and fluffy is not necessarily enough for interregional recognition, Joe Bobs' achievements in various regions and to the defender cause serve as extraordinary examples of hard work and dedication, and are worthy of the honour,

Hereby Commends Joe Bobs.

Overview
This resolution seeks to commend Joe Bobs for their contributions to the Defender cause as well as their involvement with several regions significant to early NS history. Such acts that the resolution deems worthy of recognition by the Security Council include their significant role in the region Q102; where Joe Bobs served as a recruiter and helped establish an alliance with the region Europa among other contributions to the region. They also worked on establishing the Anti-Racism Coalition, an inter-regional organization dedicated to fighting ideologies such as Nazism. The resolution also recognizes Joe Bobs for their region-building efforts with the Global Right Alliance. Lastly, Joe Bobs is noted for serving as Arch-Chancellor of the Founderless Regions Alliance and improving its stature as an entity to aid recently raided regions.

Recommendation
While Joe Bobs may certainly be worthy of praise, we do not believe that the resolution makes a sound case for their commendability. More broadly, we do not believe that any proposal concerning Joe Bobs can make up for this shortcoming. Actions such as dividing GRA's Ministry of Internal Affairs into the Ministries of Culture and Activity and performing effective recruitment practices with Q102 are, while potentially worthy of praise in general, simply unable to compete with the recognized achievements of other Commendees. Even when considering Joe Bobs' work establishing the ARC, the resolution fails to make a case for the organization being groundbreaking beyond its member count. We are also concerned by the author's conduct in their pursuit of passing this resolution, with behavior such as forcing discussion on it despite being repeatedly advised not to and other obsessive, in some cases subversive conduct.

For the above reasons, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote Against the Security Council Resolution at vote, "Commend Joe Bobs".
