Condemn The Royal Lagrangian

A resolution to express shock and dismay at a nation or region.


Category: Condemnation

Nominee: The Royal Lagrangian

Proposed by: Zexiunum

Description: Recognizing that the nation known as The Matriarchy of The Royal Lagrangian, though one of many nations, has committed crimes against liberty in a fashion typical of a tyrant.

Noting that there have been multiple schisms of one of their dominated regions United Nations Commonwealth has suffered many tragedies. In that Lagrangian's tenure as leader has led to a collapse of a region.

Shocked that The Royal Lagrangian through the actions of various puppet nations continues to harass those who fled from their rule. These regions include

•The now defunct "The United Nations Commonwealth" region

•United Nations Commonwealth

•The Congress of Sovereign Nations

•The United Region States

•Coalition of Free Governments

Appalled with The Royal Lagrangian's desire for control that they would go as far as to create a region to claim members from a region that separated in order to fully control it themselves. Then, when said region did not function as Lagrangian had pleased (the now defunct "New Congress of Sovereign Nations") the nation he created as founder had all member states forcibly removed and locked the region.

Further Noting that Lagrangian had sent puppets in order to harass regions and threaten their destruction. Even that Lagrangian had openly admitted to a coup within [ region]Coalition of Free Governments[/region] is nothing short of subversive warfare and actions typical of a dictator.

Disheartened that after a draft of this proposal was written in Coalition of Free Governments Regional Message Board, that The Royal Lagrangian had taken steps to cover up their actions.

Believing that these actions deem The Royal Lagrangian worthy of a condemnation with tyrannical actions committed through multiple regions on NationStates.

Undoubting that such actions, while an aspect of NationStates, should be discouraged. Further feeling that such actions are worthy of international scrutiny.

Hereby condemns The Matriarchy of The Royal Lagrangian

R4 - use of personal pronoun (underlined).

Edit: also the last clause, while not an exact copy of a clause used in another illegal proposal (Condemn Nugut by The Dark Creed, about 6 posts above this one) is very close.

Thank you for your help I will make the appropriate changes to the proposal.

Condemn Coalition Of Free Governments

A resolution to express shock and dismay at a nation or region.


Category: Condemnation

Nominee: Coalition Of Free Governments

Proposed by: The Royal Lagrangian

Description: Description: Recognizing that the Region known as Coalition Of Free Governments, has committed crimes against United Nations Commonwealth and others.
Noting that "United Nations Commonwealth" has suffered due to spamming from members of Coalition Of Free Governments

Shocked that Coalition Of Free Governments through the actions of various spamming attacks continues to harass those who fled from their old region. The regions they have spammed include
•United Nations Commonwealth
and are now trying to attack the RCAN region.

Appalled with Coalition Of Free Governments desire to destroy a stable region for control that they would go as far as to Condemnation the founder.

Believing that the Coalition Of Free Governments has made up lies just so they can distroy a region that has done nothing to them.

Hereby condemns: Coalition Of Free Governments

The spamming stuff is an R2 violation (I think). Sounds like something that should be handled via GHR.

Edit: Sorry missed the context originally. Although I'm not particularly familiar with the exact rule, this seems to be a case of "tit for tat".

Commend 1980s Europe

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


Category: Commendation

Nominee: 1980s Europe

Proposed by: Futa-Land

Description: NationStates is a fun political simulator, where the community has grown and developed the site, just as much as the people who actually change it have. We all have our reasons for condemning and commending Regions and Nations. But I present an idea that these Nations and Regions get commended and recognized for being a friendly, safe environment for people who don't really want the faster-paced style of Raiding and defending, or otherwise. I would like to start (Or Revitalize) this trend of giving thanks to those fantastic Nations and Regions by commending 1980s Europe. I hope this helps other Nations and Regions step up to the spotlight and get recognized for what they deserve.

Stating That: There aren't enough calm and laid back Regions in NationStates. As many seek power and control, or even like to strike fear into the hearts of other Regions and Nations. Not a lot of Nations or Regions on NationStates are recognized by their friendly behavior and laid back attitude, thus these good deeds go unnoticed.

Stating That: 1980s Europe deserves to be recognized as a calm and laid back Region, who avoids conflicts and respects other Nations and Regions. As well as develops a welcoming and fun environment for all new people, who also like to just hang out.

Realizing That: There are many other laid back regions, much like 1980s Europe, that get no recognition, and possibly should.

Stating That: More Regions and Nations deserve to have their good deeds recognized and commended, and a good start should be to commend 1980s Europe. As we believe in giving these beautiful Regions the rewards that they deserve.

Wishes That: More Regions and Nations similar to 1980s Europe get the commendation and recognition that they deserve.

Hereby Commends 1980s Europe.

Approvals: 1 (Futa-Land)

Status: Lacking Support (requires 91 more approvals)

Voting Ends: in 3 days

Not from the WA's POV, Refers to NationStates as being a game, multiple other R4 violations throughout. Also the "Wishing" clause is either doing more than commending (R3 violation) or is unnecessary, depending on how one interprets it.

Condemn New Nelsonburg

A resolution to express shock and dismay at a nation or region.


Category: Condemnation

Nominee: New Nelsonburg

Proposed by: Aricrad

Description: Recognizing that The Empire of New Nelsonburg has brought war and fear to Empire of the Trident

Noting that The Empire of New Nelsonburg currently has a coalition trying to throw the leaders of New Nelsonburg out of power.

Shocked that The Empire of New Nelsonburg currently threatens his enemies with a nuclear arsenal and WMDs, which is further breaking World Assembly Laws and Empire of the Trident's Laws.

Appalled by the fact that The Empire of New Nelsonburg started a blockade and war against people of Empire of the Trident because of trials that were put against the nation.

Futher Noting The Empire of New Nelsonburg used puppet nations to try to put itself into the World Assembly Delegate seat of the Empire of the Trident.

Horrified by the fact that The Empire of New Nelsonburg even cremated it's late Queen via Nuclear Bomb.

Believing this actions deem The Empire of New Nelsonburg suitable for condemnation for spreading fear and corruption across the Empire of the Trident

Condemn Midlothian High School

A resolution to express shock and dismay at a nation or region.

Category: Condemnation

Nominee: Midlothian High School

Proposed by: Like Minded Citizens

Description: The Democratic Republic of Midlothian High School was the founder of the region of Chesterfield but was ejected on accounts of using multiple accounts to scheme his way to absolute power. (Also joining the World Assembly with these accounts.)
He then reclaimed the region for himself and removed all of those in power, and then banned them. Now he has added a password to keep anyone from regaining power.
This has ruined the region, our game play, and the overall fun of the game for the region.

Condemn Presbyterians of Hofle

A resolution to express shock and dismay at a nation or region.


Category: Condemnation

Nominee: Presbyterians of Hofle

Proposed by: Coblentrekania

Description: The Security Council,

Noting the lack of respect for democracy held by the Alliance of CBHS's Executive Founder, The Armed Capitalist Democracy of Presbyterians of Hofle, despite his past promise to maintain fairness, equality, and democracy in the region,

Remembering the democratically-elected, Regional Officer, The Socialist Paradise of Tinustburia, who was ousted from his position as Internal Tribune by the Founder for no good reason other than partisan disagreement and disappointment that his closest ally, The Allied Cantons of Makeoscopy lost an election to said Internal Tribune,

Acknowledging the subsequent appointment of said ally, The Allied Cantons of Makeoscopy, to the position once held by The Socialist Paradise of Tinustburia without democratic election,

Realizing that once again this happened, as recently The Empire of United Soviet Socialist States of Canada was elected to a similar office, only to be deposed for partisan reasons,

Seeing that the Founder has promised no compromise and has committed to maintaining his tyrannical rule with no regards to the will of the masses, leaving the whole community in turmoil,

Recognizing the imminent threat of a revolution if nothing changes,

HEREBY CONDEMNS The Armed Capitalist Democracy of Presbyterians of Hofle for:

disregard for will of the populace,

lack of maintaining promise of democracy,

appointing ministers based on nepotism and favoritism,

hypocrisy and elitism.

ADMITTING that this Region, as an invader, is not breaking game rules, but must still be recognized an international pariah, to be reckoned be, to not be glorified, to be dishonored, to be Condemned.

CONCLUDING that this Condemnation is not a normal one, that this will help regions fight back against The Alliance of Dictators.

Hereby enacts World Assembly Security Council Condemnation: Condemn The Alliance of Dictators

Condemn Midlothian High School

A resolution to express shock and dismay at a nation or region.


Category: Condemnation

Nominee: Midlothian High School

Proposed by: EIS Empire of Intelligence and Sciences

Description: Fellow WA Delegates,

This is a request that you vote with me in condemning the nation of Midlothian High School. This Tyranny first created the region Chesterfield, and abused its power by ejecting all others in officer positions, and then locked down the region with a password. Everyone left for the sanctuary of the newly-created New Chesterfield to remove themselves of the Iron Fist of Midlothian High School.

Unfortunately, they did not leave us alone for long. He then invaded the region of New Chesterfield, harassing us even more. We were able to ban him from the Region, but he will never leave us alone.

This is why I ask for your vote in removing this tainted nation from the site. I thank you for listening.

EIS Empire of Intelligence and Sciences,
Fellow WA Delegate.

Oh boy... Not from WA perspective, R4b (mark), does more than a condemnation can do (mark), branding (mark).

Sounds like what one would put in a campaign telegram...

[Bhang Bhang Duc]

Branding isn't an illegality in the SC, however no operative clause is (R3).

Second attempt in three days and just as bad as the previous one.

[Kaboomlandia]

Branding isn't an illegality in the SC

Uh, yes it is. Proposals need to be from the perspective of WA due to R4d. Not specifically branding, but...

From the Compendium of Moderator Rulings

Branding:
Branding is allowed:

Ardchoille wrote:
So, on the precedent that SC proposals are already exempt from the existing GA rules on metagaming, game mechanics and RW references [note: RW references are no longer legal under Rule 4], I'll extend that to branding and rule that "branding" doesn't apply in the SC .

(If a proposal's written in such a way that the branding is used to flame, troll or gloat, it'd be actionable and would be deleted.)

However, it is not appropriate to have a list of supporters within your proposal, especially after the operative clause. If you wish to cite native support for a Liberation, do so within the bulk of the proposal - see here. Additionally, attempts to spell out your name with bolded letters, or other such silliness, will likely be deemed illegal under Rule 2 (use your common sense).

You were saying...?
