Updated, version 2:
Recognizing The Ever-Watchful Federation of Biyah as one of the most ancient and revered nations in the world;
Remembering the very many hats that this nation has worn and continues to wear, figuratively, having defended many regions of NationStates via its role in High Command of the Alliance Defense Network, and working behind the scenes during many of the more colourful moments of world history, like some kind of Fate, ensuring events unfold as they should;
Saddened that proper intelligence work seems to be a dying art in NationStates, and one in which Biyah has tremendously excelled, be it raiding with the Atlantic Alliance, defending with the ADN/UDL or assisting for or against coups d'etat in the pacifics, including, but not limited to, the WPT, the WPD, the Empire of Osiris, and the Coalition of the South Pacific.
Conceding that the leader of Biyah is a card carrying member of the ex-feeder tyrants club;
Noting, on the contrary, that [/i]The Empire[/i]'s regime, which this nation (via Lord Rahl) helped to perpetrate in The East Pacific, served not only to shake that region up, but also spurred the citizens of the member nations of that region, in the fullness of time, into creating for themselves a democratic system of regional government;
Celebrating the many and long-lasting contributions Biyah has made to community building, most recently in the The Sovereign Confederation, an inter-regional organization working to protect the sovereignty of its members, and in Osiris, where Biyah was represented as Kai Repat and Spokesperson of the Septarchy, and used Biyan influence to improve social cohesion of that group, promoting a strong regional identity for Osiris;
Realizing Biyah works tirelessly to protect what Biyah cares about;
Hereby commends the Ever-Watchful Federation of Biyah.
I welcome any feedback, positive or negative, especially if it is contructive. I'm not familiar with the SC norms. What do the members of the SC think?
