[Defeated] Commend Versutian Federation

Commend Versutian Federation

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

Category: Commendation | Nominee: Versutian Federation | Proposed by: Jenlom and Of the Free Socialist Territories


The Security Council,

Noting the recent Zombie Apocalypse which befell much of the world, causing the deaths of trillions in many regions;

Recognising the Versutian Federation as a region which was of low 'Zombification';

Observing that during the Zombie Apocalypse, this region became the largest of a considerable number of regions accepting "refugee" nations from other beleaguered regions;

Appreciating that the administration and protection of these regions were complicated and thankless tasks;

Realising that these tasks included, but were not limited to:

  • Ejecting and banning nations not complying with the anti-exportation policy;
  • Encouraging nations to adopt policies of cure research;
  • Monitoring nations in the region to ensure continued compliance following re-admittance after ejection;
  • Offering advice and support to nations suffering under the effects of the Zombie Apocalypse.

Acknowledging the efforts of the Versutian Federation, its leadership and the wider community in providing salvation for nations often close to collapse due to the outbreak;

Additionally appreciating the Administration's continued stewardship of the region, protecting over 230 nations from threats both from within the region and externally;

Grateful that the honourable actions of the Versutian Federation were mirrored by countless other regions who protected nations within from the harsh effects of the Apocalypse.

Concluding that many hundreds of nations and many billions of people were saved by the selfless, responsible and humane actions of these regions;

Hereby Commends Versutian Federation.

Thank you so much for this commendation proposal. It is true, the government of the Versutian Federation spent hours during the zombie outbreak making sure the Versutian Federation stayed a safe place for all refugees. It means a lot that our contribution was recognized.

Thank you for this proposed commendation. I appreciate your gratitude

You may want to change the title off of "Commend ErasmoGnome" for the second one though.

While I appreciate the work ErasmoGnome has done, i feel it may be overlooking the others.
So I support the one commending the whole regional government, not because Erasmo doesn't deserve it, but because others do too.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

I agree with this as well. While I did work hard, many others did as well. Far better to commend the Versutian Federation as a whole than just me.

Quick semantical errors: I believe each line should end with a semicolon instead of a comma, and the last line with a period. The second to last line has no punctuation at all. Great work overall though. (This is on the second one)

As per our TG conversation, feel free to take bits from this, Jenlom, provided you credit me as a co-author.

The Security Council;

NOTING the recent horrific events that have befallen much of the world, causing the deaths of trillions,

FURTHER OBSERVING the extremely destructive effect that this has had on many nations, rendering them almost non-existent and unable to defend or protect themselves,

REALISING that many of these nations needed a place of sanctuary in which to stay so that they might recover,

PRAISING the actions of the Versutian Federation, whereby:
  • The region began a lockdown and developed vaccines with which to treat the global pandemic,
  • The region's members cured rather than killed their own populaces, demonstrating great responsibility and mercy,
  • The region opened itself up to the wider world, accepting refugee nations so that their populations could be restored and the plague neutralised, without any thought for its own safety,
  • Several of the region's member states then took their cure into the wider world and set about healing the populations of many other regions,

FURTHER SEEING that the Federation's members also acted with great vigilance, keeping out nefarious nations whose sole thoughtless and contemptible aim was the spreading of the plague to others,

CONCLUDING that many hundreds of nations and many billions of people were saved by the selfless, responsible and humane actions of the Versutian Federation, at home and abroad,

HEREBY COMMENDS the Versutian Federation.
Don't be deceived when our Revolution has finally been stamped out and they tell you things are better now even if there's no poverty to see, because the poverty's been hidden...even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which these new industries foist on you, and even if it seems to you that "you never had so much" - that is only the slogan of those who have much more than you.

Actually that would be syntax, this is semantics.

Oh, yeah; supporting this, obviously.

I would say submit this as soon as the outbreak is over. No need to wait any longer than that.

Fulflood completely supports this proposal, despite the VF being run by ex-SLUans :(. They've done a lot of good work and didn't go the way of so many other zombieless regions in installing password-protection.

Not even half of the original members are SLUans - only about 5-6 are. But thanks for your support!

:) That's fine. I have a nation in the SLU (Erasmania), so I know you already. I decided not to move Erasmania because I liked the SLU, but I just created a new nation to run for SECDEF of the Versutian Federation.
