[PASSED] Commend August

[Luna Amore]

The Security Council,

Noting that 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 August.

Edit 3: Clause about the nuclear apocalypse added, more sections modified slightly for more detail. More details coming soon.

Edit 6: Added more bullet points!

[Altmoras]

Could use some more content, but generally I'm in favor.

[Digory Kirke]

I'll work on adding more.

[Tinhampton]

R4b (usage of "his" in the RECOGNISING clause).

R4b (usage of "his" in the RECOGNISING clause).

Good catch. That was added post-rule check >-<

[Drasnia]

I'd vote against just on the principle of the obnoxious number of times you linked to August. Rule of thumb, link to whatever the first time mentioned in the proposal and references later on as plain text.

In all seriousness, I'd support this. However, there are still improvements to be made. While it's true that he's built five very successful communities, relying on pure numbers is meaningless. It'd help a whole lot more if you'd show how they've been transformed into vibrant communities as a result of August. One great example that jumps to mind would be Augustinvision.

Thank you. I'll do some editing relating to that.

Edit: Though I'd like to note that AugustinVision was not organized by August.

You have my full support Digory, even though I was just writing a proposal earlier for August, and then wham, this proposal came into my sharp eyes.

[Consular]

I agree with Dras in that you should focus on the multiple communities August has built and talk about them.

[States of Glory]

You missed an opportunity to write 'the august Security Council'.

[Fauxia]

I'm generally in favor, but I'd cut out the Ridgefield line. If I'm correct, it was not in August's control when it had 200 nations. I may be wrong, but I don't think I am

It actually was in August's control. He has always controlled the nation of Ridgefielders.

At any rate, I've drafted some bullet points. I'm not certain if you folks would think of this as adequate, so if it's not, please specify what else you'd like to see more of.

As you said, you learn something new everyday

[Marilyn Manson]

Vapid, submit this! This is great and I think it needs to pass!

[Digory Kirke]

Vapid, submit this! This is great and I think it needs to pass!

Thank you. Anyways, bullet points added.

[Tinhampton]

Applauding the encouragement of World Assembly participation among the residents of the Alliance by its, and the success of this program in Conch Kingdom and Lands End,

Something's missing here. By its what? Its who?

Typo. thank you.

[Fauxia]

Who's Vapid? Is the author also Vapid?

[Digory Kirke]

Without further objections, I'll be submitting shortly. I did make some changes I'd like to be reviewed.

[Willania Imperium]

Don't rush it. It's not a marathon. You've only posted it 3 days ago and already you're about to submit it. Slow down. It's not a rush. Let other people review it.

[Fauxia]

"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,"

This seems to be commending the Alliance, not August. I would change the words accordingly.

[The Noble Thatcherites]

If support this. It looks good.

[Chingis]

Full support. Maybe add the numbers for Union of Fash nations, for wow factor?

[Kylia Quilor]

Against.

[Manaime]

Against.

Care to elaborate?
