"Liberate KR" has a goal that is reasonably related to the Liberation function however (leave the region open to invasion in an indeterminate future).
This just means to condemn TEP. One could have submitted it as a Condemnation and it would've worked perfectly.
That wasn't true for previous 'symbolic Liberations' (e.g., Liberate The Security Council), imo.
But it's a GCR, which means it is open to being coup'ed. There's symbolism there- it's liberation from the regime in the charge, not condemnation of the region as a whole.

Also, seeing as how we passed Condemn Wrapper, I'm not entirely sure why someone should be so opposed to nonserious resolutions

Very weak symbolism. It doesn't even call for a removal of the government.
It's not much different from Condemn The Pacific (which, at least, had one clause which urged the inhabitants of the region to remove the NPO). Would it have been fine to submit the exact same text of that as 'Liberate The Pacific'?
What's the difference between the two categories, then?

As a native of TEP, I humbly request that you do not Liberate The East Pacific. The result would be simply devastating to a healthy, thriving community save us from Yuno please and I don't know how we would continue on with this looming threat on the horizon.

Oh please, do this. That badge is awesome. :p

Okay I have to question why this meme of a resolution is happening? Either way I support this, expect me to vote in favor of this once it reaches voting time.

Just noting for the record, the TEP delegate has approved this. Hmmm. I suppose a Liberation badge next to its name would look very nice and sunshine-shiny, that's probably a good thing for a new nation to see when it joins a feeder.

You know what, I might just vote for this.

I wonder who might have secured her support. Whoever it is must be a firm believer in 'what is there to lose?'

Stop giving misogynistic abusers a platform. Anyone who sides with Tiktok Star Andrew Tate even 1% of what he says will be treated as enemy who should be shamed out of society. Impressions+Views+Videowatches=$. Nothing he says is new or revolutionary. I don't care if he said "some good stuff", it's still bad because: the more you watch him, the more ad revenue MONEY and algorithm BOOSTS you're giving him to traffick victims. And don't say the victim lied, a young man stupidly told me that the victim confessed to lying, I told em to link me proof, articles or the Audio of her confession, he googled and found 0 proof 0 articles, and he realized he was spreading fake rumors he heard and BELIEVED without fact-check. Don't brand victims as liars without GOOGLING. Debated here

Fake news. Fake nations. TRUE TEPers are patriotic and have unending loyalty to our leader. Any other insinuation are utter lies.

Fervently in support

Postby Verdrassil » Fri Mar 23, 2018 9:55 am

Living under the tyranny of such a brutal and malicious dictator has proven too much for me to bear at this point. Having been conscripted into her cabinet and forced to do many unspeakable things, I have witnessed firsthand what the horrors of her delegacy have wrought upon what was once a respectable and well-renowned feeder region. It is beyond my comprehension how a region that was once so proudly democratic is now forced to worship this psychotic despot as if she is some cult idol. "Hail Yuno! Hail the Loligarch!" God, it makes me sick to recall such mechanical chanting, but such behavior is mandatory under threat of being purged. Further, my sight still has yet to recover fully from the over-abundance of eye-searing pink which pervades every facet of the region. What happened to the green-and-yellow of old? And don't even get me started on the deluge of anime and "all things cute" we are compelled to endure. It is absolutely disgraceful how frequently this "Loligarch" tramples upon the sacrosanct traditions held by the region. No dignity!

I strongly encourage each and everyone one of my colleagues in this prestigious World Assembly to vote FOR this resolution in order to save our great region from the clutches of evil itself. Consider this a plea for help. Prove that the indomitable can indeed be felled. Give us back our region! Give us back our identity! Liberate The East Pacific!

Game-created region.
Liberation.
Now THIS is truly toothless, pointless, and a waste of everyone's time!
Why aren't we condemning this region? No! Don't give me that badge of honor rebuttal! This is SYMBOLIC! THIS SO-CALLED "LIBERATION" IS A BADGE OF HONOR! Holy mackerel. We have truly lost our minds in this Security Council of late.

Against. If the natives don't like the color pink, they can move to another region.
That's all I have to say on this one. I'm more concerned about the user-created regions anyway.
