[PASSED] Commend TECT (The Empire of Common Territories)

Postby Kuriko » Fri May 31, 2019 6:50 pm

OOC: Okay, this is my first attempt at writing a non-GP commendation and I'm not sure how I did. While I'm aware that the SC is mainly an OOC area, I'm hoping you could all indulge me a bit by making IC posts ^·^. Oh, and as of yet I haven't named my WA Ambassador for this nation but I'll try to get it worked out.

IC:

From the Office of WA Affairs of the nation of Kuriko,

"Greetings fellow ambassadors to the World Assembly. Today I bring before you a proposal written by the legal offices of our nation, wholly compliant with international laws on creating legal legislation. We believe that the nation we are proposing receive a Commendation is more than deserving of one, and ask you to please nitpick our proposal to make sure it's factually correct and has all the details it needs. Thank you for your time."

Sincerely,
WA Ambassador of the nation of Kuriko

The Security Council,

Believing that any nation that has contributed in a positive manner to the international community should be internationally recognized for their efforts;

Noting that a nation named The Empire of Common Territories, colloquially known by the acronym of TECT, is one such nation deserving of international recognition for their positive contributions to the larger community of nations;

Acknowledging that although TECT is an imperialistic monarchist nation formed through civil war and conquest, as well as the odd purchase of land from foreign governments, the government of TECT is even handed with their subjects and provides many benefits to them such as:

  • Allowing their subjects to form their own governments and control their own internal affairs within the Imperial Colonial State system.
  • Allowing Imperial Colonial States to form their own internal military structures, known as the Home Guard, to better defend themselves.
  • Providing a better policing structure to protect all members of their society, whether they come from the main Empire or from an Imperial Colonial State.
  • Providing many jobs through the expansion of local and Imperial industries, raising the quality of life in conquered or purchased territories to be equal with members of society within the main Empire.

Recognizing TECT for the help they provide to the international community via state sponsored industries, including but not limited to the following:

  • Wolf Armaments Incorporated, a large arms manufacturing company based in Empire City, TECT. Wolf Armaments Incorporated sells arms, equipment, and supplies intended for self-defense uses to nations and individuals alike. It is the belief of this state sponsored company that nations, as well as individuals, have the right to defend themselves.
  • Royal Bancroft Bankcorp, a banking/financing services/investment Corporation based in Empire City, TECT. Royal Bancroft Bankorp provides three main amenities to their customers in the form of banking, finance, and investment. While a majority of their customer base may be within their own Empire, they also provide their services to foreign individuals and governments. Some of the governments they provide accounts to include Lamoni, Romaian, and Argentinstan.
  • Commoner League Incorporated, a mercenary and paramilitary organization based within TECT. Commoner League Incorporated provides forces to both individuals and foreign entities for the purpose of security, where they place loyalty to the customer above all else. Within its 3 year operation Commoner League Incorporated deployed forces to dozens of nations, providing forces which those nations desperately needed themselves.

Admiring TECT's dedication to the empires, kingdoms, and monarchies of the world through their leadership in the Imperion Coalition, which is a political, military, and economic alliance for the betterment of their sphere consisting of 15 nations;

Reaffirming that TECT is more than deserving of international recognition and commendation for their contributions to the international community;

Hereby Commends The Empire of Common Territories.


Edit 1: Took Nohbdy's advice and made the suggested changes.

The underlined section sounds kind of awkward when said aloud. Some slight rephrasing may make it sound better.

I also think "quality of life" might sound better than "state of living".
Thanking TECT for the help they provide to the international community via state sponsored industries, including but not limited to the following:

I think "Recognizing" would sound more professional than "Thanking".

I think you're missing a few commas after the city names. I also caught a typo where you put "government's" where you meant "governments".

Added a comma.

I think this is very well written, and that I am not in a position to make a judgement whether it is deserved or not. I've never been the best at making these sorts of judgements on RP Commendations/Condemnations. I definitely recognize their name though, which is usually a good sign with RPers; can you give a quick OOC summary of their NS career?

Thanks for looking it over Nohbdy, I was hoping you would because you're pretty good at suggesting edits. TECT started playing just over eleven years ago, and has mostly stuck to small RPs as well as storefronts and weapons designs. TECT has also taken a leadership role in the monarchy/imperialist nation role play world, which has lead to the aforementioned continuation of the Imperion Coalition. They were involved in the UDL for a time, but I decided to leave that out for a pure non-GP related proposal.

P.S. I blame my phone auto-correct for the government screwup lol

Edit: And yeah, I agree on the first part sounding odd. I'll have to think on that.

Ok, I’ll try IC though it’s not really my forte.

The Ambassador from Bhang Bhang Duc, Gag Halfrunt, approaches the microphone.

"Greetings fellow ambassadors. Our scholars regrettably could not come up with a better solution to the writing in the first clause, therefore we have removed the awkward phrasing of the writing. I hope that it sounds a bit better now."

Thanks Kuriko - my ambassador will be glad to hear that. :)

Seriously though it reads well, but I’m not really au fait enough with RP to properly make a call on this proposal.

IC: "Dear ambassadors, I come before you today with an update on our proposal. With just 8 hours left to gain quorum it has finally made it, and will go to vote in just over 4 days. Thank you for your consideration of Commend TECT! :)"

OOC: Yeah, it really struggled to make quorum. 8 hours left and 2 approvals short is a killer, just gonna say thank god for discord lol.

The Ambassador from Bhang Bhang Duc opens a bloodshot eye. “We’re very glad to hear that Ambassador. Now please let me finish these flagons of wine in peace. If I sober up in time I will certainly vote in favour.”

OOC - glad to see it made quorum Kuriko.

The proper term is "involuntary employment," which isn't that bad. Most societies have used involuntary employment at some point.

If they aren’t getting paid it’s slavery period!
