The Final/Submitted Draft:
The Security Council,
Presenting A Leaf on the Wind, commonly known as Sarah, as a diligent public servant to many regions throughout the international community, with a diverse background in cultural, military, and government roles,
Beginning the story of Sarah’s prominence in The Rejected Realms (TRR), a historic defender region with a unique culture and admission system for nations, where they served in critical positions over several years that undoubtedly enriched the strength of their community:
- Being a cornerstone of domestic life and development via their multiple terms as Officer (minister equivalent) with the portfolios of Culture and Outreach, each twice. In these roles, Sarah enhanced the Reject experience by forming a welcome committee to integrate new members and holding numerous artistic contests such as photography and writing that were open to all,
- Rising to the rank of Lieutenant in the Rejected Realms Army (RRA), where they protected innocent regions from harm with distinction. During their time in the RRA, Sarah spearheaded major institutional reforms in rank structure and recordkeeping in addition to training numerous individuals of diverse capability who would serve the RRA ably,
- Serving as Delegate (head of government) of the region, during which time they maintained and grew a strong presence in the WA by pursuing and representing TRR in the establishment of the Partnership of Sovereignty, of which TRR is a founding signatory,
Inspired by Sarah’s part in organizing the Defender Olympics for three consecutive years and counting. This annual event brings together dozens of participants from defender regions and their partners, allowing them to partake in friendly competitions and demonstrate their military skills,
Noting that during their time as a defender, Sarah was also a member of The Order of the Grey Wardens (TGW). Concurrent to their role as a Warden-Lieutenant (an officer-level designation), they served as the WA Delegate of the region. Sarah’s delegacy was particularly important to TGW, as it saw the formalization of the position, a marked increase in endorsements (a trend which has continued since their tenure), and the implementation of regular discussions on WA proposals,
Astonished that while also in TRR and TGW, Sarah still found time to contribute meaningfully to the government of The North Pacific. As an industrious member of the Ministry of Culture, Sarah onboarded and instructed new staffers with great proficiency, leading to a revival in the overall health of the ministry, culminating in them being appointed Minister of Culture in 2021 and continuing their excellent work there,
Appreciating Sarah’s involvement in Europeia as a politician and cultural staple of the region. During their time as Minister of Interior they oversaw highly successful recruitment efforts and capitalized on the same via integration improvements, namely establishing a regional welcoming committee to maximize the retention and experience of new Europeians,
Admiring that while Vice President of Europeia, Sarah represented them in the command team of CARD, a coalition formed in response to the seventh nuclear apocalypse. Sarah took on the often overlooked task of outreach and crowd-control, ensuring orders were smoothly carried out by smaller nations, allowing CARD and their allies to put up fierce efforts throughout the conflict,
Ending our story with Sarah’s ongoing career in Balder, a region which they became a member of in 2021. As a citizen of Balder, Sarah has contributed to a wide array of government functions that have undoubtedly bettered the community in question, such as with the following:
- Improving the cultural presence of Balder as Minister of Engagement and Culture and later Statsminister. Similarly to their strengths in TRR, Sarah has led a variety of arts-based events, in addition to holiday celebrations and festivals with Balder’s allies,
- Working alongside Kazaman to grow the foreign affairs and military involvement of Balder in a turbulent interregional climate. Balder’s Jomsvikings several times answered the call to service dutifully, participating in various sieges and small liberations throughout 2022, the result of Sarah’s direct involvement and encouragement,
- Most recently, being appointed Princess of Jomsborg. This royal title is conferred upon only the most trusted and dedicated Balderans, allowing them to take a leadership role in the security and cultural development of the region,
Believing, then, that Sarah’s contributions across many regions warrant recognition, and that they are an exemplary nation in the fields of culture and regional atmosphere, as well as generating enthusiasm and involvement within their communities and prizing their ability to continually rise to the occasion,
Hereby commends [nation=long]A Leaf on the Wind[/nation].
