I find the jump on the third paragraph, "In pursuit of renowned art pieces" from the first and second paragraphs to be particularly jarring.

Based on the extensive discussion in the WA server where you repeatedly complained about "style" and "flow", but refused to give specifics, chalking it up to "feel"... where you also said "I don't have specific complaints about the content"... I think I'm good on taking you seriously.

Given this vagueness up until this one, menial, finally specific complaint, and your reputation for being a late-challenger in the GA, I've concluded you are merely interested in complaining at a point when it is already moot.

In other words, shove off.

Good for you. I, for one, find nothing wrong with your bill and have already voted for it.

Rhaza, you may want to change the title prefix to "AT VOTE", given that there was no queue.

The mods do this, when they pin the thread to the top. Seems like it has already been done.

I mean there's nothing wrong with the OP doing it. Saves a bit of time, particularly if the sticky is late like today's. (Had a bunch of stuff to do at work first thing this morning.)

Honorable members of the Security Council,

The Federation of Zypharia proudly casts its vote in favor of this commendation for UPC in recognition of their outstanding contributions to Europeia and the broader international community.

UPC has demonstrated exceptional leadership, innovation, and commitment across multiple domains, including governance, diplomacy, security, and technological advancements. Their tenure as President of Europeia, spanning an unprecedented four consecutive terms, revitalized the region's political and civic engagement. Their leadership as WA Delegate has fortified Europeia’s security and interregional standing.

Moreover, UPC's technological contributions, such as endorsement management systems, recruitment tools, and surveillance infrastructure, have not only strengthened Europeia but also provided invaluable resources to other regions, fostering security, efficiency, and growth. Their diplomatic achievements, including the ratification of the Aegis Accords and the Treaty of the Shining Seas, have cemented Europeia’s role as a key player in interregional affairs.

Recognizing such a remarkable individual aligns with the Security Council’s purpose—to honor those who elevate the standards of leadership, security, and cooperation. UPC's tireless efforts and dedication merit the highest distinction this body can bestow.

For these reasons, Zypharia proudly votes in favor of this commendation.

Thank you.
The President of the Federation of Zypharia.

Freemarket has voted against the World Assembly’s proposal to commend UPC, standing firm on our principles of merit, individual achievement, and the rejection of state-sanctioned accolades. While UPC’s contributions to Europeia and the broader international community are acknowledged, Freemarket holds that true accomplishment does not require the validation of a centralized governing body. Achievements should be recognized by those who voluntarily associate with and benefit from them, not imposed through bureaucratic decree.

While I do believe this nation is commendable, this proposal speaks excessively about what UPC has done for Europeia and close allies. It doesn't make a clear connection to how they have benefited the community as a whole - Europeia isn't the entire world. And it doesn't seem right that powerful defender players should commend each other. Not that this opinion really matters, anyway.
