This afternoon, I would like to thank Consular, Drasnia, Ever-Wandering Souls, Fauxia, and Unibot III for their kind words (in forum and @Discord) and suggestions for me to go ahead with this endeavour. I am scared of writing this because I know that I am just a newbie (and most likely a noob haha...) in Security Council related matters, and I don't know anyone in Gameplay (let alone GA and SC...), but I promise that I will do my best! This draft will be kept here (as a draft) until I am 110% sure that it is ready to be turned into a real proposal.
Finally, to the Security Council, General Assembly, and Gameplay regulars, please criticise everything here. Do not hold back. I want you to ask hard questions about anything related to this draft. The Macabees has countless onsite (NS) and offsite (NS related, but outside NS forums or game) record and posts (from as early as
My apologies for this rambling (very annoying... I know...). Thank you to GA, SC, and Gameplay regulars for taking the time to read this thread! Please help a noob out here (by criticising what I am going to put here as much as possible). Finally, this post still very much under construction; put in forum for fail-safe record keeping purpose thank you

Commend The Macabees
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.
Category: Commendation | Nominee: The Macabees | Proposed by: YohannesThe World Assembly,

APPRECIATES The Macabees’ leadership in distinguished international forums, such as its administration of The Ns Draftroom (2005-2007) and its founding of the Nsdraftroom (2007-present), which have assisted countless nations with engineering and technical peer reviews since 2005;
PRAISES the many scholarly works of The Macabees, including its analysis of “Electrothermal-Chemical Technology”, “Improvised Explosive Devices & MRAP”, and “Problems Encountered with Higher Caliber Tank Guns”;
HIGHLIGHTS The Macabees’ historical position as a trendsetter in military research and development, which has influenced the designs and technologies of more than 400 nations, including those recognised by the World Assembly under:OBSERVES The Macabees’ historical track record of combating slavery, such as its military operations against Ralkovia and The Scandinvans in “Titanomachy — GD/Gholgoth”, and thus the International Association of Slave Exporting Nations (IASEN), which was noted as a threat to international order by the World Assembly under SCR#20 “Condemn Greater Tezdrian” in 2010 and SCR#104 “Condemn Ralkovia” in 2012;
- SCR#24 “Condemn Great Nepal”;

ACKNOWLEDGES that The Macabees designed the Arca. IV Nakíl, the most exported tank in the history of arms trade and probably the most produced since 2005, and was thus the inspiration behind the technologies used by many military storefronts to defend the sovereignty of countless innocent nations, without many realising this fact due to it being lost in the annals of history;
LAUDS The Macabees’ willingness to assist newly emerging nations, such as its decision to support Havensky in 2009, United World Order in 2012, and Patrick OConner in 2017;
EXTOLS The Macabees for its contribution in the NationStates World Fair III, where it lectured on the importance of realism in conducting international trade;

- Arca IV Nakíl (1) thread in the old (2006) Jolt forum [ Jolt Archived Link in 2006 ] [ The NS Draftroom Link in 2006 ] [ Old Fuermak offsite ] [ Nakíl 1A3/1A3HA Link in 2008 ] [ Mark 30 design link in 2009 ] [ Kríertor Conglomerate ]; the grandfather of all NationStates Modern Technology main battle tanks and sub systems. Why is that? The Macabees was the first person to go in-depth about main battle tank storytelling back in 2006. His Nakil design since 2006 (real life year) has been sold to countless (too many...) roleplayers’ nations out there; including those who took inspiration from his Nakil tanks and created their own storefronts back in the old Jolt [NS] forum... which are today the owners of popular storefronts, such as Lyran Arms to name one. Many nations after Jolt took inspiration from The Macabees' NSMT technology, and practically every single NSMT storefront owner in NationStates today do too, without them realising it (because of... lost history).

The Macabees has been roleplaying/storytelling IC conflict against both Ralkovia and The Scandinvans (with more good writers helping the slavers against The Macabees... such as Havensky and United World Order) since 2014 (as shown below by the Titanomachy — Greater Dienstad/Gholgoth thread).
