Just a couple of minor suggestions Jakker. Otherwise this reads very well - best of luck, it will have my support.

It will be for voters to determine whether those also sufficiently outweigh some of the condemnable things that COE has led or participated in and I'm not going to comment on that especially.
What I will say is that COE brought some reasonable and moral leadership into the raider community post-Predator that it was sorely lacking and gameplay benefitted from one of its finest periods in the years that followed - as a result of the fair and level playing field that both sides could again operate on. They used their influence within the raider sphere and stood up when it mattered, in a way that those of us outside* of the raider sphere couldn't have achieved and I respect that.
*theoretically

Then clearly you don't know me very well, but I'm always glad to hear about how much the Black Hawks like to think about me

Jakker City wrote:This is the second attempt at commending COE. I took the feedback from the previous attempt and tried to rework the draft to align with what others conveyed. Let me know your thoughts!The Security Council,
Acclaiming Crushing Our Enemies’ years of leadership within NationStates and declaring that this body should not be deterred by the nation's name, but instead focus on their accomplishments,
Remarking that the nominee controls General COE of The North Pacific (TNP); the largest region in NationStates,
Impressed with General COE’s dedication to The North Pacific's security through their involvement in the region’s Security Council; both as a member and as the Vice-Delegate which oversees the council,
Declaring General COE as a leading author of legislative and constitutional reform proposals that have increased the stability and effectiveness of TNP's democratic governance including:Revering their persistence in developing physical copies of the region’s constitution and delivering these documents to 200 fellow nation leaders,
- The How a Bill Becomes a Law Amendment: Clarified how and when legislation takes effect;
- The OR Bill: Added language to the regional legal code for consistent handling of citizenship applications;
- The Oath Reform Bill: Eliminated a formatting barrier for new members applying for citizenship;
- The Reopen Nominations Fix Bill: Improved voting ballots to allow citizens to both express their preference of candidate as well as whether or not to reopen nominations;
- The Let's Stop Worrying About Numbers Bill: Added expectations for how constitutional clauses were formatted and allowed Speakers to correct formatting errors in a more streamlined process;
- The Zombie Preparedness Act: Allowed the region to more efficiently handle zombie emergencies;
Emphasizing General COE’s efforts in modernizing the operations of the region’s Speakers Office and transforming the position into a significant role that nations actively aspire to by:
- Adding responsibilities to the Deputy Speakers' role for smoother transitions and to promote the retention of institutional memory;
- Updating the list of nations that held membership in the Regional Assembly after months of neglect and setting a new standard for the prompt processing of new member applications;
Underscoring the importance of this nation's role in the creation of the Election Commission within The North Pacific, as well as the design of many mottos for governmental offices that increased pride and prestige,
Thanking General COE 's leadership, including being appointed as the first Surgeon General, in developing the regional strategic responses and organizing the distribution of cures to other nations during times in which TNP has faced zombie epidemics,
Illuminating the nominee's 10+ years of military accomplishments, which has included:
- Developing a rank and promotion system that many regional military groups have adopted and continue to use to this day to help clarify roles and allow new nations to understand how to achieve each rank; which did not simply outline hierarchical positions like others before, but gave new responsibilities and recognition with promotions;
- Playing a vital role in the foreign policy practices and regional responses of The Black Hawks' Council including the aftermath of the military weapon, Predator, being found to be against international law;
- Promoting a culture of professionalism and responsibility in The Black Hawks that exists to this day, despite the potential of unsavory nations being drawn to conquering other regions;
Nothing that Crushing Our Enemies has made several musical contributions to NationStates including the songs, Moves Like Jakker and Grey Wardens Boogie,
Yielding that while their songs have not won every global song contest competed in, they have earned numerous awards and these songs are known across NationStates,
Concluding that this nominee has devoted much energy towards maximizing the Organization of regional practices for the benefit of so many other nations and should be Esteemed by this body,
Hereby commends Crushing Our Enemies.

A condemnation, sure, that's not as much of a stretch, meh nominee, but not the worst that we've seen. A commendation, for his primary achievements being a few things for TNP (which should be recognised by TNP, rather than them trying to stack this vote through) and raiding a series of regions, nope. The majority of supporters appear to be his mates attempting to backpat him from TBH and TNP. Closest to a commendable thing that he appears to have done, is write a few songs, but if writing a few songs outweighs all the negatives of a nominee, then we'll have a very long musical list of commended nations. Which doesn't sound terrible tbf, but COE is still not deserving of a commendation.
