[SUBMITTED] Condemn Menta Lee-IL (Two, Electric Boogaloo)

Appalled at the suppression of human rights in their country;

Surprised at the names of their national fields, which force adoration onto their eponymously-named leader;

Horrified at their hateful views against the WA;

Baffled at their dictator-like rule over Psychotic Dictatorships, which has already been condemned;

Shocked that their motto is "DESTROYER OF DEMOCRACY, FREEDOM, HUMAN RIGHTS, PEACE!!!";

Troubled by the nation's extremely authoritarian policies;

Distraught at them having the second most corrupt government in the world;

Aghast at their decrees, which indicate their leader as an insurmountable godly figure, including:

  • A decree which forces every resident of every nation to address Menta-Lee-IL (the person) as a name among the likes of "Dearest Leader", and a death sentence if addressed otherwise;
  • A decree which declares Menta Lee-IL (the person) to be above all beings and deities;

Alarmed that over 97% of all deaths are by mysterious disappearance, which, in reality, is presumably execution that is carried out by Menta Lee-IL's government;

Afraid that Menta Lee-IL would keep oppressing its citizens if no action is taken;

Hereby Condemns Menta Lee-IL.

Full support, but I'm not sure if you can condemn someone who's not in the WA.

You can and it has been done so in the past.

I like this proposal. It needs work, mainly fleshing out some of the clauses, but I like it.

Also, Menta Lee-Il is controlled by Lancaster of Wessex, who has authored 7 issues. You should incorporate that as well

Maybe go a little bit more in depth about their role in Psychotic Dictatorships. It might be a little difficult to convince some that this condemn is warranted after the regional condemn was already passed, so I'd suggest buffing this up a bit with regards to what makes Menta so special ibeyond stats/policies.
Stay safe, be kind, and have a great day! :)

This needs elaboration. What basic human rights are being suppressed? What is this country? I recommend mentioning the nation by name here.

Surprised at the names of their national fields, which forces adoration onto their eponymously-named leader;


Why is this condemnable?

Baffled at their dictator-like rule over Psychotic Dictatorships, which has already been condemned;


What is baffling about this, and why is this condemnable?

Horrified at their hateful views against the WA, which includes a positive reaction to the aforementioned condemnation of Psychotic Dictatorships;


This is good, and more could be added to it. Like how Menta Lee Il banned nations from joining the WA for some time.

Shocked that their motto is "DESTROYER OF DEMOCRACY, FREEDOM, HUMAN RIGHTS, PEACE!!!", which encourages the suppression of values that make up the WA;


This kind of relates to the previous clause about fields forcing adoration, so I don't think this is needed. It's also just a motto - any nation could do this.

Troubled by the nation's extremely authoritarian policies, including (but not limited to):
  • The prohibition of marriage, homosexuality, and marriages;
  • The prohibition of protests, elections, and private businesses;
  • The prohibition of human choice in areas such as parenting, abortion, and circumcision;
  • The poor quality of life, frequent executions, and torture for it's citizens;
  • The banning of simple items such as cigarettes (all kinds), Internet, drugs, cars, computers, alcohol, and aviation;
  • The prohibition of immigration and emigration;


This is not that unique, unfortunately. Focus more on the high stats.

Aghast at their decrees, which indicate their leader as an insurmountable godly figure, including:

  • A decree which forces every resident of every nation to address Menta-Lee-IL (the person) as a name among the likes of "Dearest Leader with a death sentence if addressed otherwise;
  • A decree which declares Menta Lee-IL (the person) to be above all beings, even the most powerful gods of a nation's religion;


This could do with more content.

Afraid that Menta Lee-IL would keep oppressing their citizens if no action is taken;


This should be the penultimate clause instead.

Noting that Menta Lee-IL is a puppet state of Lancaster of Wessex, who has created issues for nations all over the multiverse that have results that are potentially catastrophic;


This 100% needs more elaboration, on what issues they caused, how many they caused, what its effects are etc.

This is incorrect. "Issues" is fine, and has been used in previous resolutions, e.g. "Condemn Noahs Second Country".

Only confessed to it end of November last year.

viewtopic.php?p=38011665#p38011665

With regards to the draft, not sure. The fact that you’re on the third one in just over a day suggests to me you’re rushing it. Need to take your time and fully understand the feedback you’ve getting.

I have mixed feelings about this proposal since control of the target nation, as far as I am aware, was passed to Psychotic Dictatorships' three chosen successor players. So it sorta feels like congratulating someone on someone else's work.

It would likely make more logical sense to describe Menta as a puppet of Lancaster of Wessex, and target that nation instead, except the RP of the two accounts is diametrically opposed. :unsure:

I really don't see any reason to condemn them, unless of course it's aimed at Lancaster of Wessex, the main nation who controls this puppet. However, LoW is a different player when played with that nation, so it really won't work in that sense. The condemnation of the region itself mentions a lot of your points, so to make sure it doesn't overlap, add more on what Menta Lee-IL did themselves.
