The above things I addressed have been implemented.

Side note (to BBD), I implemented two of your four redundancy suggestions as I felt that it still flowed well with the two that remained. I'm still open to consideration on it, but I think it fits well as it is now?

That reads a lot better to my eyes Quebec, it does flow well now.

Good to hear!

We’re getting to a point where I’m pretty happy with where this is at. I think I’ll be looking to submit in a week or so pending anything that would disrupt that, and of course any further feedback is welcome in the meantime.

To my eyes, you're still over by some 26ish characters. You could most easily make this up by removing "by most international diplomats" from the nickname definition.

Must have miscounted at some point. Thanks! Your suggested fix should be easy enough, I’ll do that tonight.

some bit more feedback, but in general this is quite a solid draft now.

The Treaty of Democratic Unity with The South Pacific, one of the region’s first foreign partnerships and one which established formal affiliations with a fellow champion of democratic ideals and paved the way for close cultural and military cooperation between the two regions,


The United Island Accord with 10000 Islands, which created a significant link with an assorting protector of regional sovereignty and served as the basis for frequent cultural and military partnerships,
Not sure what you mean by assorting, maybe use a more common word like notable?

The Aurora Covenant with The East Pacific, which initiated close relations with a similarly democratic community and sparked multiple joint communal events that encouraged mutual cultural developmentto encourage cultural development of both regions
simplify this

Lauding Thatcher for spearheading the formation of the Union of Democratic States Armed Forces, the regional military force of the UDS, through their authorship of the Armed Forces Establishment Act and early leadership of the organization, which has providedwith the regional military since then providing regular and vital support in defender operations such assince its inception, most notably in the liberation of South Pacific in 2018, the defense of Anatolia in 2019, and the liberations of Chaylia, Liberal Democratic Union, and Trovons in 2021,
Think this reads better because less commas

IMO though I'd recommend trying to explicitly show how Thatcher's leadership specifically contributed to UDSAF giving such important support later on. You're currently implying it by saying "look, because Thatcher made the military and helped guide it, it was able to do these operations" - but that implication can be easily ignored by saying the UDSAF Commanders who came after Thatcher did all the hard work that led to the military's success without much contribution from Thatcher's previous leadership. So you need to state what Thatcher did that made UDSAF successful to this day - why his early leadership of the military is so notable.

Maybe something about how the principles he set or the infrastructure he created made it possible could work.

One term as Chairperson of the UDS General Assembly and one as the Speaker of the Senate (the regional legislatures) where they encouraged and ensured the involvement of all citizens in debates and votes, resulting in a record-high voter turnout; the endeavors taken by them were so successful that they were later emulated by successors to achieve similar results,
It's important to note the GA no longer exists - whether you wish to mention said fact in the resolution or not is up to you or you could justify not mentioning the GA at all.

One term as the World Assembly Delegate, where they introduced the first regional WA program, which organized democratic votes on resolutions at-vote and encouraged extensive debates about them, thereby boosting WA participation and interest in the region,and inspiring future programs by delegates Dome Artan and The Glorious Hypetrain that have led (said programs leading the region to achieve endorsement levels on par with long established powers),
Less commas = better flow

Not sure about the paranthesis but better than before, IMO.

Implemented most of Zuk's feedback above and some from off-site feedback, I'm going to mark this as last call now, but still open to feedback of course

This looks great! Here's a little stylistic suggestion that I think flows a bit better in one place . . .

. . . but take it or leave it at your discretion, of course! :) Again, awesome work!

I was quite surprised to see this resolution...I remember the Union being my first longtime region in NS before I lapsed with my logins and ended up in Balder, having forgotten the name of the old region. Nice to see its grown over the years under Thatcherites!

Postby Partnership for Sovereignty » Tue Jun 14, 2022 9:26 am

The Partnership for Sovereignty recommends a vote FOR "Commend The Noble Thatcherites”: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1719947

Similarly to the just-as-excellent & recently passed Security Council resolution Commend Andusre, Commend The Noble Thatcherites justifies the fact that region-building work in singular regions (specifically UCRs) is absolutely noteworthy. Regionalist region-builders like Thatcher often form the backbone of the communities they reside in - without whom, such communities would not exist and thus without whom NationStates would be less diverse. Yet it is commonly known that commending regionalist region-builders can be a highly difficult endeavor due to the view that the Security Council should commend work more broader in scope than within a single region. In keeping with its goals to promote community building throughout NationStates, the Partnership for Sovereignty expresses its disagreement with this view. Clearly, as shown by Commend The Noble Thatcherites, the labor of regionalists can be just as notable as those who have dedicated their lives in service to many communities. Read More...
