[PASSED] Commend Staynes

Postby Aivintis » Wed Nov 01, 2023 6:17 pm

This is the first fully RP-based attempt at a commendation in TEP history, and I could not think of a better person for it. Staynes is THE defining power in TEP's RP map of Urth, and his hand is in every major event. He is the most influential RPer in all of TEP, imo, and one of the most dedicated worldbuilders I've ever met. I foresee that this attempt will be less controversial than every single one of my other commendation drafts, but I'd still like comments.

Commend Staynes

Commendation | Nominee: Staynes


The Security Council,

Maintaining that Great Morstaybishlia, a political union dominated by its core country of Staynes, is one of, if not the, most powerful nation-state on the world of Urth, maintaining a massive effect on world history through its admittedly bleak history of colonialism and conquest across every continent of Urth, a vibrant land of story-telling and political scheming within The East Pacific,

Applauding the success of the progressive decolonization movement in Morstaybishlia, including the swift protection of political and civil rights in current and former Morstaybishlian territories, the development of liberal democracy in every land Morstaybishlia touched, and the easy devolution of self-determination through strong local governments,

Honoring its diverse environment, with a varied climate including biodiverse jungles, wherein one may find the Morstaybishlian national animal, the unique Auroran Jaguar, but also high mesas and vast dunes, where flora and fauna are sparse; an environmental diversity rivaled only by the great cultural diversity of its urban landscape, with the capital, Sani Bursil, the most populous city in Urth, serving as a center of international trade and immigration,

Understanding that the Staynish language is the most widespread language in the world of Urth, acting as the language of diplomacy, an official or recognized language in over 35 nations, including most world powers, and the official language of the International Forum, a global alliance similar to the World Assembly but exclusive to Urth,

Praising the maintenance of TEP’s online encyclopedia page of Great Morstaybishlia as it has held a consistent spot as the most well-attended and longest article, with its detailed exploration on Morstaybishlian history, politics, and more serving as the prime example shown to upcoming nations in Urth in order to grant direction for the documentation of national history and culture,

Appreciating Staynish contributions to biological studies through speciation and phylogeny charts and historical studies with the creation of a detailed record of the longest-reigning rulers in Urth history, divided into lists of monarchs, dictators, and elected leaders and sorted according to state of origin, lifespan, and length of reign, including dates when possible,

Lionizing Staynes' further ability to rebuild the lands previously dominated by the Grand Matriarchy of Ethalria, an oppressive colonial power known for its globe-spanning history of war and cultural expansion, following its destruction during a devastating conflict between the major powers of the Auroran continent known as the Auroran Imperial War; Staynes' efforts allowed for five independent states, known collectively as the Ethalns, to continue Ethalrian culture in its ancestral homeland within self-determined democracies,

Lauding the novel-sized historical collection of documents titled “Shattering Diplomacy,” an adventure of modern politics spreading a web of political intrigue all over Urth as the Prime Minister of the Ethaln state Vothetria, Clauzia Sarohart, influences world events amidst personal strife and political chaos, a historical accounting which has been discussed by news networks in many other countries, as well as has spilled over into foreign nations such as Tuvaltastan, Tretrid, and Axdel,

Respecting Staynes’s long journey in Urth, starting in 2016, reporting on the current events of their nation, a journey in which they developed their ability and the quality of their writings, as well as expanding their inclusion of foreign nations, until they reached a level of quality and interconnectedness which now serves as a shining example to all new nations on Urth, evident in histories such as, in recent memory:
  1. “The Great War: An Anthology,” detailing events of the biggest war in Urth history with assistance from The Oan Isles and Norgsveldet;
  2. “History is Written by the Victors,” an 18th century story on colonization, alongside New Dudley (Vistaraland) and Norgsveldet; and
  3. “The Burden of Love,” on a Staynish prince’s visit to the Oblivion Islands, written jointly with New Leganes;

Extolling Staynish service to the world of Urth as a cartographer and community leader, introducing awards to honor the informational feats of notable national governments, and producing a detailed, high resolution map of Urth alongside Tuvaltastan, another cartographer, which brought immense detail to the world, maintaining the quality of the world community by standing against conspiracy theories suggesting wildly unrealistic events have occurred in Urth, and

Determining Staynes to be a nation of great importance to a great many nations in The East Pacific, with its influence and good works being accepted with begrudging respect even by the enemies of the Staynish crown,

Hereby Commends Staynes.

This should be "Lionising" (and in the other clauses "recognised" and "colonisation") for the sake of British imperialism. More seriously, while this may very well be commendable Ooc it might be worth linking this somehow to make it commendable Ic -- maybe directly make the new Ethalns the commendable aspect and the rest as backstory? Eg I've quickly rewritten this clause, it's more so meant as an example so feel free to rewrite or adapt this as much as needed:

Otherwise this is very well-written and I certainly hope to see this pass.

I put it on last call to try to spur comments. Hopefully I get some, even if they don't offer changes to the proposal.

I lied. I'll probably submit tomorrow (technically today, actually, what I mean is "after I next wake up"). I secured stamps so I don't have to rely on manual tging or getting an api key or whatever it's called. But yes, before I submit, make any last minute comments.

You can also comment after I submit, but once it's submitted I expect only to see "Wow Aiv youre so smart and cool and wonderful and I will urge my local delegate to vote for". Okay not actually but still, I'd prefer criticism is given while I can still change things.

This is now in queue. I thank all Delegates who approved it. As I am now inevitable, I'm guessing I'll see less comments from people and more stances from regions. I hope all are in favor, and I'd be willing to answer questions or address concerns.

Temporarily on hold so as to not accidentally be a queue stuffer. Will be returned to its rightful place in the submitted proposals page when the libs or injuncts or whatever go through. On the bright side, any concerns can still be addressed.

I apologize to the delegates that have already approved the proposal and the regions that have begun internal procedures to decide their vote. I hope to count on y’all’s support when the time comes again, but as is so often the case in NS, urgent matters of R/D will take precedence.
