Proposed Legislation wrote:Commend Antarctic Oasis
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.
THE WORLD ASSEMBLY:
NOTES that 17 Antarctic Oasis nations have authored 49 successful resolutions in total, within both the NSUN and NSWA;
DETAILS that these passed resolutions cover a wide variety of topics, including education, economics, child pornography, necrophilia, terrorism, naval protocols, and also the highly controversial subject of abortion;
LAUDS Antarctic Oasis as only one of the above passed resolutions has as of yet been repealed, which demonstrates a strength in proposal writing and ensures that the region’s efforts have affected all WA member nations;
OBSERVES that diplomats from Antarctic Oasis are frequently found in the Strangers’ Bar and that they have contributed greatly to the atmosphere and ambiance of that drinking establishment - provided that they are not brawling, lighting fires, causing explosions, and/or pranking other diplomats;
APPRECIATES the entertainment value that diplomats of Antarctic Oasis have added to World Assembly floor debates with their inclusion of shockingly profane dolphins, destructor bunnies, pie fights, water fights, karaoke contests, and more;
DOCUMENTS the other contributions that members of Antarctic Oasis have made to the NSWA, such as:
• Highlighting loopholes in proposed legislation
• Unearthing indisputable archeological proof that the WA Secretariat currently known as “Ardchoille” was originally known as “Artichokeville”
• Introducing all ambassadors to the Thessadorian Ambassador and her considerable assets;
OVERLOOKS the other, less honorable contributions that members of Antarctic Oasis have made to the NSWA, such as:
• Soliciting bribes for votes
• Exploiting loopholes in passed legislation
• Employing gnomish war-bands and kamikaze penguins to keep compliance officials at bay;
COMMENDS the region of Antarctic Oasis for their many wide and varied contributions to the World Assembly.

Three quick general notes before I jump into the latest draft -
- Just like I'm most comfortable writing IC, I'm most comfortable updating my drafts by detailing (specifically) what I'm changing and to what
- I noticed that my clause-opening verbage wasn't parallel to the final point: "COMMENDS Antarctic Oasis," so I changed all those to make them parallel. And now some of them don't sound quite as good to my ears, so I'm certainly open to alternate words, if you have any suggestions.
- A editing-mark free copy of the latest draft will be found in the replies to this topic thread.
REFERENCES/EVIDENTIARY SUPPORT:
For your reference: Historical Resolutions and World Assembly Resolutions
Evidence of Artichokeville's existence started here (I believe this is the first reference) and additional Artichokeville-references can be found here and here.
Here's a few more links for your perusal/curiosity-fulfillment:
Antarctic Oasis on NSWiki (the region has quite the vast NSWiki archive, which I recommend checking out if you'd like more information on the region to help determine your vote on this matter}
Delegates of Antarctic Oasis
Antarctic Oasis Delegate Smackdowns (or: how the Antarctic Oasis determines who their next delegate will be)
I can dig out examples of the other items, but I think most of them are frequent enough that ambassadors with a passing familiarity with the Festering Snakepit will understand the references and not need specific examples.
As this text has been submitted (after being posted for debate/discussion for a few days), opinions are certainly welcome but suggestions for improvement are mostly futile at this stage.
