- This is only an initial draft, so feedback and critique's always appreciated.
- I have requested a legal eagle to do a legality check on it for me, but that doesn't mean others can't chime in!
- I'm aware that RP commends are iffy, especially considering the current "proposal" at vote, that not withstanding Bears is a widely known and respected nation to most if not the majority of us, so it would be daft not to include their RP work as it has assisted them in becoming an international figure
Commend Bears Armed
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.
Category: Commendation | Nominee: Bears Armed | Proposed by: Abacathea
The Security Council;
Determined to see the worthiest nations in existence enshrined in the records of this esteemed council;
Believing that the nation of Bears Armed has made a tremendous positive impact on the international community since it opened itself to outsiders, involving itself in international affairs through the medium of cultural events, sporting competitions, and the WA itself, despite finding itself to be one of the few mainly-Ursine countries in a predominantly Human universe;
Praising the fact that Bears Armed has not fought a single war of aggression since its current constitution was adopted more than two centuries ago, and that despite this it still maintains adequate armed forces not only for its own defence but also for helping to protect its neighbours;
Applauding the Urrsish people and government for the skill with which they have made their nation a very pleasant one in which to live, for example by managing to keep serious crime at a minimal level whilst still allowing high levels of personal freedom, by demonstrating that economic growth need not ruin the environment, and by their support for cultural activities, so that international surveys consistently place it in the highest percentile both for ‘most cultured’ and for ‘happiest citizens’;
Cognizant that Bears Armed has extended this approach to governance to the international stage for the betterment of others through the actions of their World Assembly division Bears Armed Mission which to date has authored the resolutions
- GA#87 - Meteorological Cooperation,
a resolution which formed the International Meteorological Organisation with the purpose of collating and disseminating information regarding weather patterns and anomalies to all member states;- GA#168 - Law of the Seas,
which ultimately defined sea borders and helped provide means and ways to resolve international disputes pursuant to same;- GA#224 - Promotion of Bee-Keeping,
which not only promoted an avenue of international trade for many nations but also increased the potential for flora and fauna to flourish;- and most recently GA#267 - Sensible Limits on Hunting, which, in conjunction with the Resolution GA #199 - Sustainable Fishing Act (the contribution to which by Bears Armed Mission was sufficient to earn them recognition as co-author), helps to guide nations in protecting both their ecosystems and their food supplies;
Further appreciating that while the Urrsish delegation to the esteemed World Assembly has directly produced the above resolutions for international betterment, they have also been instrumental in the refinement of a number of other proposals brought before the General Assembly;
Believing that Bears Armed's contribution to the international stage exceeds the minimum needed to meet the criteria for commendation of "outstanding contribution by a nation" and resolved to correcting this oversight;
Hereby;
Commends Bears Armed.

There's are just some of the points of reference in case a debate ensues pertaining to that, realistically, Bears Armed and it's alters can be found dotted all over the NS World, and while that list is extensive, it's hardly comprehensive in terms of what I've been able to acquire, some of which I was able to verify from the horses *ahem* bears mouth, itself.
