Then they deserve a place in the forum thread, not the proposal body. I'm with Wrapper on this. Leaving those in makes this a non-starter.

However, it is not appropriate to have a list of supporters within your proposal, especially after the operative clause. If you wish to cite native support for a Liberation, do so within the bulk of the proposal - see here. Additionally, attempts to spell out your name with bolded letters, or other such silliness, will likely be deemed illegal under Rule 2 (use your common sense). More on the use of acrostics can be found here.

There are a lot of words in this proposal, but minimal substance. Additionally, at first glance, "Delegate endorsement counts" strikes me as a 4(c) violation.
Any term included within NationStates the game - eg. passwords, World Factbook Entries, founders, eject, 'black helicopters transporting nations between regions' - legal (see here, here, here, here and here)

That would probably be legal terminology, Jakker. See here:Any term included within NationStates the game - eg. passwords, World Factbook Entries, founders, eject, 'black helicopters transporting nations between regions' - legal (see here, here, here, here and here)
If UM wished to avoid running afoul of a 4C violation, he should consider changing the phrasing to: Endorsements received as Delegate of The East Pacific.

As you can see below, it is illegal. The only way you can interpret a list of "allies" is as a list of supporters. Merriam-Webster states one of the definitions of an ally as: "one that is associated with another as a helper : a person or group that provides assistance and support in an ongoing effort, activity, or struggle ".

Incidentally, LOLigarch is both incorrect (the people who came up with that word never specified what the composition of the word was comprised of) and makes it sound less serious.
If you want a serious Commendation of Yuno, don't write it like a joking propaganda piece that detracts from the good Yuno did.

Also under the auspicious watch of the LOLigarch and Sovereign Lord Protector of the Realms of the Eastern Pacific, the South Pacific Special Forces experienced increased success in spreading democratic cosmopolitanism to realms far and wide.

He's mentioned 3 GCR militaries in the proposal and none of them have records of your R/D with them? I thought all groups kept logs of their movements.

Apparently she was for less than a month in May 2016, but never attended any operations and was never promoted, take that as you will. Was legitimately difficult for me to find any record of it.
