This has been defeated at vote in its previous incarnations in March 2017 (42% for) and February-March 2019 (45% for). I have since removed superfluous elements (and outdated ones: the Northern Broadcast Service hasn't been on air since March '18) and sought - mostly unsuccessfully - the opinions of some voices against Commend TNP v2.0 to ensure that this proposal has a slightly better chance of passing than either of those ones... and if it does, then I will be a very happy woman.Word count: 487
Commend The North Pacific
A resolution to recognise outstanding achievement by a nation or region.Category: CommendationNominee: The North PacificProposed by: Tinhampton
THE SECURITY COUNCIL:
BELIEVING that [region=The North Pacific] (TNP) serves as a shining example to the world in the art of combining freedom with security, especially after recovering from past coups d'etat executed by the likes of UPS Rail and then Great Bight, Pixiedance/Gracius Maximus, Emperor Matthuis, The Crimson Order, Shoeless Joe and Durkadurkiranistan I & II (see SC#33, 34, 49, 63, 129, 168, 169, 177 [repealed], 182, 242, 268, 279, 282, 283, 285, 286, and 296);
CONVINCED that, despite widespread political turbulence at the time, including a failed coup by The Pacific before it was due to be signed in 2004 and its suspension by a stacked Pixiedance cabinet in 2005, the Blackshear Constitution (named for its proponent and finally ratified by Thel DRan) and its successors have helped guarantee that TNP remains a free and open region that respects national sovereignty, the rule of law, habeas corpus, and the superiority of the legislative branch over its executive;
NOTING that TNP's in-house Security Council - a close-knit group of trusted, influential residents that proactively guard regional security, elected by and accountable to all citizens via the Regional Assembly (TNP's legislature) - has proven key in preventing further disarray in the region over the last decade, and has since been effectively and widely replicated, from The South Pacific's Council on Regional Security to the Viziers of The East Pacific;
ADMIRING TNP's revolutionary endorsement trading scheme, which has aided its retention of newcomers and general regional security by increasing endorsement counts on its WA Delegate (the highest of any region) and its Security Council, while serving as a model for similar schemes within many feeders and other regions that helps lower their risk of falling to a fatal coup;
RECALLING that the North Pacific Army, once a well-connected defender military of note, was reconstituted in 2012 when feeder and sinker militaries were less prevalent; its more pragmatic outlook has since paid dividends, whether in freeing TNP's allies from their oppressors - The South Pacific from its Socialist Republic, Osiris from Gatesville, Lazarus from The Pacific, and more vulnerable allies like Stargate and (under the rule of Equilism) Warzone Europe on countless occasions - or in neutralising major threats to the multiverse such as NAZI EUROPE;
RECOGNISING that TNP has consistently endeavoured to inform its residents about affairs regional and global, via The Northern Lights and The North Star today, and the legendary North Pacific Wire previously: services that have, directly or indirectly, moulded the state of countless other such services today; and
CONCLUDING that TNP's actions at home and abroad have been so influential towards international peace and security, whilst inspiring many of the regions that have made an example of it to uphold a republican mode of governance, that it can only merit the utmost honour that anyone can possibly bestow:
HEREBY COMMENDS [region=The North Pacific].
