I've seen small delegates that approve Condemn Kuriko and Commend Kuriko in the same day.

Christus Imperat received a distressingly dramatic telegram from
The Sportsbook CEO of Davelands contained in the bottom of this message.

Christus Imperat votes AGAINST. Please reject such proposals from even being considered in the future.

IF YOU DO JUST ONE THING IN YOUR NATIONSTATES CAREER, PLEASE MAKE IT THIS

We have a proposal up in the Security Council which is fundamental to the life of NationStates!
For far too long we have had Nations Creating Regions For SC Proposals. This abhorrent practice must be stopped at all costs!
No longer should we be subjected to bad puns and made up regions in the very important work of Commendations and Condemnations!

FOR ALL THAT IS GOOD AND HOLY IN THE UNIVERSE, PLEASE, PLEASE APPROVE Nations Creating Regions For SC Props


Ironically, Condemning is an SC proposal, making this a self-fulfilling prophesy and annoying waste of time.

No, they're referring to things like creating a region named "The WA Elite" so you can condemn the WA Elite in effigy.

That’s what I want to know, how the hell did this atrocity of legislation get shoved onto my desk?

Let the shredder tell you what I think and how I’m voting.

That's a good sentiment if the SC was a comedy venue, but it's supposed to be at least semi-serious outside of April Fools tomfoolery.

Well, I think it's pretty clear how this one is going to go. Even if this one is a fun, meta rejection of the phenomenon itself, it needs to be nipped in the bud.

Its not as if this *ahem* august body *giggle* does anything of real importance anyway. So what if somebody wants to create a nation or region just to get a shiny badge? Probally keeps the l'il bugger from going out and spray painting tags on subway cars or walls. So unless y'all can offer me a substantial reason to vote for this, and by substantial I mean a large cash bribe, I'll be voting against. *places large empty gallon Fine Yeldan Pickles(TM) jar on desk* See y'all in the funny papers.

What exactly is it then? It's a game. Nothing done here in the Security Council affects real life in any way.

After more observation of the *cough* fine and upright *guffaw* *mutters under breath "Keep it together Senator!"*ambassadors opposing this legeslation, I have had a change of heart and have decided to support this legislation. The vitriol and venom involved warms the very cockles of my heart, thus once again proving all men are equally contemptable. You'd think the author was advocating drop kicking puppies. Don't mind my giggles at y'alls expense, I'm quite enjoying myself.

Supporting this proposal is as ridiculous as using a video screen to take appearance at a world meeting! It is a mockery of this system and should be held as an illegal proposal. April Fools or not, I don't want any more corrupt or idiotic proposals passed or supported, and this proposal seems to fit perfectly. Any support of this, supports the idea that the SC is not taken serious and could lead to regions no longer acting within accordance with it, either by increasing raids, corruptness, or other unsavory things. Senator i'd advise you rethink your decision....and the Wild Turkey. The Ambassador sat back down, barely noticable through the electronic screen.
