[PASSED] Commend The Western Isles

Postby Greater Cesnica » Mon Nov 30, 2020 9:08 am

The Security Council,

Noting that The Western Isles (TWI) has for over five years fostered a vibrant, thriving community of nations with immense participation in the realms of diplomacy, trade relations, collaborative unions, and the proliferation of mass media;

Applauding the welcoming attitude that new nations are introduced to upon entering TWI, as demonstrated by:

  • The numerous well-written guides for nations to build and maintain (for example) thriving economies, militaries, and foreign relations networks,
  • An active, well-equipped system of regional mentors to assist nations in their rise to prosperity, and
  • The existence of the International District, a neutral and open forum for nations and regional representatives to discuss international relations, seek and give advice on nationbuilding, and introduce new nations to TWI's diplomatic scene;
Hailing TWI's diplomatic spirit as demonstrated by the formation of these notable regional socioeconomic unions and alliances:

  • The League, a complementary intraregional organ to the World Assembly that aims to maintain regional peace and stability, and to facilitate international relations, alliances, as well as policy-guiding treaties and initiatives,
  • The Cooperative Union (CU), a political and economic union intended to promote socioeconomic stability which is also TWI's largest economic bloc,
  • The Regional Trade and Economic Agreement (RTEA), which aims to provide a credible forum for member nations to negotiate matters pertaining to all aspects of their respective economies and trade affairs, as well as to collectively strengthen their economies, and
  • The Eterna-Argean Friendship Accords (EAFA), a cooperative agreement between the nations within and bordering the Eterna and Argean Seas that seeks to foster a sense of camaraderie and mutual trust, as well as to establish protocols for shared jurisdiction over their respective Seas;
Saluting the formation of these notable defense organizations and forces as a means to guarantee regional security:

  • The Mesder Sea Treaty Organization (MSTO), an intergovernmental military alliance which has fostered immense technological advancement and wielded much political influence within TWI,
  • The Coalition of Free Nations (COFN), an intergovernmental military and socioeconomic pact which has fostered peace, stability, and development within TWI,
  • The Argean Rapid Response Force (ARRF), a rapid engagement military force comprised of specialized units from the nations of Vancouvia, Noronica, and Ostehaar that aims to respond swiftly to threats and hostile maneuvering in the age of modern warfare, and
  • The Raedlon Organization of States (ROS), a military and socioeconomic alliance of nations within the Raedlon peninsula intended to provide mutual defense and foster economic relations and stability between member states;
Impressed by the exceptionally high prevalence and influence of these intraregional organizations within TWI, a region of just under 170 nations;

Cognizant of TWI's collective resolve in pursuing peace after the intraregional Second Imperial War, an accomplishment made all the more remarkable by the significant ideological divide between the Eastern Union of Socialist Republics (EUSR) and the MSTO, the two warring parties;

Praising TWI for their initiative, vision, and leadership in hosting the Western Isles Climate Response Council, a non-partisan intergovernmental organization which aims to perform research on alternative energy production sources and help nations respond to climate change;

Admiring TWI's dedication to disseminating journalism on a global scale via The Western Isles News, a non-profit media news cooperative that aggregates articles from newspapers across the region and distributes them to a large audience both within and beyond TWI;

Appreciating TWI's commitment to promoting the creative arts with the Citizens of The Isles, a creative writing publisher sponsored and maintained by a decentralized cooperative of TWI residents;

Hopeful that this resolution will encourage other regions to emulate the distinguished, honorable example The Western Isles has forged;

Hereby commends The Western Isles.

It's a pleasant read (and I understand it's still an early draft and you're doing further research), but this draft doesn't really convince me that the region is commendable. Also, please be consistent with commas/semicolons.

Greater Cesnica wrote:Noting that The Western Isles has for over five years fostered a vibrant, thriving community of nations,

Decent preambulatory stuff.

Greater Cesnica wrote:Observing that The Western Isles is among the most active regions in NationStates,

Okay, but what makes activity special on its own?

Greater Cesnica wrote:Acclaiming The Western Isles for attaining a regional record of 834 constituent nations on November 2, 2016, making it the fourth largest region outside of feeder and sinker regions at the time;

Again, I'm not seeing what makes having a lot of nations commendable. This is filler.

Greater Cesnica wrote:Celebrating The Western Isles' steadfast commitment to the principles of democracy, equality, and liberty;

Same as above. Your preamble could probably be cut down a clause or two in general.

Greater Cesnica wrote:Extols the significance of The Western Isles' Constitution enacting checks and balances on its government's power and authority;

Could use elaboration.

Greater Cesnica wrote:Stirred by The Western Isles' encouragement of private and decentralized initiatives to foster the region's continued growth and prosperity;

How have they encouraged initiatives? What initiatives were encouraged?

Greater Cesnica wrote:Saluting The Western Isles' resolute adherence to the virtues of diplomacy and international cooperation as observed by the formation of these twelve intraregional agreements, alliances, and treaties:

  • The League, an intraregional organization that aims to maintain intraregional peace and stability, act as a forum from which to facilitate international relations, alliances, and as a means to facilitate policy-guiding treaties and initiatives,
  • The Mesder Sea Treaty Organization (MSTO), an intergovernmental military alliance which has fostered immense technological advancement and political influence within The Western Isles,
  • The Coalition of Free Nations (COFN), an intergovernmental military and socioeconomic pact which has fostered peace, stability, and human development growth within The Western Isles,
  • The Cooperative Union (CU), a political and economic union intended to promote socioeconomic stability that collectively comprises the largest economic bloc within The Western Isles,
  • The Coalition of Six (C6), a military alliance intended to uphold the security and stability of the Cooperative Union,

  • The Regional Trade and Economic Agreement (RTEA), an international economic agreement that aims to provide a credible forum for constituent nations to negotiate matters pertaining to all aspects of their respective economies and trade affairs, as well as to collectively strengthen the economies of its constituent nations,
  • The Global Experimental Thermo-Nuclear Reactor Project (GETR), an intraregional scientific research alliance pertaining to the development, implementation, and continuation of the usage of nuclear fusion reactors as a viable energy production source,
  • The Argean Rapid Response Force (ARRF), a rapid engagement military force comprised of specialized units from the nations of Vancouvia, Noronica, and Ostehaar that aims to provide a means of swiftly respond to threats and hostile maneuvering in the age of modern warfare,
  • The Joint Emergency Response Force (JERF), a Noronica-led, multinational military response force intended to coordinate an effective and rapid response to unfolding emergencies and humanitarian crises across The Western Isles, and
  • The Eterna-Argean Friendship Accords (EAFA), a cooperative agreement between the nations within and bordering the Eterna and Argean Seas that seeks to foster a sense of camaraderie and mutual trust, as well as establishing protocols for shared jurisdiction over their respective Seas;

Having lots of diplomatic ties takes work, sure. But I'm not convinced that maintaining these ties makes a region commendable.

Greater Cesnica wrote:Praising the welcoming, compassionate embrace that new nations receive upon entering The Western Isles;

I'm not sure what this is referring to.

Greater Cesnica wrote:Admiring The Western Isles' dedication to facilitating the flourishing of the creative arts, as seen in the numerous literary engagements and forums hosted and sponsored by the region;

This sounds interesting. I suggest elaborating.

Greater Cesnica wrote:Pleased by The Western Isles' collective fostering of both intraregional and interregional trade and freedom of movement between its constituent nations, irrespective of existing agreements and alliances;

Pure filler.

Greater Cesnica wrote:Applauding the frequent elections and referendums The Western Isles carries out over all manners of administrative and political decisions, a reflection on the importance the region gives to the value of a democratic system of governance;

I think this could also warrant elaboration; what makes these elections special? Lots of regions have elections.

Greater Cesnica wrote:Hoping that this resolution encourages other regions to emulate the distinguished, honorable example The Western Isles has forged;

Again, the writing is technically sound. It just needs more research and more meat. Assuming the region is in fact commendable, you should be able to cut down on a lot of filler once you find proper ammunition.

I think a lot of the clauses are thin on detail, e.g.

"Stirred by The Western Isles' encouragement of private and decentralized initiatives to foster the region's continued growth and prosperity;"

How have they done this?

"Praising the welcoming, compassionate embrace that new nations receive upon entering The Western Isles;"

In what way? If it's just sending a welcome telegram, then that's not much.

The Saluting phrase is way too long and reads like a laundry list, and just seems like padding. Use the words from here to flesh out the other clauses.

There is also too much repetition -- democracy is mentioned towards the start and end, the mention of "fostering of both intraregional and interregional trade and freedom of movement" is pretty similar to the saluting clause despite "irrespective of existing agreements and alliances", etc.

I by no means dislike this resolution and, as a long time member of TWI, I appreciate the recognition of our hard work. However, as a long time NSer as well as region member of TWI, I don't see why we need or deserve commendation from the World Assembly. All of our accomplishments are RP accomplishments and, while they are nice, they don't have an affect on the world as a whole. Our elections are good, but not good enough to warrant a commendation among the likes of XKI and other famous defender regions. On top of that, we have been strictly isolationist. While we take many embassies, the World Assembly should not recognize isolationist regions when the commending all comes down to the gameplay aspect.


Thank you for your consideration, though :)

I was asked to provide more feedback as edits were made to this draft:

Greater Cesnica wrote:
The Security Council,

Noting that The Western Isles has for over five years fostered a vibrant, thriving community of nations,

Celebrating The Western Isles' steadfast commitment to the principles of democracy, equality, and liberty;

Extols the significance of The Western Isles' Constitution enacting checks and balances on its regional government's power and authority;


I believe you're over the character limit. These clauses are fluff. As such, I would suggest removing them. Existing for over 5 years, fostering a vibrant/thriving community, being democratic, and having checks and balances are not intrinsically commendable. Many regions have these so unless TWI is an extraordinary example, I don't believe they should be included. That being said, you could use some sort of an opening.

Saluting the formation of these defense organizations and forces as a means to ensure regional stability and peace:

  • The Mesder Sea Treaty Organization (MSTO), an intergovernmental military alliance which has fostered immense technological advancement and political influence within The Western Isles,
  • The Coalition of Free Nations (COFN), an intergovernmental military and socioeconomic pact which has fostered peace, stability, and human development growth within The Western Isles,
  • The Coalition of Six (C6), a military alliance intended to uphold the security and stability of the Cooperative Union socioeconomic union,
  • The Argean Rapid Response Force (ARRF), a rapid engagement military force comprised of specialized units from the nations of Vancouvia, Noronica, and Ostehaar that aims to provide a means of swiftly respond to threats and hostile maneuvering in the age of modern warfare,
  • The Joint Emergency Response Force (JERF), a Noronica-led, multinational military response force intended to coordinate an effective and rapid response to unfolding emergencies and humanitarian crises across The Western Isles, and
  • The Raedlon Organization of States (ROS), a military and socioeconomic alliance of nations located on the Raedlon peninsula intended to provide mutual defense and foster economic relations and stability between member states;
This is all roleplay I presume so I can't really comment on the merit. However, I do somewhat question how this merits international recognition?

Hailing The Western Isles' diplomatic spirit as demonstrated by the formation of these socioeconomic unions and alliances:

  • The League, an intraregional organization serving as a complementary regional organ to the World Assembly that aims to maintain regional peace and stability, act as a forum from which to facilitate international relations, alliances, and as a means to facilitate policy-guiding treaties and initiatives,
  • The Cooperative Union (CU), a political and economic union intended to promote socioeconomic stability that collectively comprises the largest economic bloc within The Western Isles,
  • The Gael-Four (G4), a union of four nations located on the Gael peninsula that has fostered freedom of trade and movement between its constitutent nations,
  • The Association of Luso-Hispanic Nations (ALHN), an international organization comprised of nations with a common lusophone and hispanic culture that seeks to maintain their shared cultural heritage and engage in socioeconomic development and cooperation,
  • The Regional Trade and Economic Agreement (RTEA), an international economic union that aims to provide a credible forum for constituent nations to negotiate matters pertaining to all aspects of their respective economies and trade affairs, as well as to collectively strengthen the economies of its constituent nations, and
  • The Eterna-Argean Friendship Accords (EAFA), a cooperative agreement between the nations within and bordering the Eterna and Argean Seas that seeks to foster a sense of camaraderie and mutual trust, as well as establishing protocols for shared jurisdiction over their respective Seas;
Again, same comments as above I think. I do think that the diplomatic part above could specify that this is amongst nations in the region, not interregional. You do specify it later but I think putting it in the lead in clause makes sense.

Praising The Western Isles' for their initiative, vision, and leadership in fostering the formation of the Global Experimental Thermo-Nuclear Reactor Project (GETR), an intraregional scientific research alliance pertaining to the development, implementation, and continuation of the usage of nuclear fusion reactors as a viable energy production source, and the Western Isles Climate Response Council, a non-partisan intergovernmental organization which aims to perform research on alternative energy production sources and assist nations with their response to climate change;
Looks good but again, it's about RP so not my best area. :P

Admiring The Western Isles' dedication to facilitating the distribution of news media on a global scale with the non-profit news media cooperative The Western Isles News, an organization that aggregates news articles from all across the region and distributes them en masse;
Is this roleplay or regionbuilding? If it's the latter, I'm not quite sure how it's Commendable.

Appreciating The Western Isles' commitment to fostering the creative arts and their international distribution, as seen with the Citizens of The Isles, a narrative publishing domain sponsored and maintained by a decentralized cooperative of nations from The Western Isles;

I don't really understand what this means—I understand the words but am having trouble deciphering the meaning.
Applauding the frequent elections and referendums The Western Isles carries out over all manners of administrative and political decisions, a reflection on the importance the region gives to the value of a democratic system of governance;

What about these elections is so great that TWI deserves to be Commended? Many regions have elections/referendums.
Hoping that this resolution encourages other regions to emulate the distinguished, honorable example The Western Isles has forged;

Hereby commends The Western Isles.


I think this draft is an improvement. However, what you're missing is on the region-building aspects is convincing me that their activities that they do are so good that they are Commendable. Also, extraneous space between the and distinguished.

You've cleaned up your draft a lot, and it looks much better, however, the achievements you've listed do not make a region commendable. I'm not sure whether all the agreements are roleplay or gameplay, but most sizable regions have a large number of both, certainly applied to a single nation they might be deserving of a commendation, but I do not see it as impressive of a region.

I added a clause in the newest iteration touching upon why the existence of these organizations is commendable, mainly their proportionally high existence. There is a very high proportional representation and prevalence of these organizations and unions for a region of 158 nations.

Still reads like a load of filler to me. Nothing really commendable that I can see. Will not support.

Alright, I guess we differ on the commendable nature of internal regionbuilding and RP accomplishments overall.

I agree. Leave it up a bit longer; there's no rush.

It's a trait of this author to constantly rush proposals to submission, so no surprises here. But yeah wait three weeks tops for this

None of this makes much of an impression. In what ways has TWI fostered a vibrant, thriving community? How do they show their steadfast commitment to the principles of democracy, equality, and liberty? I'm not really sure what the Impressed line is supposed to tell me, but as I far as I can tell it's filler like the other two. Either cut these, expand upon them, or integrate them into other clauses. As is they aren't adding anything.

Hailing The Western Isles' diplomatic spirit as demonstrated by the formation of these selected notable regional socioeconomic unions and alliances:

  • The League, an intraregional organization serving as a complementary regional organ to the World Assembly that aims to maintain regional peace and stability, act as a forum from which to facilitate international relations, alliances, and as a means to facilitate policy-guiding treaties and initiatives,
  • The Cooperative Union (CU), a political and economic union intended to promote socioeconomic stability that collectively comprises the largest economic bloc within The Western Isles,
  • The Regional Trade and Economic Agreement (RTEA), an international economic union that aims to provide a credible forum for constituent nations to negotiate matters pertaining to all aspects of their respective economies and trade affairs, as well as to collectively strengthen the economies of its constituent nations, and
  • The Eterna-Argean Friendship Accords (EAFA), a cooperative agreement between the nations within and bordering the Eterna and Argean Seas that seeks to foster a sense of camaraderie and mutual trust, as well as establishing protocols for shared jurisdiction over their respective Seas;

Saluting the formation of these selected notable defense organizations and forces as a means to ensure regional stability and peace:

  • The Mesder Sea Treaty Organization (MSTO), an intergovernmental military alliance which has fostered immense technological advancement and political influence within The Western Isles,
  • The Coalition of Free Nations (COFN), an intergovernmental military and socioeconomic pact which has fostered peace, stability, and human development growth within The Western Isles,
  • The Argean Rapid Response Force (ARRF), a rapid engagement military force comprised of specialized units from the nations of Vancouvia, Noronica, and Ostehaar that aims to provide a means of swiftly respond to threats and hostile maneuvering in the age of modern warfare,
  • The Raedlon Organization of States (ROS), a military and socioeconomic alliance of nations located on the Raedlon peninsula intended to provide mutual defense and foster economic relations and stability between member states;

Praising The Western Isles' for their initiative, vision, and leadership in fostering the formation of the Global Experimental Thermo-Nuclear Reactor Project (GETR), an intraregional scientific research alliance that aims to establish nuclear fusion reactors as a viable energy source, and the Western Isles Climate Response Council, a non-partisan intergovernmental organization which aims to perform research on alternative energy production sources and assist nations with their response to climate change;

These are an interesting bunch of intraregional groups, but nothing about them makes me think TWI is commendable. This roleplay is all well and good, but you're gonna need to give some justification for it being deserving of commendation.

Admiring The Western Isles' dedication to facilitating the distribution of news media on a global scale with the non-profit news media cooperative The Western Isles News, an organization that aggregates news articles from all across the region and distributes them en masse;

I've never heard of the Western Isles News, so I'm going to assume it's intraregional as well. It's up for debate how commendable NS journalism is (I'd say it certainly can be in some cases), but I'm fairly firmly of the belief that for it to be commendable, it needs to have some impact. And, well, it's hard to see how a purely intraregional news organization can have much of an impact, though it does seem as though might TWI have a lot more internal politics than most regions. If this is so, then make it clear, and cite examples of its impact. Otherwise, this doesn't seem commendable.

Appreciating The Western Isles' commitment to fostering the creative arts and their international distribution, as seen with the Citizens of The Isles, a literary narrative publisher sponsored and maintained by a decentralized cooperative of nations from The Western Isles;

The same as above, to a fair degree. Is the Citizens of The Isles an RP thing or just fiction writing? Either way, nothing here makes me think it's commendable.

Overall, TWI sounds like a nice and interesting region, but I'm not at all convinced its commendable. Also, I have no idea why this last call, it's been up less than a week. There's no reason to rush so much.

I'm trying to set a precedent for an RP commend of a region.
