[PASSED] Liberate Republicans

[Sedgistan]

General Overview, so far

The Greater German Reich planted a puppet in Republicans, which they crashed the region with shortly after. The FRA did not attempt to liberate because they were unsure if the region was being raided or if this was a native's movement for delegate. The Greater German Reich and its lead invader pretended to be benevolent natives for a while till they established a password -- since then, they have more boldly admitting to having the intention of "dominating" and "subjugating" the region as "Reichskommissariat Republikaner" of the Greater German Reich. It is unclear if this is a lie and they actually intend to destroy the region and leave it as they did with the Union of the Snake, but I think we can safely assume that the Greater German Reich is up to no good. Several refugees of the conflict are staying in Conservadom, but at-least one native is still in Republicans. They have been contacted, but none have yet to reply.

SECURITY COUNCIL

Liberate Republicans
A resolution to strike down Delegate-imposed barriers to free entry in a region
Category: Liberation | Nominee (region): Republicans | Proposed by: Unibot

The Security Council,

Having considered the following annotations:

Annot.1 § Republicans is an older region in NationStates, it was first founded at-least by May 28 2003. In March 2010, it reportedly had a had a moderately sized region (6-13 nations) including a delegate. Following the founder's cessation of existence shortly thereafter, Republicans degraded over the course of the year into a region with approximatively two natives residing in it,

Annot.2 § Borrachia moved to Republicans on Nov. 25 2010, as a "sleeper" for the Greater German Reich, which means Borrachia sat in Republicans to develop regional influence there with the intent of furthering the aims of a foreign force -- in this case, the foreign force was the Greater German Reich. On Nov. 30 2010, Maritime Cities, German Irish Bund, Wasaplol, Tinajeros and Drayerstone, crashed into the region and endorsed Borrachia. Shortly after -- with these endorsements -- Borrachia attained the position of WA Delegate in Republicans. Although at least one defender group strongly suspected this was a raid, the supposed invaders seemed to be benevolent and the natives made "no reply or confused responses" when contacted by the Founderless Region Alliance (FRA) in regards to their new delegate,

Annot.3 § Following a series of debates on Republicans' Regional Message Board (RMB), the natives concluded that the new occupants of the region, Borrachia and its entourage, "must be okay". Nonetheless, Borrachia ejected a few relatively new natives, The Freeturf, The Hut and House and Hancok from Republicans with little or no explanation as to why this action was neccessary. In response, Freeturf founded Conservadom, which has inadvertently served as a refugee haven for the victims of the Republicans invasion,

Annot.4 § On Dec. 20 2010, Borrachia had accumulated enough regional influence to impose a password on Republicans. Shortly after the imposition of the password, two natives, Ipsens Castle and Heleneslandgrant were ejected and banned from Republicans. With a password secured, the Greater German Reich was more open and frank about its intentions for the nominated region. The Greater German Reich declared that Republicans was the Reich's first "Reichskommissariat" (a territorial acquisition) and demanded that the only remaining native not resist the "dominance" and "subjugation" of the Reich over Republicans,

Annot.5 § The Greater German Reich has conducted missions like this before. The Reich raided Union of The Snake on May 11 2010. Within a few hours, a password was imposed and the invaders left, except for one of them which stayed in the region till it perished sometime between June 20 - June 26 2010. It is unclear if the Reich is lying, and intends to merely destroy the region as it did with Union of The Snake, or keep it as its "Reichskommissariat" as it claims it intends to,

Recognizing that the Greater German Reich's password abets its subjugation and perhaps destruction of Republicans which surely threatens interregional peace and goodwill, and the activity, access and amenities of said region,

Believing the Security Council has a duty to prevent the abuse of the World Assembly's administrative powers by the Greater German Reich,

Hereby Liberates Republicans.

Reichskommissariat Republikaner - Großdeutsches Reich

Zhis region has been crushed under zhe goose-stepping leather marching boots of the the Greater German Reich

Let's hail zhe brave nations of The Holy Empire of Gililandia, The Evil Empire of Chevolet,The Dictatorship of Grofazland, The Federal Republic of Der Deutsch Menschen and The Armed Republic of Selegnia for bringing zhe glory and prosperity of nationalsocialism to zhis region!

Republicans is an old region, it was first created on May 28 2003. In March of this year it had a healthy 6-13 sized region with a delegate which had since degraded into a two nation region when this happened...

The FRA reports that on Nov 30 2010,

Raider Leads: Borrachia

Raiders: Maritime Cities, German Irish Bund^☨, Wasaplol, Tinajeros, Drayerstone

Lot of nations moved in.

Borrachia has been in the region himself less than 7 days.

☨ since then the Federal Republic of German Irish Bund was ejected from the WA for rule violations on Dec. 28.

The Greater German Reich has done this before, when they raided Union of The Snake on May 11 2010. The lead was Scarsaw Outpost Bravo, with two endorsers: Geheimgesellschaft, Nudelauflauf. Within a few hours, a password was imposed and the invaders left except one of them which sat there until the region perished sometime between June 20 -- June 26 2010.

The Greater German Riech also tried to invade "National Socialist Wehrmacht" on May 14 2008, this was squashed by the FRA. Zhukovs Shock Army was the invader delegate and its endorsers were Hobbledehoys, Babilum and Iron Buddha. The Greater German Reich claimed the FRAs were supporting nazism by defending the region and called them "Nazi Lovin Facists".

Native --- TheThanksgiving Turkey (Dec. 23): Um, honorable delegate: why the password in our region?

Borrachia (Dec. 23): To protect zhe region from communists and liberals. If you're happy here you can stay as long as you want, as it seems you are zhe only participating member.

Native (Dec. 27): Um, Borrachia - the Republican way is to use your endorsements and eject any commies or liberals you don't like. Keeping Republicans locked up will strangle the region of Republicans

Leather-Masked Germany (Dec. 31) : I have come to inspect zhe subjugation of zhis region, vhich has received zhe honour of becoming Our first Reichskommissariat ^☨. Do not attempt resist Our dominance, The Disputed Territories of TheThanksgiving Turkey!

☨ Reichskommissariat
A `Reichskommissariat` or Reich Commission was an administration for occupied territories held by Nazi Germany in World War II led by a Nazi Party official known as a Reichskommissar. These entities were German governed and intended for eventual colonization and integration with Germany. Examples include: * Reichskommissariat Kaukasus * Reichskommissariat Moskau * Reichskommissariat Niederlande * Reichskommissariat Norwegen * Reichskommissariat Ostland*

Important (or otherwise, just recorded) Times

• Nov. 24-25 2010, Borrachia moves to Republicans.
• Nov. 30 2010, Maritime Cities, German Irish Bund☨, Wasaplol, Tinajeros, Drayerstone crash Republicans and support Borrachia.
• Dec. 8 2010, the Hut and the House joins the region.
• Dec. 17 2010, I suspect that sometime around this day, Britania and Freeturf were ejected and banned from Republicans. They created their own region, Conservadom.
• Dec. 20 2010 -- 18 GMT, Borrachia puts up a password. (Suspected Time)
• Dec. 20 2010 -- 20 GMT, Borrachia ejects the Hut and the House. (Questionable Time)
• Dec. 20 2010 -- 20 GMT, Borrachia bans Hancok.^☨ (Questionable Time)
• Dec. 21 2010 -- 18 GMT, Borrachia bans the Hut and the House. (Questionable Time)
• Dec. 26 2010, the Hut and House moves to Conservadom.
• Dec. 26 2010, Leather-Masked Germany moves to Republicans, later claims to be the inspector of the region's subjugation.

☨ I asked Hancok what he knew about the situation in Republicans, he replied "No i have no idea i went their and stayed their for a little bit and i went on one time and i was banjected."

[Wopruthien]

Slightly bit more info, when i noticed it there was a debate on the RMB with about 5 natives I forget which now who were debating if they had been invaded. I messaged all of the active natives as I strongly suspected it was an invasion if they'd like our (FRA) support to which i received no reply or confused responses so i left it. The natives who didn't reply then posted on the RMB that they guessed the new delegate must be okay and it gave new people to talk to so i left it be.

Seems now however the region is definitely in need of protection and the natives have become aware of the serious threat to their community.

Leather-Gloved Germany has something to say..

AAACHTUNG!
HEIL HITLER!

Ve do not vish to destroy Republicans. Ve vill settle zhe land, exploit its resources and use its remaining population for forced labor.
Ve never invaded a region named Union of The Snake. Correct your error immediately, SCHNELL!

Both the raiders and the region Republicans are anti-communist, so we have absolutely no sympathy for them.

We will vote against this resolution if it is submitted.

[Hancok]

We were a peaceful native and got banjected we fully support the liberation,

[Mahaj WA Seat]

FOR.

[Britarvia]

I was also a native of the Republicans and i am extremely mad for what the German Reich has done to the Republicans. I fully support the Liberation.

[Frattastan]

We will vote against this resolution if it is submitted.

Voting against will effectively protect the interests of a Nazi invader region that could threaten the safety of workers' region in the same way.
It's not a matter of sympathy. You should vote for to counter the activities of those who invade regions and destroy communities in the name of imperialism (while Republicans are far less a threat to you, despite ideological differences).

[Kalibarr]

Are they seriously nazis or are they just trying to enforce an anti-german stereotype?

seriously I haven't met a german who pronounces a "z" in front of every other word.

And is the region republicans referring to the american political party or is it referring to the broad term for anti-monarchists?


okay, a little off topic back to the proposal...

The natives seem to support this proposal, unless new evidence is brought up it has my support.

[Britarvia]

The Region was meant to be about the American Political Party

[Topid]

I will vote for the proposal. And personally think it is great.

Unless, I win my region's delegate election, then I will have to vote the way my region-mates do. And, seeing as C-W-R was the founder before he was deleted (I believe I filed the GHR myself...) and he is to this date the worst person I've met on NS... I believe most of my region-mates will hold the region responsible for the founders actions.

I haven't actually been watching the region to know if CWR had much involvement there before DEAT, and thus I have no idea if they even knew of his problems. But even if they did, I'm not one to doom a region to death because of the actions of one nut...

Just pre-warning people, since my vote against a liberation might be viewed as odd. And, if this proposal was submitted soon the election might not even be over yet when the voting happened... So I might not have to do it at all (hopes).

[Kylarnatia]

I've looked up on this:

OOC'ly I find his accent amusing

IC'ly I find it annoying and the invasion a complete act of ****.

Kylarnatia shall be FOR this resolution.

[TheThanksgiving Turkey]

Thank you Unibot for drafting this liberation resolution. It is well-written and reflects accurately my understanding of the invasion history since the arrival of invader delegate Borrachia.

As the apparent last native of Republicans, I believe it will be only a matter of time before my nation faces ejection.

I am not sure how else to work this in, but at least one of the original endorsers of Borrachia was found to be a WA multi -- and their WA status was stripped from them. Perhaps NS moderation can comment about several other nations which carried out this invasion -- whom to my knowledge (according to comments they themselves posted on the RMB of The Greater German Reich) also were WA multies -- but were given a warning to resolve their multi-WA status to conform with NS rules. Just note that in making these comments I have been very appreciative for whatever actions NS Moderation has made (which have also included to my knowledge removing a swastika from a flag of one of the raiders) -- and I will not pretend to have all the information on if/why some other endorsers of Borrachia were allowed to keep their WA status after apparently having multiple WA nations.

Thank you again for this resolution. I support it.

Thank you, Turkey. Your opinion is much appreciated.

Thought that I would post the following message currently on Republicans RMB to underscore the current delegate's subversion of the region:

hmm... ejecting the second longest nation in the region (The Republic of Heleneslandgrant) and post links tto nazi websites is grriefing, flamebaiting and unfit for a region named Republicans.

You want a Nazi region? Go back to where you came!

[Unibot]

Yep, I've included some of that discourse in the research that is in the spoiler of the OP.

[Tsim Sha Tsui]

The Republic of Tsim Sha Tsui fully supports this proposal, and hopes to vote for it in the near future. Anything that furthers freedom and stymies Nazis is good in our book.

[Unibot]

I've submitted, but to fit under the word count I had to remove Article Five. ---> “Liberate Republicans”.

[Kulaloe]

In favour.

[Cairuland]

Leather-Gloved Germany has something to say..

Both the raiders and the region Republicans are anti-communist, so we have absolutely no sympathy for them.

We will vote against this resolution if it is submitted.

This is not ideological! This is actual justice! Please put aside your ideological pursuits, comrade, and please see that the German Reich has no right to invade this region.

[Super fluffy]

I'm Super Fluffy and I approve this draft.

[Zoerb]

Clive Roskovski strode into the chamber and checked over the proposal and debate record. "While we have little love for arch conservitives, this delegation nonetheless stands against cowardly barriors being used to hold regions. Therefore, we fully support this measure."

[Sedgistan]

I don't particularly like the 'sponsored by' clause at the end. I'm aware it's been done before (Liberate Greece), so I'm not going to say it's illegal. However, in future, if you want to state that natives support a proposal, it should ideally be done during the pre-ambulatory clauses, not after the operative clause. Otherwise, we'll have people branding their proposals with a list of supporters, which isn't really appropriate for a document passed by the World Assembly.

[The Associated Peoples]

After going and reading Republicans RMB I see that this is clearly an act of aggression and this liberation has my full support.

[Xanthal]

In considering the merits of Liberation proposals, the Xanthalian delegation regards the politics of both invader and invaded as wholly irrelevant. Paramount is the integrity and independence of regions and their inhabitants. If there is any ambiguity among natives as to whether Liberation is needed, we prefer to err on the side of openness, if only to prevent any one faction from permanently seizing control.
