[PASSED] Commend The Rejected Realms

[Danzig and Pomerania]

Am I the only one thinking that the Rejected Realms needed a commendation ages before this proposal?

[Improper Classifications]

Am I the only one thinking that the Rejected Realms needed a commendation ages before this proposal?

Given that West has been working on this for two years I'm going to guess no.

[Honeydewistania]

Opposed to any C/C of admin-created regions. Being gifted favorable conditions does not make a region worthy of SC recognition, quite the opposite in fact.

Agreed.

[The North Polish Union]

Opposed to any C/C of admin-created regions. Being gifted favorable conditions does not make a region worthy of SC recognition, quite the opposite in fact.

What happens when frontiers are up for commendation in the future?

Individual frontiers currently get a pittance of new foundings. They cannot said to be structurally-favored in the same way that the non-warzone ACRs are.

Building an artificial forum 'community' around a 'region' that admin is trying its hardest to force to be successful is not commendable, and its difficult to think of an ACR that surpasses TRR in its forum community's detachment from the actual region.

Security Council: Commend the Rejected Realms (region), by Westinor

Recommendation: FOR

Rationale: What about the Rejected Realms comes to mind first? Do you think of the ongoing espionage scandal involving Europeia's President? Do you dream about twenty years of heritage, defenderdom, barbequed nosh and unfettered internationalism? Or are you just aware that "Nations expelled from other regions gather here?" Westinor - who has the gift of loquaciousness but, like the rest of us, lacks prophetic foresight - goes for option two here.

The most obvious place to start is the beginning. TRR under Kandarin was domestically quiet for want of trying (ask Todd McCloud), but an avowedly global military leader. Its Army was never an arm of the government as it has been in so many other regions - yet it was still a bulwark of the Alliance Defence Network, the Founderless Regions Alliance and Libcord, the three great defender unions that our collective history recalls.

TRR under Naivetry would be a completely different, more developed proposition. Under their rule did we get the first inklings of the rule of law, democracy through challenges and strong institutions. The region has reinvented itself multiple times and agreed multiple landmark treaties, but the rule of law remains. Regular elections were introduced for officers in April 2017 and the delegate by June 2018, but the principle of the challenge remains. New, regular and diverse events - and structures - have been rolled out in recent years too, but the old institutions remain. The regional headquarters heaves with bookshelves for this very reason.

There is little that can be said about TRR that Westinor has not said here. On the balance, what has been left unsaid would be overwhelmingly positive, too. We can support and await this Commendation with great pride.

This resolution will be at vote between the minor updates of June 9th 2023 and June 13th 2023.

[The Unified Missourtama States]

One of the best ones to come out recently.

I disagree with this write up, so I will not be supporting Commend TRR.

[Cathamye]

Full, utter support. TRR has needed a commend for years, and the only reason we don't have one already is because the bias against GCR's.

Out of curiosity, why is there a bias against game created regions? Do people not like them as much as other regions?

There isn't a bias against the regions per say, but there is one against C/C's for them because some people claim that they have an "inherent advantage" and that it "isn't fair". Will be interesting to see if the same will apply for frontier Commends a few years down the line.

[Anti Winx]

I'll support it

Commending/condemning ACRs is essentially the same as C/Cing Max Barry or any member of the mod/admin team. Sure you can twist yourself into knots to make it legal but there's no point and its not the point of the SC.

Additionally, ACRs don't have to work to grow their community. They get it gifted to them by the game mechanics. How is that commendable? This objection also applies to frontiers, I see no reason to in the future start dishing out badges like candy the way we currently do for ACRs because "wow game give many nations, much successful region"

An embarrasing resolution all around, and one that I hope can be swiftly repealed and forgotten.

[Fachumonn]

West has finally done the impossible. Commending the Rejected Realms. We finally have proof you are superhuman.
