The World Assembly,

DEDICATED to international peace, goodwill and harmony between nations,

ACKNOWLEDGING Der fuhrer dyszel (known to the international community as The Dictatorship) as a nation that has been engaged in unceasing, brutal war for the entire duration of recorded history,

ALARMED at the total lack of personal and political freedoms in The Dictatorship, up to and including a standing prohibition on all actions, possessions or thoughts not related to guns,

DISTURBED at the complete disregard for human life exercised by The Dictatorship at all levels, including, but not limited to:

* Subjugation of all outlying nations to the whims of an all-consuming, malevolent and wildly unpredictable A.I.,
* Release of the crippling nerve agent XGN at an international peace conference and elsewhere,
* A policy of forced exile and prohibition of all civilians from the entire nation on penalty of death,
* Complete disregard for all laws and customs of war,
* Support for the many wars and atrocities of the Global Dominion of Dictatorships Against Democracy (GDODAD),
* Use of prisoners of war as test subjects for experimental weapons and chemicals,
* And giving away nuclear weapons to impressionable new nations to encourage them to go to war,

DISMAYED at the fact that the environment of The Dictatorship has been allowed to degrade into a hellish wasteland incapable of sustaining human life beyond a few scattered special forces,

CONCLUDING that The Dictatorship makes the world a far grimmer, bleaker, darker world simply by existing,

CONDEMNS Der fuhrer dyszel.

Security Council Resolution #19 “Commend Antarctic Oasis” shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

THE SECURITY COUNCIL:

HOLDS the power to bestow commendations upon any nation or region which is deemed worthy of the distinction.

EXPECTS that nations and regions so recognized will behave in a manner that brings further honor and respect upon the nation or region in question, as well as the World Assembly as a whole.

NOTES with dismay that Antarctic Oasis has not always acted in such a way and that some of their more unsavory acts were inadvertently overlooked when their commendation was originally considered.

RECOGNIZES that this region's practice of "creative compliance" crossed a threshold of permissibility following the passage of GA#102, International Criminal Court, upon which region members expressed open defiance toward such a court and their intent to "shoot on sight" any and all WA compliance gnomes tasked with enforcing the resolution.

RECALLS that region members rejoiced in the passage of a home-grown resolution, GA#76, Standardised Passport Act, which created an agency contentiously named the GESTAPO.

OBSERVES that WA ambassadors from Antarctic Oasis often spend their time in wholly unproductive ways, including but not limited to drunken, disorderly, and often lewd and obscene conduct; ignoring serious debate in favor of childish food fights; defenestrating ambassadors with whom they disagree; and, on separate occasions, both flooding and suicide-bombing the Security Council.

DENOUNCES the frequency with which representatives from Antarctic Oasis promote sexist attitudes and the objectification of women, particularly with regards to the honorable ambassador for Thessadoria.

DOCUMENTS the alarming fact that members of Antarctic Oasis publicly flaunt their dissolute lifestyles within the World Assembly, which in turn tempts more virtuous nations to migrate from their original, upstanding regions to join in such debauched behavior.

BELIEVES that any region which engages in such inappropriate actions with regards to World Assembly legislation, governance, and enforcement is unworthy of a commendation.

REPEALS SC#19, Commend Antarctic Oasis.

The Security Council,

INDENTIFYING Durkadurkiranistan ii as an impeding force on the Democratic Process and a Threat to the stability of The North Pacific

DISGUSTED at Durkadurkiranistan II’s refusal to step down to the elected WA Delegate of The North Pacific

RECOGNIZING Flemingovia as the elected WA Delegate and Blue Wolf II as the elected Vice Delegate of The North Pacific

DENOUCING Durkadurkiranistan II’s use of slanderous lies and propaganda against the elected officials in order to maintain Power

APPALLED at Durkadurkiranistan II’s Project Purge which has ejected over 600 innocent nations from The North Pacific with the promise of many more ejections to follow

DISMAYED at the poor treatment of newly Established Nations of the world

DEEPLY CONCERNED with the negative impact Project Purge has on The North Pacific and the irreversible damage done

HEREBY CONDEMNS Durkadurkiranistan ii

The Security Council,

Recognising that Ananke II is more commonly referred to just as "Ananke",

Recalling that, in 2003, Ananke helped establish the North Pacific Army, a defender military based in the region The North Pacific and which was one of the most active and influential militaries based in one of the Pacifics,

Aware that the Alliance Defense Network (ADN) was the largest multi-regional alliance in NationStates history, and that Ananke rose to the leading position of Secretary of State within it,

Believing that, through holding this position within the ADN, Ananke assisted with the protection of numerous regions from the threat of invasion,

Applauding Ananke's role as one of the three organisers of the liberation of The North Pacific in 2004, the largest successful liberation in NationStates history, which freed the region from the tyranny of the New Pacific Order, a dictatorial regime based out of The Pacific,

Praising Ananke's continued work as a defender - first in the North Pacific Army, then in the ADN, the GLA, and, more recently, in the 10000 Islands Treaty Organisation (TITO) - which has helped to keep hundreds of regions free to rule themselves without interference from hostile foreign forces, and recognising that this is a cause that aligns with the Security Council's aim of spreading interregional peace,

Observing Ananke's tireless work within 10000 Islands, helping to turn it into one of the largest and most influential regions in NationStates through extensive recruiting efforts and the welcoming of every new nation that joins the region, and noting that this work has been a benefit shared by the wider NationStates community, as it leads to an increase in the number of nations actively engaged with their peers,

Recognising Ananke's recently completed stint as delegate of 10000 Islands, during which Ananke became the highest-endorsed delegate in several years and assisted in engaging the 10000 Islands community with the World Assembly,

Acknowledging that, as delegate of 10000 Islands, Ananke was also responsible for leading the foreign affairs mission of the region, helping to drastically increase its foreign affairs involvement, and improving diplomatic relations between 10000 Islands and other regions,

Perceiving that Ananke's work as a defender that spreads interregional peace, and as a delegate and diplomat for 10000 Islands that spreads goodwill, aligns perfectly with the Security Council's aims,

Concluding that few nations have made such a significant and beneficial contribution to NationStates as Ananke has and that this contribution should therefore be recognised through a World Assembly commendation,

Hereby Commends Ananke II.

The World Assembly,

Recognising The Skeleton Army as the self-declared "greatest raider region,"

Bowing down to their mighty leader, the Warrior Skeleton Queen of Ramazakal,

Noting that their fearless armies of the undead are renowned for conquering regions under the cover of darkness,

Aware that this is a fate that has befallen such prominent regions as Texas, The West Pacific, The Rejected Realms, and The Cuckoos Egg,

Surprised to learn that The Skeleton Army never causes harm to the regions it invades and instead prefers to mingle with the natives, steal food from their barbecues, and attempt to drink beer - with hilarious results,

Appreciating The Skeleton Army's generous supply of sticky ribs to the regions it conquers,

Acknowledging that all that The Skeleton Army requires from its defeated enemies is for them to sign the Thighbone of Surrender,

Believing that these novel and unique military tactics are far superior to the conventional varieties,

Desiring that other regions follow their example,

Thusly Commends The Skeleton Army.
