The World Assembly,

RECOGNIZING a civil, but nonetheless productive debate on the topic of Abortion in the World Assembly was the result of The Cat-Tribe’s resolution, the Reduction of Abortion (GA#44),

NOTING that the Reduction of Abortion (GA#44) respected national sovereignty on the issue of abortion’s legality, and made a groundbreaking compromise that as a result has permitted a comprehensive sex education to help reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies in all member-nations,

FURTHER NOTING the countless lives that GA#44 has undoubtedly bettered in (1) nations with otherwise high obstetric death rates, (2) nations where the prohibition of Abortion would have been the source of more dangerous self-induced abortions,

BEARING IN MIND that the nominee recently returned to the hallowed halls of the World Assembly to ardently counter Christian Democrats and several of its allies during a resurgence of the Abortion debate in the World Assembly. The Cat-Tribe's presence in the debate was instrumental --alongside several other actors-- in establishing a compelling case against numerous prohibitive abortion proposals and an attempted repeal of GA#128,

APPLAUDING the constructiveness that can follow when debate is abetted with the decorum, civility and thoughtful meticulousness that The Cat-Tribe has demonstrated in the World Assembly, but also in general,

IMPRESSED that The Cat-Tribe has been awarded twice (an unchallenged feat) the ‘Grand Prix for General Debating’ award in the 8th and 10th presentation of a popular award ceremony that recognizes "excellency in the Fields of General Debating",

CELEBRATING the conduct demonstrated to receive this popular recognition, which includes:
• Not accepting assertions as fact, thus requiring proper research and citation,
• Distinguishing between fact and opinion,
• Seeking to uncover assumptions, unquestioned beliefs and faulty logic,
• Distinguishing between connotative and denotative meaning.
• Being open to new ideas,
• Applying reason and logic to discussions,

ACKNOWLEDGING The Cat-Tribe's thorough willingness --in the spirit of goodwill-- to thoughtfully share their expertise in Law upon request,

UNDERSTANDING that as an exemplary model of constructive, critical, informed and civil forum and general conduct, The Cat-Tribe will help future generations of NationStates establish further resolutions of peace and goodwill,

For the sake of posterity,
HEREBY COMMENDS The Cat-Tribe.

The World Assembly,

Aware that Crazy Girl was founded in early 2003 in The Pacific; becoming involved in the region's governance, and later fighting (ultimately in vain) to free the region when it was subjected to the infamously tyrannical rule of Francos Spain,

Observing that Crazy Girl was involved in the Alliance Defense Network (ADN), the leading defender military organisation of its day; serving as Secretary of Defence, and through this role helping to protect the sovereignty of numerous regions by defending them against invasion,

Noting that Crazy Girl was a driving force behind the reorganisation of the ADN, which saw it re-branded as the 'ADN Reloaded', with new forums and a new Charter, resulting in a reduction of bureaucracy, allowing the organisation to concentrate on its primary goal of defending regions,

Perceiving that Crazy Girl was one of the three organisers of the 'puppetmaster' liberation of The North Pacific in July 2004, which was the largest successful liberation in NationStates history, freeing the region from the occupation of the New Pacific Order, and seeing it returned to the rightful control of its natives,

Recalling Crazy Girl's contributions to The Rejected Realms, which include:
• Constructing and maintaining their current forums, to aid communication between members, and organisation of the regional government,
• Defending with, and leading, the Rejected Realms Army -- a military that helps to defend vulnerable regions from the threat of invasion,
• Maintaining the security of the region by successfully keeping Kandarin -- the recipient of a WA Commendation (SCR #2), in the position of delegate - despite the delegate being unable to eject or ban nations from the region,

Recognising that following control of Kandarin being ceded to Naivetry, Crazy Girl played a critical role in the transition, ensuring stability, and protecting the interests of residents of the region by facilitating the holding of an election to allow them to decide on the regional delegate,

Believing that Crazy Girl has had a major impact on the improvement of NationStates, by giving insightful feedback on suggested changes to the structure of the global environment, and by providing helpful advice to fledgling nations seeking to involve themselves within international affairs,

Acknowledging Crazy Girl's more irreverent contributions to NationStates, including petitioning the World Assembly to change its misogynistic categorisation of nations as 'Father Knows Best States' by allowing Matriarchies and Queendoms to be recognised as 'Mother Knows Best States',

Concluding that through these diverse and multitudinous contributions, Crazy Girl has made the world a more peaceful and enjoyable place, and that these actions are more than worthy of recognition through a World Assembly Commendation,

Hereby Commends Crazy Girl.

The World Assembly,

Aware that Northern Chittowa has been a key member of the Global Right Alliance, responsibly administrating their forums, and helping to keep the region stable, secure and active, despite the combative nature of its residents,

Recognising Northern Chittowa as an important participant in the Founderless Regions Alliance (FRA), an organisation dedicated to the protection and stabilisation of founderless regions across NationStates, through such actions as:
• Founding the alliance alongside Big killer babys and The merlion,
• Serving as Arch Chancellor of the alliance for 3 terms, comprising a total of 9 months, in the process professionalising the organisation, as well as rescuing it from the brink of death after the failure of Falconias's term as Arch Chancellor,
• Participating in the FRA Rangers, the alliance's military, for over 4 years,

Believing that Northern Chittowa has made a significant contribution to protecting the sovereignty of founderless regions through the aforementioned actions,

Observing that Northern Chittowa established the 'Defender Awards' in 2006, an annual awards system that has now been successfully running for 5 years, and has helped to unite the defender community,

Recalling that Northern Chittowa was a leading member of Lazarus for a number of years, holding a number of governmental positions, and serving as delegate for five months until June 2008,

Applauding the nominee's actions in magnanimously putting the interests of the region above prestige, by stepping down as delegate upon realising that their presence as delegate was leading to the region being targeted by invaders,

Noting that Northern Chittowa's honourable and diplomatic behaviour is acknowledged even by invaders,

Asserting that those nations that contribute to NationStates as significantly as Northern Chittowa has, whilst maintaining the respect of their peers, should be Commended,

Hereby Commends Northern Chittowa.
