The Security Council,

Recognizing the noble goals of the natives of Eclipsis, who carved out a place in the dawn of the Frontiers for democratic nations seeking a peaceful home,

Recognizing that darkness has befallen the region at the head of an invasion of by raider forces,

Understanding that these forces are nothing more than invaders seeking to destroy a peaceful and independent community,

Asserting that so long as raiders hold the region, the values that shine bright at the heart of Eclipsis’ community lie in peril,

Knowing that legislation by this body should accompany military action in order to mitigate the damage invaders can do to the region and stymie the ease with which raiders can permanently claim control over the region,

Hoping for the quick return of Eclipsis back to its native community, so that it may continue to thrive free from occupation or harm,

Hereby Liberates Eclipsis

Security Council Resolution #500 “Injunct Realm of the Whispering Winds” shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Understanding that throughout the ever growing ocean, few ships have suffered as much devastation as the Realm of the Whispering Winds, hereby referred to as “the Realm”,

Recounting the story of the Realm as one filled with joyous plunder, yet marked by the tragic disappearance of Captain Halcyon nova, ultimately culminating into skeleton crews and, in turn, repeated seizings of the ship,

Excited by the dedication of Captain Xvraks, resulting in a fierce desire to see the revitalization of the Realm coupled with a return to dominance over the high seas,

Gladdened by the manifestation of said desire in the form of Security Council Resolution #498, which, upon passing, would allow the crew to safely refurbish the ship,

Despaired by the fraudulent use of Security Council Resolution #498 by malignant forces, deftly evading capture by exploiting hidden vulnerabilities within the resolution, cementing the unfortunate circumstance of the Realm for the foreseeable future,

Grimacing at the failure to evict the boarding parties, prompting the passing of Security Council Resolution #499, thereby preventing the potential marooning of the Realm,

Groaning at the passage of Security Council Resolution #500 in an act of benevolence deemed necessary by friendly navies, yet contrary to the wishes of the native buccaneers,

Enthused at the abandonment of the ship by the nefarious interlopers, allowing for Xvraks to reclaim the title of Captain of the Realm of the Whispering Winds,

Cognizant that Security Council Resolution #500 prevents the permanent ascendancy of Xvraks to the position of Captain, inhibiting the safety of the Realm for generations of pirates to come,

Hereby repeals “Injunct Realm Of The Whispering Winds.”

The true measure of any leader lies not in victories claimed or enemies defeated, seats held or elections won, but in the choice to rise to any challenge — again, and again, and again. Few face adversity and come back irrefutably more adept than before, but of those few, near none blaze as bright in the halls of history as Writinglegend (Gleg).

Forged in Fire

Decisions are made by those who show up — and for ten years, Gleg has never failed to show up. In 54 days, Gleg ascended to their first Ministership in their home of Europeia, turning a nine-day filler term in Culture into three consecutive terms of brilliance, bringing Europeia together with regular games, a Summerfest in space, and a festive Winter Ball.

Once lit, their fire was insatiable. Gleg served three consecutive terms in the Presidency and four more in the Grand Admiralty (GA) soon after. They seized the initiative in a faltering Europeia and set an aggressive foreign policy, pushing Europeia’s external communications with a dedicated ministry and international paper, leading the Europeian Republican Navy (ERN) to future success with 40-member-strong wargames and antifascist ops, and responding to interregional crises in a masterclass of leadership.

Tested by Time

Some define the chapters of history they reside in — but those who persevere define history.

Under a year after their last Presidency, Gleg returned to shape the modern foundations of Europeia in four more terms, creating important cornerstones of Europeian government in the Ministries of Radio and World Assembly Affairs (WAA). They were key in the creation of CAIN, a hallmark anti-fascist organization, established the Media Development and Distribution Agreement to project Europeian media influence abroad, and worked closely with the World Assembly Legislative League to cement Europeian expertise in WAA.

They overcame lethargy in their sixth term and with a reinjection of internal activity, and started their seventh term managing Foreign Affairs (FA) crises following the resignation of the former president in an FA scandal, navigating calamities abroad while maintaining strong communication with the citizenry to safely land the region after a disastrous start. Gleg would not stop there, leading a Constitutional Convention in 2018 that established Europeia’s standing foundational document.

Perennial

The titans of history remind us that our capacity to meet any challenge may well be limitless. After a few quiet years, Gleg rose once more in 2021 to steer Europeia through squall and storm, personally training future ERN leaders as GA to face a rising menace in raiderdom and beginning the integration of the ERN into defender operations.

And as the flames rose around Europeia, Gleg took the reins for a final tour de force — in over a year as President, Vice President, and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Gleg would position Europeia solidly at the core of countless conflicts, leading from the front in political and military engagements alike.

With determination, they reawakened the sleeping beast of Europeian foreign affairs, signing treaties and pacts with key defender regions to solidify new bonds against new enemies, coordinate with their recent treaty allies to strike blows against raider leadership in repeals of Condemn Ever-Wandering Souls or Reventus Koth or establish common policy in the Age of Frontiers with allies, and seal the beginnings of a new age for Europeia in their entrance to the Aegis Accords.

With resolution, they exacted retribution on the enemies of the Republic, working with allies to isolate the Communist Bloc via treaty repeal and Injunction as it partnered with invader forces, standing with Balder after the uncloaking of Operation Ragnarok, and helping to forge the Modern Gameplay Compact and its sanctions to create a counterbalancing force to raider hostility.

With vitality, they rallied Europeia against malevolence, fueling the media with constant coverage of FA activity and preparations at home, harnessing Europeian excellence for conflict in helping to activate the ERN Civilian Service and Militia, and publishing a Guide to the Goldenblock series to set the stage for a slew of incredible and individual successors, who now lead Europeia in fire and fortune on the trail Gleg blazed.

To challenge evil, to lead through tribulation, to reach for the stars — these are the defining traits of the legends of our time. In ten terms as President, hundreds of days in Cabinet, and a decade of advancing the spirit of democracy and the light of tomorrow, Gleg has conquered all it means to be legendary.

As such, the Security Council hereby commends Writinglegend.

The Security Council,

Turning the page to elden days, an age where chaos and destruction knew no bounds nor end, snuffing out the lights of civilizations and worlds in an ever-darkening night,

Beholding the rise of Nasicournia, a congregation of vibrant nations first bound together by their collective histories, a series of interwoven partnerships and conflicts connecting the first dozen and eventually hundreds of Nasicournian nations together into what would become not only one of the most developed regions in the world, but one of the first vibrant and multivarious communities. Nasicournia would house nations from other foundling allies like A New Begining and Cannabis Island to early raiders who, despite their eventual ideological dissonance with Nasicournia, would find a home united under Nasicournia’s collective stories, chronicling their many histories together — the most extensive of which include:

• the aftermath of the release of a Katangarian dead-hand system, resulting in a series of conflicts between some of the greatest military powers in Nasicournia over possession of the superweapon,

• the mystical tale of feudal warlords and their samurai servants across Nasicournia, battling one another in the name of honor and greed,

• the intergalactic adventures of a pirate crew walking in the footsteps of pirate legend Lawrence Spacecreed, as space-faring militaries attempt to capture them in a journey through the stars,

Disheartened that while Nasicournia would transform under this collaborative premise, creating a regional identity and government that would see it flourish, its shining light would also draw the attention of malevolent forces both within and beyond Nasicournia’s borders, resulting in repeated attacks on the region upon the disappearance of founder Nasicournus,

Amazed, however, at the collective response of the community, which vigorously repelled numerous attacks with the help of their allies. They would go on to develop the unique strategy of establishing a border region known as the Nasicournian Borderlands to protect the homeland, an effort mirrored in success only by fellow antiquity region Hell, and eventually did the unthinkable, swaying the powers above to grant the insuperable powers of foundership to Pope Hope, the architect of the region’s rise,

Further awed that these constant assaults did not dissuade Nasicournia from the threats beyond its walls, rather inspiring its members to step up and take a defiant stand against invaders. Nasicournia would go on to help found the legendary Alliance Defense Network (ADN), which would go on to defend innumerable regions from attack and combat despotism and destruction at the hands of regimes like the New Pacific Order, which Nasicournia helped lead the opposition against in its earliest years,

Appreciating Nasicournia’s key role not only in developing the ADN’s framework, ranks, and leadership with its dozens of bright, passionate defenders, but also its identity and purpose. Nasicournia would serve as a hub for many of its members in between battles, where they would often join Nasicournians in their domestic events and efforts, and acted as a reminder of what the ADN was striving to protect — vulnerable, vibrant communities — many of whom like the North Pacific, Juxtaposition X, or Equilism, joined the ADN as a product of Nasicournian outreach and connections,

Astounded at Nasicournia’s incredible dedication to the practice of defending, being key in the birth of the cornerstone defender institutions of intelligence and operationality that continue to play a key role in defending to this day, exemplified by their regional defender apparatuses including:

• the renowned defender army Nasicorps, led by fabled defenders like Pope Hope and Goobergunchia, who would be an ever-present force fighting on the front lines in early battles in regions like United States and Middle Earth. The Nasicorps would also act as a critical force within the ADN and other foundational defender alliances like the Allied Liberation League, particularly in operations of legend like the battles of the North Pacific against Pixiedance, and

• the historical hallmark of defender intelligence known as the Nasicournian Intelligence Agency (NIA), which itself purveyed NationStates in the early years and was critical in the early protection of countless regions. The NIA acted as a crucial and oft-underappreciated information source in a time where information was quickly lost and raider organizations and operations were manifold, allowing invasions to go undetected long after the target was seized,

Enshrining the tales of those who grew bright in the underwood of this dark forest, the stories of their endurance lighting the trail for those of us who have since gone on into a brighter day,

Hereby Commends Nasicournia.
