Sophia & Sparkalia recommend a vote FOR A Celebration of Exceptional Rarity

Security Council: A Celebration of Exceptional Rarity (Declaration; Declare), by Piura

Recommendation: FOR

Rationale: What this resolution says in six paragraphs, we can summarise in sixteen words: Leap Day is unusual; it only happens once every four years; and we should cherish it. While February 29th is not a landmark event in NationStates history as such, it as a date is rare enough - and Piura, the author, suggests that we celebrate it with the reciprocal level of fun - that we believe it is worthy of commemoration via a Declaration.

There has been some controversy surrounding the use of AI text generators in writing the proposal. However, we accept that Piura is not the most vocal or outspoken player and their nation is heavily themed on a Peruvian region. Should their proposal be repealed and they choose to redraft it, we urge them to write from the heart - and, if time allows, to look into events that may have happened on the six Leap Days that NationStates has previously gone through.

This recommendation was written by Tinhampton, the President of Sophia. Sparkalia concurs.

This resolution will be at vote between the major updates of February 29th 2024 and March 4th 2024.

This recommendation was jointly issued between Sophia and Sparkalia. This does not mean that the President's opinion of this resolution was influenced by what Sparkalia believes. Under the Constitution, the President must always cast their vote in line with the interests of Sophia, not some other region; this recommendation reflects the sincere beliefs of all regions involved.
