Commend The Joint Systems Alliance
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.

Category: Commendation
Nominee: The Joint Systems Alliance
Proposed by: A mean old man


Description: The World Assembly,

RECOGNIZING The Joint Systems Alliance as “a vast intergalactic alliance of many peoples and species who have banded together in the hopes of achieving a more stable and peaceful galaxy,”

OBSERVING the many positive actions of this alliance of technologically advanced nations, these actions being based around the alliance’s basic values of promoting peace within the nations’ own borders, within the borders of nations around the world or in other locations within the galaxy which are not members of the JSA, and within the vast and wild expanse of the dark void known as outer space,

ADMIRING the devotion of the members of this alliance to keeping the peace on an intergalactic scale and acknowledging the many political feats that their collective power humbly achieves, such as:
a.) - - - maintaining a massive and popular foreign embassy program within the gargantuan space station, Delta Capita,
b.) - - - holding the lengthy and lively JSA Joint Councils with the intent of resolving pressing issues with their fellow JSA nations, resolving issues with directly involved nations from outside of the alliance, and, overall, making decisions on the actions of the alliance and its members,
c.) - - - aiding in an intergalactic exploration and colonization effort initiated by non-JSA entity North Calaveras,
d.) - - - creating a highly organized and highly efficient form of government for the alliance run by officials of individual member nations the alliance,

PRAISING the many efforts of The Joint Systems Alliance and its members to be prepared to act quickly on any disruptions of any nation’s peace whenever these disruptions occur, these actions involving for the most part the sending of military assistance and/or humanitarian aid (medical supplies, equipment, personnel, et cetera) to the nations in need,

APPRECIATING the alliance’s firm code of conduct which assures that all nations within the alliance are to take military action only when it is just and necessary or if it is in defense, and believing that this system has been very effective due to witnessing numerous examples of JSA military action, such as:
a.) - - - the JSA’s interference with the Malaklan’s genocidal attack on a human colony,
b.) - - - the JSA’s collaborative effort to put down an attempt to conquer the galaxy by the Hyperborians of The Steppe Empire and their successful peace talks with the offender after the ordeal had been sorted out and the offender defeated,
c.) - - - and the two current triumphant defenses of JSA territory from a hostile arachnid race known as the “Bugs,”

FURTHER APPRECIATING the JSA’s commitment to strong and free international trade and approving of their awareness of a need for a healthy world economy,

ACKNOWLEDGING in particular the alliance’s founder and leader nation, Magna Omega, for the enormous devotion of time and effort made by this entity to the alliance’s organization, maintaining its political stability, and to the well-being of nations both within and outside of The Joint Systems Alliance,

HEREBY COMMENDS The Joint Systems Alliance for its many great contributions to the world of NationStates and for the honorable example it sets for other nations around the world

[Walabamba]

Delegates prerogative.

I think this is another roleplay based resolution and I don't know anything about Joint Systems Alliane so I'll leave it up to Ananke.

[Ananke II]

For me there's a difference between this one and the previous roleplay based C&Cs. Condemning/commending someone based on IC roleplay actions I don't really get, so am likely to either abstain or oppose, depending on my mood.

However this security council resolution commends a region based on the fact that they're good at roleplaying.* I'm all for community in Nationstates, so that's something I can understand. If The System Joints Alliance has enriched Nationstates' "culture" by doing good roleplay over a longer period (from my reading up on the place so far it seems like they have) I do think that's something worth commending. Same way I think other active regions which features, which makes the game worth playing for more people are worth commending.

*the resolution is written IC more or less, from what I can see, but the way I look at it it's basically commending their roleplay abilities, just in the language their particular way of playing the game.

[Walabamba]

Oh, that makes more sense, I could see commending them in that case.

[New Augustgrad]

I didn't really care for how wordy this was when I first read it, but I like this commendation better than most of the Commend/Condemn proposals I've been seeing. I'm going to abstain for now, but am inclined to cast my vote for.

[Greek People Nation (GPN)]

Delegates choice. I do not care much for C&C

[Wordy]

Delegates choice for me. I dont take part in roleplays but I can see this adding to the game for a lot of people who do roleplay.

[Anime Daisuki]

I don't think they've been around that long to establish a track record.

Their founder is only 1.6 billion old, which means the region can't have been around for more than a year and half.

There are a lot more older and better RP regions around. Like Wysteria and Hyrule that I think should be considered first.

Not to mention, this region is password protected, doesn't look very welcoming.

[Echolilia]

Delegate's choice.

[Guy]

Well, Anime raises some good points.
But I couldn't care less (about the commendation).

[Harperians]

I'd say - give them a chance.

[Kanaia]

DELEGATES PREROGATIVE

However, I'd like to note how much better this type of Commend resolution is compared to all the patting each other on the back that was going on a few months ago.
