Commend 1 Very Fast Endotarter

A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.

Category: Commendation

Nominee (nation): 1 very fast endotarter

Proposed By: Noah

This Security Council,

Recognizing the validity of Commend Renaissancistic People, which commended the subject for their ability to effectively legislate, lead, and further interregional ties,

Observing that, despite the nation of Renaissancistic people ceasing to exist, the former leadership has continued to contribute to the international community via 1 very fast endotarter (typically referred to as 'r3n'), especially in the field of international artwork,

Acknowledging r3n’s role in proposing the original concept of the The North Pacific Great Card Giveaway and Card Lottery, which was a successful experiment that showed the rest of the world the value of artwork in spurring regional development,

Further acknowledging r3n’s role in jointly proposing and drafting the legislation to co-found The North Pacific Cards Guild, the first organization of its kind and still the largest, inspiring similar programs in other regions throughout the world,

Understanding that r3n has propelled the regional collection of The North Pacific Cards Guild to 5th in the multiverse, effectively creating an infinite stock of rewards to stimulate regional activity and World Assembly participation within The North Pacific, and also their role in acquiring specific artwork requests for those who are unable to collect on as large a scale,

Noting that, based on market value alone, the sum of all artwork donated to other nations by r3n is more valuable than the sixth most valuable collection in the world, indicating a remarkable amount of magnanimity and devotion to assisting nations wishing to obtain artwork,

Approving of r3n’s continued internal contributions as Deputy Guildmaster of The North Pacific Cards Guild, where they frequently provide technical infrastructure for various functions, suggest new programs, and give all-important feedback on nearly everything,

Impressed by the scholars within the nation that have proposed various quality of life and data acquisition suggestions to the greater community, many of which have been implemented,

Awed and slightly perplexed by the r3n-produced art-based tools that are utilized by an uncountable number of nations throughout the collecting community, such as:

An art queries system that enables complex filtered searching of more than 350 thousand known artworks, which is incredibly useful for collectors looking to find artwork with certain traits,

A publicly available market watch database that tracks important information such as daily trades data, artwork value statistics, and market volume, making it useful as both a historical reference and an investing tool;

Astounded by the continued maintenance of regional development programs by r3n, including but definitely not limited to:

A program that automatically generates lists of specific nations to be targeted for recruitment by The North Pacific, ensuring active nations can further participate and contribute to the region,

Programs to collate data related to dispatches and messages, as well as World Assembly votes and endorsements, ensuring that The North Pacific’s monthly Literary Awards and World Assembly Development Program Awards publish the most accurate data,

A program to ensure that nations across the world may effectively trade endorsements with all their fellow region members, improving security everywhere,

Understanding that the World Assembly Development Program has been emulated by many other regions such as The South Pacific, 10000 Islands, and Balder, with some regions also using art rewards to stimulate involvement, resulting in these regions achieving record high levels of stability against potential attacks,

Applauding r3n for their development of the Civil Defence Siren, a nation dedicated to maintaining a list of fascist regions and warning nations that join these regions to leave them, preventing unsuspecting nations from being indoctrinated into hateful ideologies,

Grateful that r3n has managed to store backups of the entire multiverse’s data archives in their secure servers, a resource that has been utilized countless times as they are the only widely-known source of such archives,

Hereby commends 1 very fast endotarter.

I'm opposed to this.

r3n's card work is immense and impressive, and I don't object to the idea of giving a player a second Commendation. However, r3n has a length career of supporting the "Independent" and imperialist spheres of NationStates, and thereby supporting raiding, through his tenure of service in Europeia. Even recently when he has retired from day-to-day government and gameplay, he continues to nudge the needle in very subtle ways towards raiding, providing an ideological bulwark for it in his regions. The idea that r3n's work exists apolitically is absurd, as the tools he has created were first piloted in TNP and Europeia, two regions with political agendas. In fact, it could easily be argued r3n's tools are primarily responsible for TNP being the largest region in NationStates right now, and advancing TNP as a region like that has serious political consequences.

Votes aren't just about the text of the resolution themselves, they're also about political interests, and this resolution is counter to our regional interests. So I'll be lodging a vote AGAINST and casting all Delegate's Prerogative votes in the same vein.

I have cast 8 delegate's prerogative votes against and have voted against on site.
