The World Assembly

The Security Council:

Recognizing that Severisen has contributed to NationStates in many ways and that not all of them have been known or recognized by the community abroad in the over fourteen years as a nation.

Revealing that their contributions to the world did not begin with The Black Hawks:

Understanding that, as a native of the region of Catholic, they were a long-term resident for those fourteen years. For twelve years, Severisen, as Devoted Decons, worked tirelessly for the protection and activity of this community. This includes:

• Being part of a resistance against the occupation of Catholic by DEN and The Black Hawks in 2012.
• Working tirelessly to aid defenders in their efforts to liberate the region from the enemy by rallying the region and its inhabitants against their invasion.
• Serving as Delegate for a year and further improving security during this time.
• Serving as Counselor, a position tasked with getting people to ratify the Constitution and endorse the Delegate as a matter of safety, from 2009 to 2011.
• Monitoring the communities of raiders in order to look out for the region by searching in their midst for any threats aimed at Catholic.
• Repealing SC Proposal #80: Liberate Catholic in order to restore the ability of natives to defend themselves against future invader incursions.
• At last taking up the role of the Founder nation, Saint Michael The Archangel, after the region was refounded by Devoted Decons and the other natives.

Illuminating that the nation, which then came to be known as Severisen, later spread their contributions beyond Catholic and took up such high military positions in larger regions as Marshal General of the Sekhmet Legion of Osiris, Amiral of the Jomsvikings of Balder, and Overseeing Officer of the Eastern Pacific Sovereign Army of The East Pacific.

Explaining that Severisen in those positions contributed to a diverse array of operations that benefited in some cases the regions, and in others the entirety of the international community. Such operations to benefit the community involved liberating regions under occupation by raiders and fascists. An operation of note was the defense of the European Union from an invasion by The Black Hawks, The Black Riders, the Europeian Republican Navy, and the United Imperial Armed Forces.

Acknowledging that Severisen’s contributions to regions after a span of ten years in Catholic alone began in The Black Hawks, where they served as a member of the Council of Hawks. Their work in The Black Hawks over the years includes training and recruitment and, later, intelligence and security.

Recalling that Severisen also was part of an effort to uncover the return of a banished nation to The Black Hawks in late 2014. They contributed to revealing that same nation's attempt to infiltrate The East Pacific.

Furthing recalling that Severisen also served as Il-Khan for Lone Wolves United in the same capacity under the name Abenthy.

Emphasizing that one of Severisen’s greatest achievements was their tenure in Osiris over a period of over four years as Detective figs, serving most particularly as a member of Osiris’ Security Council after the formation of the first Osiris Fraternal Order before taking the helm in 2014 as Delegate and Pharaoh in a time of need in Osiris.

Demonstrating that their time spent as Pharaoh became a defining moment in the Osiris Fraternal Order’s history, their work as the leader of Osiris contributing immensely to Foreign Affairs and internal stability, as they were undoubtedly the most successful and active Delegate of the Osiris Fraternal Order at that time.

Observing that under Severisen, a treaty between Osiris and The East Pacific as well as a non-aggression pact with The Rejected Realms were negotiated and signed. Good relations with all existing allies were maintained under Severisen’s reign.

Mindful that Severisen has served as a mediator between many nations and regions in times of conflict, spreading peace across the NationStates community through their reliability, trustworthiness, and competence. Such mediation resulted in the reestablishment of cooperation between nations in their times of conflict, and in such diplomatic feats as the aforementioned contribution to a non-aggression pact between two ideologically polar regions: Osiris and The Rejected Realms.

Underlining that Severisen’s mediation skills contributed in negotiations between ideologically different parties during the discussion on terms of cooperation in regards to the liberation of Anne Frank from Nazi Europa.

Wishing to correct a common community oversight as to contributions from less flashy nations by many by bringing to light the full nature of Severisen’s work for communities for well over a decade.

Hereby Commends Severisen.

The Security Council;

Acknowledging that Darkesia has taken part in the world of NationStates for fourteen years, and during that time has done many things that would be considered commendable.

Emphasizing that Darkesia has an extensive history involving far less benevolent acts that have gone largely unremarked upon, something that should be corrected and noted by this Assembly. A history of manipulating sovereign regions for the benefit of an egregiously notorious region must not be overlooked by the international community.

Beginning with the fact that Darkesia served as a Senator in the New Pacific Order during the tenures of BlackAdder goes Forth and Pierconium, repelling attempts at entering the region to work on liberating The Pacific from the New Pacific Order by the Alliance Defense Network and their other allies in their later days. Darkesia’s efforts further enabled the continuance of the New Pacific Order, an entity that now stands as twice Condemned by this Assembly.

Disturbed that some of Darkesia’s greatest works in Gatesville involved the initiation and execution of intelligence operations against other regions. Darkesia was inducted to the school of infiltration initially so that they might aid the defenders in their battles against the invaders of old. Instead, Darkesia turned these skills against their teachers and proceeded to use them for raiders and coupers in their future career, influencing other regions for ill by means of these abilities. A considerable amount of that influence was achieved under the banner of Gatesville.

Appalled that Darkesia has spent time engaged in subversive activities in the Feeders, supporting numerous operations by nations seeking to claim the Delegacy against the will of its populace. Such activities include:

• Participation in and support of multiple coups of The North Pacific. One such coup was Pierconium's North Pacific Directorate. Darkesia's role as support and aid in this regime was at the behest of Gatesville.

• Spying on The West Pacific in early 2008 to support the reign of Lots of Ants, another Gatesville national operative situated in the Delegacy. The leader of Darkesia was then granted complete control of the nation by its former masters before the end, leaving them in charge of the coup of The West Pacific.

• Militarily supporting Empire’s coup of The East Pacific in late 2008. Darkesia, with Gatesville, aided Empire in their quest to hold the region against the will of its natives. Gatesville's support kept the natives from restoring the sovereignty of The East Pacific for many months.

Surprised by the fact that Darkesia, under the name SheWolf, served as a spy for the first Invaders region. SheWolf was also a member of the original incarnation of The Black Hawks and participated in numerous raids and occupations with their fellow raiders.

Adding that, under the name The Edge of Night, Darkesia served as a minder for the original Illuminati, taking a leading role in a project intended to mold nations in a certain shape befitting the interests of the region. This intention was not in the best interests of the international community of NationStates.

Reiterating that Darkesia has a history of engaging in espionage, supported numerous coups and raids, has committed grave violations of regional sovereignty in regards to the international community, and thus is well deserving of a Condemnation.

Hereby Condemns Darkesia.

Security Council Resolution #277 “Liberate Politics Amino” shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The Security Council,

Recognizing that in the course of events that regions often fall under the sway of raiders seeking to destroy them,

Holding that Liberation resolutions must be passed by this Council to prevent the total destruction and refounding of regions,

Observing the recently needed Liberation of Politics Amino to prevent said events from occurring,

Saddened therefore that Politics Amino was refounded by raider forces before it could be saved from absolute destruction via a Security Council Liberation,

Believing that this has rendered the existence of SC#277 Liberate Politics Amino quite useless,

Further Believing that the continued existence of the aforementioned Liberation will only serve to make the now trophy region more valuable to its raider owners rather than any useful end,

Hereby Repeals SC#277 Liberate Politics Amino.

The Security Council,

RECOGNIZING that since its formation fifteen years ago, the nation of Woonsocket has contributed overwhelmingly to the 10000 Islands through civil service and to the international community through military service as a long time member of the Ten Thousand Islands Treaty Organization (TITO),

ACKNOWLEDGING that Woonsocket served with distinction in the role of Chief Executive and Founder of the 10000 Islands for nearly three years where they oversaw sizable regional development and demonstrated competent diplomatic skill which allowed for the creation of several treaties with important allies, such as The Rejected Realms, and cemented the alliances of the 10000 Islands with regions around the world,

AWARE that the military contributions imputed to Woonsocket are voluminous and include being a highly decorated defender in TITO for nearly a decade and having completed over 430 deployments; in this capacity they have been given the rank of TITO Knight Fleet Commander after serving as a TITO Tactical Officer for two years and have been decorated many times including with the Soldiers Medal, for dedication in military conduct, the Woonsocket Bronze Star, the Meritorious Service Medal, for consistent merited service, and the South America Defense Medal,

COGNIZANT that Woonsocket participated in 10 refound operations, in which founderless regions were restored once again to peace and tranquility, including the refounding of USA, The Skeleton Army, Beyond the Sea, Australia, Natan Region, Animal House, Hogwarts, Urbanites, Greece, and United States Congress,

PLEASED that Woonsocket deployed in support of operations in Feeders and Sinkers alike in the interest of maintaining lawful regional governments and protecting them from coups, this includes support of the region Osiris, assignment to The South Pacific during course of the Milograd coup in 2013 and their role in Lazarus during the coup of 2015,

OBSERVING that Woonsocket served an 11 month tenure as Minister of Immigration in the 10000 Islands, during which they guided regional recruiting policy and oversaw a population increase to an all-time regional population record for any region that is neither a feeder, nor a sinker on November 17, 2011 with 2,200 nations, including receiving 17 different immigration awards and various distinctions including the 10000 Islands Immigration Medal of Honor,

IMPRESSED that, according to 10000 Islands regional scholars, the government of Woonsocket has sent 133,173 manual recruitment telegrams as a regional recruiter while recruiting a grand total of 4,669 recruits to the 10000 Islands,

NOTING that Woonsocket was awarded the Legion of Merit for demonstrating an exemplary record of service to the Islands or the world and the Heart of the Islands trophy for nations who embody and exemplify goodwill,

FURTHER OBSERVING that while serving as Delegate for 6 months, Woonsocket helped to set the standard for voting on every World Assembly proposal, something which is sought after by subsequent 10000 Islands Delegates to this day,

WISHING to celebrate and preserve this legacy for the international community and future generations,

HEREBY commends Woonsocket.

The Security Council,

Noting that the nation of Pierconium was founded before even the advent of the calendar system in time immemorial;

Observing that the nation of Pierconium, throughout their long history, has participated in and lead many despicable acts throughout the realms which have largely gone unnoticed and which the international community should be made aware of;

Appalled that, in 2004, Pierconium supported the brutal coup d'etat of The North Pacific by the New Pacific Order, itself a condemned organisation per SC#268, and ordered forces hailing from New Sparrow to support the rogue delegate Great bight and later Francos spain, founder of the New Pacific Order;

Shocked that Pierconium, using their puppet government of Gracius maximus and its influential position in The North Pacific, manipulated the government of the then Delegate nation of Pixiedance to gain control of that nation's power within the feeder to subvert and destroy the governing body of The North Pacific. Using that power they systematically disbanded the lawful government in lieu of one they themselves envisioned, called the North Pacific Directorate, and removed nearly 500 native nations they saw as threats to their power;

Astonished that Pierconium played a key role in setting up Okhrana, an international spy network, which gathered intelligence from a wide range of regions and maintained in operation for several years;

Outraged that, in 2008, Pierconium, under the name of "Lord Darkseid", participated in a group known as "the Empire" as a founding member, which overthrew the legal government of The East Pacific and established an illegitimate regime for over 5 months;

Stunned that, as That called the vlagh, Pierconium was instrumental in the survival of the authoritarian Triumvirate of The West Pacific, which established a legacy of Delegate Supremacy and a Meritocratic government that continues to influence The West Pacific to this day;

Aware that Pierconium was an influential member of Gatesville, a region known for its opposition of the World Assembly as well as its coup of Osiris in 2013;

Further Noting that Pierconium has served in various positions with the governing body of The Pacific, known as the New Pacific Order, since that body's early history starting in 2004. These positions include the titles of Chief Justice of the High Court, Governor, Senator, Regent, and Emperor. In this capacity Pierconium oversaw multiple purges of the community of The Pacific, one in 2006 and one in 2008, which saw the removal of over 5,032 nations native to their region;

Firmly believing that these deeds warrant condemnation,

Hereby condemns Pierconium.
