[font=Open Sans, Frutiger, Frutiger Linotype, Segoe UI, Helvetica Neue, Arial][size=120]The [b]Council on Regional Security[/b] or [b]CRS[/b] is a group of nations that is responsible for the internal security of [region]The South Pacific[/region]. They are one of the most crucial lines of defense against external and internal security threats. Their main purpose is monitoring, responding to regional security issues, and protecting the Delegate from a coup.[/size][/font]

[font=Open Sans, Frutiger, Frutiger Linotype, Segoe UI, Helvetica Neue, Arial][size=120]For the safety and security of our region, we ask that all World Assembly (WA) member nations in the South Pacific endorse the members of the CRS, as well as the Delegate. There is however no requirement to do so. But doing so will make you become [url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1045928][color=#ff9900]a SWAN Knight[/color][/url] and have some benefits others don't have so there is no reason not to do this![/size][/font]

[font=Open Sans, Frutiger, Frutiger Linotype, Segoe UI, Helvetica Neue, Arial][size=170][color=#1089e6][b]How does the CRS perform its duties?[/b][/color][/size][/font]

[font=Open Sans, Frutiger, Frutiger Linotype, Segoe UI, Helvetica Neue, Arial][size=120]When detecting a nation that is causing trouble or is a potential security threat, a CRS member nations will take action by warning that nation via telegram, and ejecting or banning the nation from the region if they do not respond and curb their actions. In order to do this, something called [b]influence[/b] needs to be used. CRS nations need a lot of influence to properly carry out their duty. In order to have a lot of influence, they need to have lots of endorsements, which is why CRS member nations' endorsement count is usually only slightly lower than that of the Delegate. [/size][/font]

[font=Open Sans, Frutiger, Frutiger Linotype, Segoe UI, Helvetica Neue, Arial][size=120]The threats or troubles the CRS usually deals with are:[/size][/font]
