Vote Against SC resolution Commend Shizensky Prime
Resolution Analysis
Overview
This resolution seeks to commend 
Shizensky Prime for their contributions to 10000 Islands (XKI) and the Renegade Islands Alliance (RIA). The author begins by pointing out their contributions to XKI's roleplay scene and the resurrection of their foreign affairs apparatus. The resolution then continues by detailing their many contributions to the RIA--including building its foreign affairs, contributing to that region culturally, managing and leading its large military (and creating new tools for it), and mentoring the next crop of leaders of that region, many of whom have gone on to receive commendations themselves.
Recommendation
While we have no doubt that this nominee is perhaps worthy of our approbation, it is worth considering precisely what the commendation dives into. Detailing certainly impressive diplomatic work, it details the construction of alliances that we think rather natural. Certainly these required deft skill to maintain, rapprochement is more noteworthy than forming links with ideological bosom buddies. Additionally, while one can certainly find oneself impressed with the scale of achievements of the RIASF, it is worth noting that no scale is provided. These achievements of Shizensky's would be more impressive if it was clear they were impressive, especially by the scale of their day. Finally, we are left to consider whether cultural achievements are inherently commendable. Again, with no sense of scale or depth, as with the other main thrusts of this commendation, we are left to assume that the nominee's achievements were either fleeting or just on the wrong side of commendable.
For the above reasons, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote Against the Security Council Resolution at vote, "Commend Shizensky Prime".
