URA recommendations:


URA World Assembly Recommendation

Commend Libertanny
The Security Council,

Believing that there exists few nations of such caliber that can permanently better the fates of their regions through work of extraordinary difficulty and nearly unmatched inspiration, of which Libertanny of The East Pacific (TEP) can be counted,

Applauding Libertanny’s contributions to TEP as Minister of Information in early 2018 and Chief Minister of Communications in late 2018, a period in which they worked to involve members of the unrepresented Regional Message Board (RMB) community within the Ministry, and played an integral role in expanding the reach and scope of the Eastern Pacific News Service (EPNS) as an informative tool, also repealing the EPNS Act (which heavily restricted the operations of the EPNS) in the Magisterium so that the EPNS could function with greater flexibility and effectiveness,

Identifying Libertanny’s contributions to design and art in TEP, serving as Minister of Design in late 2018, where they engaged a formerly decaying ministry, circulating various design programs to assist nations in their pursuits, and creating numerous designs including the TEP delegate seal as well as various flags, badges, and awards.

Admiring Libertanny’s valiant efforts to oppose the 2019 coup d’etat of TEP by Fedele via the founding of a legislative bloc which actively and publicly opposed Fedele’s actions, the proposal of a symbolic Magisterial resolution to condemn Fedele for openly ignoring regional law, and the assistance in unendorsement campaigns during the coup to depose the usurper, ultimately playing a vital role to overcome the subversion,

Recognizing Libertanny’s restructuring of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs following the coup, creating a new leadership council consisting of senior diplomats and delegating leadership responsibilities to it, helping democratize the decision-making process, ease the burden of leadership, and allow for such greater efficiency that it remains in use to this day,

Noting Libertanny’s extensive structural reforms of TEP’s Government during their eight-month tenure as Delegate, including but not limited to:

  1. Empowering World Assembly influence in the region by establishing the independence of the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs from the purview of any other ministries, strengthening its decision-making power and building engagement within this very Assembly,

  2. Creating Ambassador positions for various, underrepresented communities within TEP's government, such as the RMB and the Cards Association, TEAPOT; connecting TEP’s government to more isolated parts of the region and fostering a greater sense of community in TEP,

  3. Instituting the precedent of allowing regional legislature representation in treaty negotiations, improving upon the prolonged process of drafting treaties and eliminating a large hindrance to the advancement of interregional diplomacy, and

  4. Directing the creation of REWARD without aid, a World Assembly Development Program which has strengthened regional security by incentivizing the endorsement of regional security officers and encouraged a more vibrant endorsement culture within the region,

Saluting Libertanny’s contributions to TEP diplomacy during their delegacy, mainly by building treaties emphasizing goodwill, mutual defense, and cooperation, with regions such as The Free Nations Region and Thaecia, both of which have become some of TEP’s closest allies,

Appreciating Libertanny’s initiative in creating and helping to host all editions of the well regarded 2020 “Paradoxical Event”, a gaming festival regularly enjoyed by 100+ nations; this boosted regional activity for participating regions, and encouraging the forming of new and bountiful international relationships; and in founding the subsequent “Paradoxical Corporation,” which will continue to host such events,

Accrediting that Libertanny has single-handedly transformed and bettered The East Pacific as a respected leader, hard worker, and reformer on a caliber befitting such a commendation,

Hereby Commends Libertanny.

Co-authored by Ponthieu.

This Security Council resolution was written by Aivintis and Ponthieu to commend Libertanny. You can find the drafting thread on the forums here.

The United Regions Alliance recommends that you vote AGAINST the resolution

This resolution commends former The East Pacific delegate Libertanny for their contributions to the region. These contributions include opposition to the 2019 TEP coup, structural reform of the regional government, and diplomacy with other regions. The Alliance is not convinced that such accomplishments are deserving of a Commendation, as many of the details outlined in this resolution are typical tasks expected of a GCR delegate. Furthermore, many members of the Alliance with first-hand experience with TEP have contradicted the view that Libertanny's government reorganization was beneficial overall. For instance, the bloated Foreign Affairs bureaucracy opened consulates with regions like URA member Niamark and proceeded to perform no actual diplomacy. Another failure in diplomacy can be seen in TEP's project The Consortium, which has since shut down. The nature of Libertanny's role in reversing the 2019 coup have also been called into question. Overall, this resolution attempts to paint standard government business as extraordinary feats worthy of extraordinary praise, while including numerous inaccuracies and spinning failures into successes. For those reasons, the URA is opposed to this commendation.

Noble titans wrote:My personal thoughts on Libertanny are that he’s a good person. I worked with him towards the end of Yuno’s Delegacy. Hard worker, very idealistic, and one of most persistent leaders. This draft really doesn’t really mention anything that’s not out of the ordinary. Most of this draft is simply what a good GCR Delegate should do. This will be hard for me to pick if it becomes a proposal. I think it’s written in an odd way. Better than the first draft, but still concerning how it was written.

I was involved in Serge’s [Libertanny's] FA ministry as both a member and as an ambassador. The truth is that Serge took a framework made by NT and others, made it 4 times more complicated, and built a ministry with massive manpower but zero real engagement with their regions. During this time Serge reached out to numerous smaller UCRs, including Niamark and other URA members. They pushed these regions to open consulates and then called it good. Once these regions were on board they tucked us away on a shelf and stopped caring about us, except to occasionally drop a newspaper link.

As an example of the bloat and inefficiency of Serge’s system: TEP had 3 people in our server at all times and none of them were doing any diplomacy.

Saluting Libertanny’s contributions to TEP diplomacy during their delegacy, mainly by building treaties emphasizing goodwill, mutual defense, and cooperation, with regions such as The Free Nations Region and Thaecia, both of which have become some of TEP’s closest allies,

This is a very selective retelling of the Consortium, a multilateral treaty that had the entirety of gameplay scratching their heads. The Consortium was a bunch of random UCRs of questionable closeness to TEP and even more questionable value as allies. At this point the Consortium has fallen through, largely because TEP was the main drive and they failed to so much as ratify the treaty in their legislature.

While pondering this draft I was made aware that Serge made efforts to rig elections, using extraregional help/voter importing, following the initial election of Fedele. This was therefore unrelated to any counter-coup efforts. So, Serge’s record is not as clean as the current TEP would have you believe. I would understand, of course, if some might consider this not enough to weigh against Serge’s contributions to the region, though my personal opinion remains that Serge did nothing special. However, there is one more major issue I have, the primary reason I staunchly oppose this resolution.

As Delegate and as administrator, Serge allowed (if not enabled or assisted) the distribution of malicious logs that defamed URA member region Anteria, and by extension Karma and its founder, who was the real target. Last I checked the people responsible for these logs still referred to Anteria as “collateral damage”. TEP denies any involvement with these logs, but they were compiled by A Mean Old Man, an official and (I believe) moderator of TEP at the time. These were logs that took conversations and messages from Anteria out of context in order to paint it as a toxic atmosphere, defaming Emi for allowing it to persist, and defaming Altino based on her association with Emi and Anteria.

Davelands wrote:The election manipulation is well-documented. In fact, we did find a number of people from his plan trying to become citizens simply to votestack.

In addition, during my time in TEP, he quit the region 3 separate times. He had a habit of getting started with things and then when everyone was onboard and the work started, he would say goodbye, and leave the region entirely for a month or so then repeat the same process.

He also opened up a number of embassies with very sketchy regions during his Delegacy and got a lot of GP crap for it.

URA World Assembly Recommendation

Repeal "World Assembly Headquarters"
The General Assembly,

Noting that GA#8 was passed by a slim margin many years ago,

Observing that many important global events have befallen the international community since that time,

Aware that many of the staff working inside the World Assembly Headquarters would be better off working from home in this day and age,

Cognizant of the carbon emissions resulting from the semi-regular travel of thousands of delegations to and from a single international headquarters,

Suggesting that decreasing the degree of travel necessary for WA diplomats to do their jobs may well aid in the fight against climate change,

Asserting that there are many other uses for the land on which the World Assembly Headquarters currently resides that would provide far more social good, such as, but not limited to:

  • Free social housing

  • Affordable social housing

  • Extortionate social housing

  • A shopping centre

  • Many pubs

  • The world’s largest brothel

  • Decorative rubble

Conceding that there may be some alternative uses that might provide a net negative to the international community, such as an office for a law firm,

Ignoring this on the grounds that lawyers will likely be dealt with when the revolution comes,

Hereby Repeals GA#8 “World Assembly Headquarters”.

This General Assembly resolution was written by Kavagrad to repeal GAR#008 "World Assembly Headquarters" which was authored by Omigodtheykilledkenny. You can find the drafting thread on the forums here.

The United Regions Alliance recommends that you vote FOR the resolution

This resolution repeals "World Assembly Headquarters," arguing that the land on which the WA Building stands could be used for better purposes. These noble uses include affordable housing, "the world's largest brothel," and other wonderful ideas. The Alliance strongly supports this resolution and agrees with the convincing arguments outlined in the repeal. Furthermore, the URA posits that the destruction of the World Assembly Headquarters and construction of mega malls, mega brothels, and other mega facilities will create countless jobs and untold prosperity for international society.

In 2021 500 of the finest members of the FDF have been transferred to Friedmanican Space Agency for Astronaut training. They will join an existing Corp of 5,000.

1,000,000 Friedmanicans are deployed abroad.

I’ve been responding to issues with a pro military aim for years. It just took a lot of patience to to get the Defense and Arms Manufacturing Ratings so high. Also harder to do since I also try to be a pro civil rights/political freedom country.

I worked the army size out on my own. My country recently broke 5 billion. I wasn’t sure what realistic numbers were be so I looked at China having a population of 1.4 billion and over 2 million in the PLA. I didn’t exactly multiply but just made rough guesstimates for where a country of 5 billion could be.

I asked the question because you spend quite a lot on a single soldier if you have a population of over 5 billion each spending over 30,000 on defence. I just did the math and it is actually 19,853,883.22 per person in active duty. It must pay a terrific salary to be cannon fodder in Friedmanica.

I'll do that.

I got an Issue today about whether mentally ill persons should be disallowed from possessing firearms. I did do that (I'm no Civil Rights Lovefest anymore), but mentally ill persons are actually responsible for only small part of firearm deaths, according to research, and mental illness itself is quite a poor predictor of future firearm-related crimes. It's still a risk, but it must be weighted against other things (the freedom to pursue a gun-related hobby, for example). What do you think? (I especially address this question to those who live in the US because gun violence is a much bigger issue there)

Real world unrealistic? Sure. In a country of 5 billion people not really. China has over 2 million active duty in a country of 1.4 billion. They could pull several million more if they went on a war footing and enforced their mandatory service laws.

For me i don't think that much airmen or seamen compared to the armed forces really makes sense. Then again i don't really have a clue, but i'd think the army would have a much bigger proportion.

Why would you be a good fit for Chief Communications Officer?
I believe that I would be a good fit for CCO because of my willingness to hear other sides and then come to compromises. From both my opinion and experience, being inflexible is never good. For the position I am running for, I think that being polite and understanding is key, and I possess this skillset to help me achieve these aims. Being the current incumbent, it means that I am experienced in the role, and the most up-to-date in policy.

What will you continue to add as Chief Communications Officer, and a Member of the Board?
If I am reelected as Chief Communications Officer, I shall continue what I had done during my previous incumbency. This includes ensuring a quality control of embassies is enforced, and also building stronger relationships with the regions that we already have embassies in. Furthermore, I shall work with the other board members to make sure your requests are met,

You're stupid and I hate you!
In that case then I respect your opinion. I think it is alright if you see flaws in me and do not trust me to be an effective Chief Communications Officer. However, should you choose not to vote for me, I would recommend you instead vote for The federation of spokane. He has previously held this role and it would certainly be good to have some older opinions back on the Land's End Board!

At first they come a bit quicker, but eventually they will come every 5 hours, up to 5 issues. You can slow them down a bit in settings if you would want to do that, no way to speed them up though.
