Commend Europeia

The Security Council,
Acclaiming regions in the universe which exude stability, provide opportunity, and prove to be stalwarts on the interregional stage and recognizing that Europeia is one of them;
Knowing that Europeia first began as a monarchy in 2007 ruled by https://www.nationstates.net/images/flags/uploads/king_hem__366225t2.jpg
King HEM, but transitioned into a democracy later that same year, a regime change which has stood the test of time with a democratically-elected Senate, the primary law-making body which has been home to many robust debates over time, and an elected head of state overseeing the diverse activities that Europeian citizens can engage in;
Lauding Europeia as its democracy has rarely been contained within the confines of elected bodies, but has often encompassed the entirety of the citizenry via regular discussions on important legal and policy issues in its Grand Hall. Citizen participation in Europeian politics can also be seen through the long and storied histories of the several iterations of the Europeian Citizens’ Assembly and later by allowing national leaders in Europeia to run its capital city of Arnhelm via its City Council;
Believing that democracy cannot function without a robust media sphere, something that Europeia recognizes, encourages, and prizes, with the Europeian Broadcasting Corporation providing Europeians and others news, commentary, and analysis in both text and auditory formats in concert with private outlets such as The Europeian Research Institute, The Panda’s Pen, and others;
Assuring the multiverse that Europeia practices inclusion in other ways than solely participation in government, such as through promoting diverse perspectives on existence through the successful “Women in NS” Symposium and the Project Moirai series run in Europeian regional media, both of which honored female world leaders and provided a forum for them to discuss issues unique to their experiences participating in world affairs, and the annual EuroPride celebrations celebrating LGBTQIA+ national leaders of Europeia;
Applauding the Europeian Republican Navy, the acclaimed military of Europeia, for holding its own on the high seas since the region’s very foundation, serving as a bastion of domestic activity for the region through several operations known as “Wargames”, and participating in interregional cooperation through a bevy of operations throughout the years, such as those freeing Anne Frank and Union of the Fascist Reich from fascist control and more recently the operations surrounding Confederacy of Layem;
Admiring the innovative approach of Europeia in the field of international relations, especially in its leading role in formulating the Independent Manifesto. Since the Manifesto was announced in the mid-2010s, it has united The North Pacific, Europeia, and Balder in the pursuit of their own interests. Among other benefits, the Independent Manifesto has allowed Europeia to pursue opportunities for engagement with diverse groups across many different alignments, benefitting Europeia and the wider world in the process;
Appreciating too that Europeian foreign policy interests also extend to ensuring a level playing field for recruitment by regions and that the landmark Arnhelm Declaration of Recruitment Standards provided an interregionally-agreed upon curb to recruitment from other regions which do not inherently exist in the multiverse;
Praising the impressive achievements of Europeia in the World Assembly and their prized Ministry of World Assembly Affairs, which has contributed greatly to the World Assembly Legislative League through, and thanks in part, to the many individuals who made and continue to make Europeia a heavyweight in this body such as:

  • Mousebumples, a nation commended largely for their work in the World Assembly, contributions which specifically focused on medical equality among member states,

  • Maowi, a sloth-filled domain that was also commended due to their contributions to the World Assembly and Europeia which focused on social justice and mentorship of aspiring authors, and

  • Kaboomlandia, a country which focused on righting the wrongs of the past—specifically by removing the recognition this august assembly bestowed on nations removed from this plane of existence by a fearsome and mysterious figure from the heavens;

Extolling Europeia’s pride of place as a leader among its peers as a shining beacon of stability, a land of hope and opportunity, and as an international bulwark and wishing to afford it the highest honor this assembly can bestow;
Hereby Commends Europeia.
