Commend Ghant

Category: Commendation

Nominee: Ghant

Proposed by: Magecastle Embassy Building A5

Recognising the heroic origins of the reigning monarchy in Ghant, first arising in Ajax circa 912 CE as a union of native Ghantish tribes to repel the attacks of warlike groups, including the Celts and Sjömännen;

Noting that the nation has since committed itself to defending the principles of anti-imperialism, civil rights, and sovereignty in countless regions, determined to protect nations from meeting the same ending that almost destroyed Ghant;

Remembering Ghant’s extensive efforts to promote peace and resolve strife abroad, protecting the lives and dignity of countless against conflicts consuming their nations; by

  • hosting mediation talks to alleviate the tensions of an ongoing civil war in Ashab, with negotiations having been concluded to great effect in resolving conflict;
  • assisting the military of Havensky in evacuating civilians from Hab Centre 06 in Gholgoth during a brutal invasion by The Kraven Corporation, reducing wartime casualties of innocents; and
  • hosting the “Ismos Peace Prize”, an annual award honouring the individuals and groups most effective at promoting peace, thereby inspiring and creating a standard for politicians, activists, and many others;

Impressed, too, by Ghant’s commitment to protecting the sovereignty of Heilanor after the Ghantish Emperor Nathan married Lara, sister to Heilanorian Empress Selena, in a conspiracy to seize the throne over Heilanor and Zathalon more generally, an event which fomented widespread chaos and rebellion throughout Panessos. The brave leaders of Ghant, knowing that they needed to do what was right, sent warships to Heilanor to confront the nation’s own Emperor directly, encouraging him to reconsider his actions while helping to return Zathalon to its state prior to the conflict;

Praising Ghant’s further efforts to promote peace and cooperation during a large-scale war between countless major powers fomented by conflict between The Golden Throne (also known as The Macabees) and The Scandinvans; such efforts including

  • working directly to suppress pirate activity against the Golden Throne, thereby protecting Macabean vessels’ safety in international and national waters, as well as facilitating the Macabean efforts against the slave-trading Scandinvan Empire; and
  • acting as the new Executor of Gholgoth to promote peace in the reputedly unstable and warlike region, hosting a diplomatic conference between its major powers to de-escalate the various conflicts incited in the region during the war;

Envious, additionally, of the rich Ghantish culture that it has developed over many centuries, exemplified by the nation’s extensive legends and poetry, including “The Horned Snake”, a tale of a warrior who changed species after eating a magical snake; and “Windigo”, about a battle between a warrior and a legendary human-eating monster that alternatively possessed them with its evil spirit;

Celebrating Ghant’s efforts to also bring individuals from across different nations to celebrate and interact with each other for festive occasions, such as when it hosted a diplomatic ball attended by nobility, businesspeople, politicians, and many more from far and wide;

Lauding Ghant’s work in producing a number of lectures designed to help nations navigate ongoings in the multiverse for such events as the various NationStates Symposia and the 2018 The North Pacific-Greater Dienstad Cultural Exchange, said lectures addressing such varied topics as separation of writers from their art, concerted narratives of fiction, and character development consultancy;

Observing, finally, that Ghant, along with Maltropia and Santheres, administers IIWiki, a multiversal encyclopaedia containing over 40000 articles surrounding nations, persons, and notable incidents throughout history;

Believing that the nation of Ghant has been a clear force for good throughout its existence for many years, assisting nations both old and new to deal with calamities and to make their own mark on the multiverse;

The World Assembly hereby commends Ghant.
