[PASSED] Commend New Makasta

The Security Council,

Introducing the nation of New Makasta, longtime veteran of The League & Concord that has served their home region and the broader multiverse with selflessness and strength for years,

Grateful that New Makasta entered active service to The League’s Defense Forces (LDF) in March 2021, where the fledgling new defender army benefited greatly from their energy and they were rapidly promoted to Colonel. New Makasta’s vigor earned them a promotion to General of the Defense Forces in May 2021, a position they hold to this day, having been awarded nineteen LDF honors for their efforts,

Inspired by New Makasta’s accomplishments as General of the LDF, including holding an LDF record of 1,175+ deployments, and overseeing relentless recruitment of new members and mentorship of new officers, such as DinoNet, a nation that served alongside New Makasta as their successor to the Colonel rank,

In awe at New Makasta’s service record as a staple of defending across operations large and small, totalling over 16,000 operations including 146 liberations, 107 sieges, and 11 occupations at the time of writing,

Asserting that New Makasta has been an invaluable contributor to many victories experienced by the LDF and broader defenderdom throughout their tenure of service, taking a leading role in operations such as:

  • Liberation of Trovons in 2021, where New Makasta aided in the re-popularization of civilian outreach for major operations within the LDF and broader defending, allowing defenders to win a resounding victory that prevented occupations from becoming viable for another several months,
  • Liberation of China in 2021, seeing a then-unprecedented performance by defenders, where twenty members of the LDF leapt into action in no small part due to New Makasta’s contributions to civilian mobilization,
  • Protection of the LDF’s allies in Warzone Sandbox in 2021, where New Makasta utilized border control absent any technological assistance to curtail the largest invasion attempt of the year,
  • Sieges of England in 2023, where despite overall losses, New Makasta was a dependable rallying presence and the LDF had a jaw-dropping fifty-two unique members participate in part due to their efforts,
  • Liberation of South Pacific in 2023, where defenders freed the region in one update with overwhelming force in part due to New Makasta’s rallying of forces,

Admiring New Makasta’s service to anti-invader operations, where as General of the LDF, they served as a regional officer in the invasion of Islamic States in 2023. Later that same year they would be an essential part of Operation Red October’s invasion of Solidarity, again serving as a regional officer and supporting tactical measures to make any sieges fruitless, ensuring both operations were completed efficiently and without flaw,

Praising New Makasta’s initiative and poise in offensive engagements, where they served as a regional officer in three major anti-fascist operations throughout 2022, all of which had a lasting impact on the well-being and safety of the world. In Sanctum, pre-refound Concord, and Confederacy of Layem, New Makasta’s efforts and willingness to commit accelerated the destruction of these pits of hate,

Justly recognizing New Makasta’s internal contributions to The League & Concord where they aided in establishing a manual recruitment program and have consistently funded regional government initiatives using their vast wealth in international artwork. For years, New Makasta ensured recruiters were aptly rewarded for their efforts with high-value cards, contributing to the program’s growth and the overall prosperity of the regions,

Appreciating New Makasta’s contributions to The League & Concord’s Domestic Security Bureau, where their military experience has been invaluable to the security of the Concord Frontier. In addition to consistent input and advise, New Makasta aided in ensuring LDF standing orders protected the safety of Concord at all times,

Lauding New Makasta’s feats in collecting international artworks - despite intense competition throughout the multiverse, they have compiled a deck that ranks highly amongst the world’s most valuable, and have further contributed to the arts scene through:

  • Briefly holding the most valuable collection of artworks in the world during a period of market instability,
  • Amassing thousands of copies of the world’s most valuable and rarest artworks, including completed collections of all third edition artworks designated as Legendary or Epic,
  • Developing two collections that required great attention to detail and manual labor in their development, each featuring the artwork of over one-thousand nations with artistically similar flags,

Believing New Makasta to be a state of unrivaled eccentricity and loyalty, embodying the values and resolve of only the most admirable nations,

Hereby commends New Makasta.
