Security Council Resolutions
Since the rise of the World Assembly from the ashes of its predecessor, the Bureaucracy That Cannot Be Named, WA member nations have worked tirelessly to improve the standard of the world. That, or tried to force other nations to be more like them. But that's just semantics.
Below is every World Assembly resolution ever passed.

Security Council Resolution # 336
Commend The Western Isles
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.
The Security Council,
Noting that The Western Isles (TWI) has for over five years fostered a vibrant, thriving community of nations with immense participation in the realms of diplomacy, trade relations, collaborative unions, and the proliferation of mass media;
Applauding the welcoming attitude that new nations are introduced to upon entering TWI, as demonstrated by:
The numerous well-written guides for nations to build and maintain (for example) thriving economies, militaries, and foreign relations networks,
An active, well-equipped system of regional mentors to assist nations in their rise to prosperity, and
The existence of the International District, a neutral and open forum for nations and regional representatives to discuss international relations, seek and give advice on nationbuilding, and introduce new nations to TWI's diplomatic scene;
Hailing TWI's diplomatic spirit as demonstrated by the formation of these notable regional socioeconomic unions and alliances:
The League, a complementary intraregional organ to the World Assembly that aims to maintain regional peace and stability, and to facilitate international relations, alliances, as well as policy-guiding treaties and initiatives,
The Cooperative Union (CU), a political and economic union intended to promote socioeconomic stability which is also TWI's largest economic bloc,
The Regional Trade and Economic Agreement (RTEA), which aims to provide a credible forum for member nations to negotiate matters pertaining to all aspects of their respective economies and trade affairs, as well as to collectively strengthen their economies, and
The Eterna-Argean Friendship Accords (EAFA), a cooperative agreement between the nations within and bordering the Eterna and Argean Seas that seeks to foster a sense of camaraderie and mutual trust, as well as to establish protocols for shared jurisdiction over their respective Seas;
Saluting the formation of these notable defense organizations and forces as a means to guarantee regional security:
The Mesder Sea Treaty Organization (MSTO), an intergovernmental military alliance which has fostered immense technological advancement and wielded much political influence within TWI,
The Coalition of Free Nations (COFN), an intergovernmental military and socioeconomic pact which has fostered peace, stability, and development within TWI,
The Argean Rapid Response Force (ARRF), a rapid engagement military force comprised of specialized units from the nations of Vancouvia, Noronica, and Ostehaar that aims to respond swiftly to threats and hostile maneuvering in the age of modern warfare, and
The Raedlon Organization of States (ROS), a military and socioeconomic alliance of nations within the Raedlon peninsula intended to provide mutual defense and foster economic relations and stability between member states;
Impressed by the exceptionally high prevalence and influence of these intraregional organizations within TWI, a region of just under 170 nations;
Cognizant of TWI's collective resolve in pursuing peace after the intraregional Second Imperial War, an accomplishment made all the more remarkable by the significant ideological divide between the Eastern Union of Socialist Republics (EUSR) and the MSTO, the two warring parties;
Praising TWI for their initiative, vision, and leadership in hosting the Western Isles Climate Response Council, a non-partisan intergovernmental organization which aims to perform research on alternative energy production sources and help nations respond to climate change;
Admiring TWI's dedication to disseminating journalism on a global scale via The Western Isles News, a non-profit media news cooperative that aggregates articles from newspapers across the region and distributes them to a large audience both within and beyond TWI;
Appreciating TWI's commitment to promoting the creative arts with the Citizens of The Isles, a creative writing publisher sponsored and maintained by a decentralized cooperative of TWI residents;
Hopeful that this resolution will encourage other regions to emulate the distinguished, honorable example The Western Isles has forged;
Hereby commends The Western Isles.

Security Council Resolution # 337
Repeal: “Commend The Holy Principality of Saint Mark”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
Security Council Resolution #302 “Commend The Holy Principality of Saint Mark” shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The Security Council,
Recognising the work of The Holy Principality of Saint Mark (hereinafter referred to as Saint Mark) in the West Pacific and other regions, and the respect they command across these regions,
Regretting, however, that their actions and impact were painted in an inaccurate and incomplete light in their commendation, due to the presence of vague, unsubstantiated claims, and the citation of many actions that are dubious in terms of creating a lasting positive impact,
Noting that their actions in introducing the new Imperial culture and amending the Manners of Governance of the West have failed to confer a lasting positive impact on the West Pacific, and were in fact reversed by their immediate successor as Delegate,
Frustrated that their work in Albion was not explained in context of the culture or history of the now-inactive region, thus failing to prove the significance of the work,
Confused by the citation of their contributions to The Sasquatch Republic, given that the region has never exceeded 25 nations in population and is entirely unremarkable in the greater world,
Challenging the citation of their service as Arbiter in the Conclave of The East Pacific in the commendation, given that their only action as Arbiter was their resignation in which they apologised for their inattention after an Advisory Question was filed,
Observing that during their tenure as the longest serving Priest of Osiris, they had presided over just a single case in the Council of Priests, and that it remains the only case to have been ruled on by the Council of Priests its over two years of existence, a fact which betrays their lack of accomplishment in the position and the limited utility of the judicial system which they had crafted, which was incompatible with the system of government in Osiris,
Disappointed by the erroneous description of Saint Marks assistance in forming the News Partnership Framework which established the governance and goals of the NSToday organization, as the governance and goals of the organization are detailed in its Charter, not the News Partnership Framework,
Further noting that the News Partnership Framework, the establishment of which Saint Mark was credited with assisting, was never publicly explained throughout its existence, and later required renegotiation with all previous partners, due to its ineffectiveness and lack of benefits to participating regions, as admitted by NationStates Todays then-Public Relations Director,
Questioning, therefore, the effectiveness of the News Partnership Framework in promoting the development of news media in partnered regions, and thus its benefit to the media scene in NationStates at large,
Exasperated further that the commendation failed to go into sufficient detail concerning the alleged achievements of Saint Mark in many cases, including:
What kind of internal reform they encouraged in The Pacific, how it was achieved, which regions in the conflict involving The Pacific they helped reach accord;
How they [responded] to events both internal and external in a thoughtful, reasoned way as Delegate of the West Pacific; and
Their efforts at "protecting and guiding new nations" in Karma;
Concluding that due to the above failures present in the resolution, it does not sufficiently prove its thesis that Saint Mark was a leader in many aspects of the world,
Hereby repeals SC#302 Commend The Holy Principality of Saint Mark.

Security Council Resolution # 338
Commend Verdant Haven
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.
The Security Council,
Aware of the existence of plots and schemes that threaten to tear apart nations across the multiverse,
Admiring Verdant Havens continuous efforts and repeated success in identifying and bringing these conspiracies to light through a series of far-reaching operations, such as:
Operation #1130 (Flash Crash Cash Dash), which pinpointed the origin of a sudden crash and subsequent rise in the stock market of countless nations,
Operation #1155 (The Banquet of Walnuts), which brought to light acts of misconduct perpetrated by religious leaders involving dancing and a disturbing quantity of walnuts,
Operation #1224 (Shine On, You Crazy Diamond), which unveiled several invaluable diamonds as lab-created and passed off as real by illicit dealers,
Operation #1243 (Kicking Back), which revealed the corrupt activities of numerous judges, who sent inmates to select private prisons in exchange for money,
Operation #1409 (Happy Pranksgiving!), which put a spotlight on collateral damage caused by the reckless antics of TV-show pranksters,
Operation #1410 (Lives On-Line), which exposed a series of terrorist threats towards AI-run hospitals demanding a ransom in exchange for the decryption keys to said hospitals,
Observing that the region of Forest has made great strides in fostering care for the environment, promoting intellectual thought, and contributing to other communities, which ultimately resulted in their commendation,
Recognising Verdant Havens numerous contributions to Forest during their two terms as Forest Keeper, including:
the implementation of the Conscience of Forest position to oversee and expand Forests monthly environmental action program,
boosting regional involvement through organising regional activities and competitions such as the Annual Photo Contest as well as heading Forests Crystal Jubilee Flag Design Contest, which celebrated Forests fifteenth anniversary as a region,
reforming the foreign affairs branch with the formation of the Diplomatic Root position to oversee and run the regions ambassadorial program, the appointment of several new ambassadors, and the creation of 5 new embassies,
Noticing Verdant Havens dedication to ensuring an open and honest government, reflected in their introduction and continued publication of monthly Government Transparency Reports, in which they provide a regular and thorough update on the state of the region during their time as Forest Keeper,
Applauding Verdant Havens efforts in streamlining the constitution of Forest through two separate constitutional amendments, which simplified the diplomatic process and allowed for the appointment of temporary regional officers in the case of an extraordinary circumstance,
Acclaiming Verdant Haven for their contributions to this very body, most notably their co-authorship of General Assembly Resolution #522 Repeal Protecting Sites of Religious Significance, which repealed a flawed and overreaching resolution that prevented the exhumation of any grave that contains the body of a practitioner or a present religion for any purpose,
Saluting Verdant Havens remarkable service to Forest and the international community at large, believing that such dedication should be formally recognised by this body, and hoping that such recognition should serve as further incentive for the continuation of their work, hereby:
Commends Verdant Haven.

Security Council Resolution # 339
Repeal: “Commend The Western Isles”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
Security Council Resolution #336 “Commend The Western Isles” shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The Security Council,
Certain that the main problem with Commend the Western Isles is that its predominantly a laundry list of treaties the Western Isles made. Any region can make treaties, but SC#336 does not contextualize them or explain why those treaties are of any note,
Elaborating that the organization of Commend the Western Isles sabotages itself; it is merely a list of treaty names, none of which are elaborated on beyond an encyclopedic, dispassionate description which fails to adequately convey why the treaties are impressive or stray from the norm,
Concluding that the hailing and saluting clauses the clauses which refer to the treaties of the Western Isles and make up the bulk of the commendation are merely pieces of fluff that fill space and say nothing about the Western Isles. Such fluff is characteristic of the proposal, and can also be found in the following clauses:
The applauding clause cites a welcoming attitude and certain helpful resources, such as a guide and mentor nations, which fail to set the Western Isles apart from a typical region. If these guides and mentorship programs are unique or particularly impressive, SC#336 failed to explain why,
The applauding clause also commends the Western Isles for having a forum for nations to talk in, a typical practice among many regions that's certainly nowhere near commendable or special,
The appreciating clause, which discussed Citizens of The Isles failed to explain what this creative writing publisher was or what made it special the same could perhaps be said of its mention of the Western Isles News,
Noting that the aforementioned clauses make up all but the entirety of SC#336, and there is hardly anything substantive left in SC#336 to comment on,
Noticing the ridiculous impressed clause which implies that the Western Isles is small, a claim thats not only wrong, but detracts from the idea that the Western Isles is important,
Unimpressed by the drafting of SC#336 Commend the Western Isles, whose author mistakenly attempted to rush the proposal to the floor of the Security Council, went silent whenever a nation provided constructive criticism, ignored or gave curt, unsubstantive responses to virtually every genuine question from voters, and failed to change the proposal very much in an absurd twelve drafts,
Finding a final blow to Commend the Western Isles in the fact that of the few nations which voiced support for SC#336 in the public drafting area, many did so while admitting that the proposal was too poorly written for their liking, implying that the Western Isles is respected, but the same nations which respect it feel SC#336 did not do it justice,
Concluding that SC#336 failed to provide beyond a shred of evidence of the Western Isles commendability in its pile of fluff, and if the region is commendable, a much more convincing proposal has to be created,
Hereby repeals SC#336 Commend the Western Isles.

Security Council Resolution # 340
Commend Singapore no2
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.
Observing that national leaders constantly face a barrage of dilemmas where they have to make prompt decisions to resolve, lest their nation dissolve into complete chaos,
Recognising the many nations that dedicate countless hours into assisting these leaders in resolving issues by presenting several options,
Praising one such helpful nation, Singapore no2, for hitting the ground running with their unyielding efforts in aiding national leaders in resolving multiple international foreign affairs conflicts,
Extolling Singapore no2 for helping to resolve a dispute instigated by aggressive archipelagic nation Macronesia, Affirmative Election?, where ethnic Macronesians picketed outside government offices to protest the lack of ethnic minorities in national governments. Singapore no2ean diplomats helped to bring forth all of the protesters' demands in a clear way which paved the way for national leaders to quickly make a decision and be able to return to grocery shopping,
Applauding Singapore no2 for the way they dealt with the international incident Externalities Palmed Off, where a thick smog engulfed a group of coastal nations due to a developing country (later revealed to be Macronesia) burning large amounts of forests for land. Singapore no2 assembled a team of their top meteorologists to examine weather patterns, and from that data they presented several options for nations to deal with the issue, such as applying diplomatic pressure or building a protective dome around the country. This intervention likely saved billions of citizens from lung disease,
Noting that these incidents were still not the end of Macronesias hostility, nor were they the end of Singapore no2 attempting to stop these antics. In the event dubbed A Plank Too Far, Macronesian ministers declared that pirates in several nations were plundering their ships and pledged to sink any foreign vessel that entered their waters, disrupting maritime trade. Singapore no2ean diplomats once again convened to facilitate international peace negotiations between the swashbuckling sea dogs and Macronesian officials, pacifying the situation,
Appreciating Singapore no2 for interceding in the dispute between nations and Macronesian durian farmers during the event dubbed Putrid Predicament, where Macronesian durians (and their pungency) flooded public transport in foreign nations, causing people to suffocate. Singapore no2ean food critics mediated the situation by conducting a smell test on the durians and determining the best course of action nations should take regarding the situation,
Thanking Singapore no2 for not only helping nations deal with Macronesia, but also for their efforts in protecting nations from the belligerent nation Bigtopia during the crisis A Blast from the Past, who had attempted to exploit nations by offering to deactivate landmines which were deployed due to their previous warmongering actions. Singapore no2ean weapons enthusiasts (who had previously resolved an issue involving 3D-printed firearms) offered national leaders a variety of other options they could choose to be rid of the landmines, preventing more innocent children from exploding,
Lauding Singapore no2 for their quick thinking in preventing nations from being extorted for their money by economic superpower Dàguó after a clumsy advisor accidentally shattered a priceless artefact in the event dubbed Like a Bull in a Dàguó Shop. Singapore no2ean weapons enthusiasts examined the viability of the situation and recommended that a duel between the advisor and the emperor could best resolve the situation, preventing nations from losing millions of their currency or facing sanctions,
Recognising that in addition to these large scale crises, Singapore no2 has also successfully resolved 22 other issues, ranging from abuse of shared property ('A Problem Shared') to the dangers of prehistoric zoos ('Who Let The Dinos Out?'),
Noticing that Singapore no2 successfully resolved such a large amount of issues in an astoundingly short period of time that they were internationally recognised as one of the most prolific issues solvers in the world, no easy feat,
Revering the wisdom (and humour) possessed by the official representatives of Singapore no2 during their engagements with the international community, making sure that other international problems can be solved in a clear manner,
Applauding Singapore no2 for their non-issues related contributions, such as securing their vulnerable and previously invaded region Singapore from foreign invasion by utilising security measures such as passwords while still allowing new nations to join the region (a system similar to the commended region Hell), and
Convinced that Singapore no2 has broken the mould and has undeniably made the world a better place through their actions, and deserve to be commended by this body,
