The proposal begins by introducing the New South Hell Greater Co-Prosperity Sphere - a collection of around 400 nations with the most notable being the nominee’s existing nation, The Voice of ARB (ARB). The nominee maintained control over 400 uniquely distinct nations they created, 17 of which they further roleplayed and wrote roleplay literature “studying” their interactions.

Beyond their roleplay, ARB was also responsible for creating Ideobots - scripts that ran a nation according to specific values that were gleaned from an examination of NationStates’ then all 300 issues. ARB would create 50 of these Ideobots, each running their own nation.

After describing ARB’s Ideobots, the resolution fishes off by reviewing some of the nominee’s other achievements - such as hosting joint-roleplays with the commended The Skeleton Army or analyzing many other issue-related topics like national descriptions, reports on new national statistics, and examining issue appearance frequencies.

Opinion

This resolution does well.

In terms of rhetoric, it makes a solid case for commendation. Commendable roleplayers are those who push the boundaries of what roleplay can be, to the point wherein their roleplays give enjoyment and inspiration to others - certainly something a roleplayer with such a unique and involved method of roleplay like ARB has done. Beyond this, the resolution’s mention of other impressive ARB feats - like their Ideobots, exploration of the technology behind issues, and many joint-roleplays with the The Skeleton Army marks ARB as a nation unafraid to experience NationStates in a manner most nations never will.

The resolution’s narration is not slacking either - its heavy roleplay style written (per the author’s words) to emulate ARB’s roleplay style pays excellent homage to the nominee, as well as making the resolution a highly interesting read. In addition, this narrative style further entrenches roleplay-focused narration (pioneered by Condemn Gholgoth) as a great potential tool for future authors to utilize in their writing of non-RP related proposals - a beneficial precedent to further entrench in the Security Council.

Whatever the case, there is no doubt that The Voice of ARB is a highly unique nation, of a kind NationStates may very well never see again. Their highly involved style of roleplay and their exploration of issues in a time when relatively little technology existed is nothing short of extraordinary, and worthy of recognition.

Recommendation: As such, the Refugi Office of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote FOR “Commend The Voice Of ARB”.
