Category: Commendation

Nominee: Severisen

Proposed by: Xoriet

The Security Council:

Recognizing that Severisen has contributed to NationStates in many ways and that not all of them have been known or recognized by the community abroad in the over fourteen years as a nation.

Revealing that their contributions to the world did not begin with The Black Hawks:

Understanding that, as a native of the region of Catholic, they were a long-term resident for those fourteen years. For twelve years, Severisen, as Devoted Decons, worked tirelessly for the protection and activity of this community. This includes:

• Being part of a resistance against the occupation of Catholic by DEN and The Black Hawks in 2012.
• Working tirelessly to aid defenders in their efforts to liberate the region from the enemy by rallying the region and its inhabitants against their invasion.
• Serving as Delegate for a year and further improving security during this time.
• Serving as Counselor, a position tasked with getting people to ratify the Constitution and endorse the Delegate as a matter of safety, from 2009 to 2011.
• Monitoring the communities of raiders in order to look out for the region by searching in their midst for any threats aimed at Catholic.
• Repealing SC Proposal #80: Liberate Catholic in order to restore the ability of natives to defend themselves against future invader incursions.
• At last taking up the role of the Founder nation, Saint Michael The Archangel, after the region was refounded by Devoted Decons and the other natives.

Illuminating that the nation, which then came to be known as Severisen, later spread their contributions beyond Catholic and took up such high military positions in larger regions as Marshal General of the Sekhmet Legion of Osiris, Amiral of the Jomsvikings of Balder, and Overseeing Officer of the Eastern Pacific Sovereign Army of The East Pacific.

Explaining that Severisen in those positions contributed to a diverse array of operations that benefited in some cases the regions, and in others the entirety of the international community. Such operations to benefit the community involved liberating regions under occupation by raiders and fascists. An operation of note was the defense of the European Union from an invasion by The Black Hawks, The Black Riders, the Europeian Republican Navy, and the United Imperial Armed Forces.

Acknowledging that Severisen’s contributions to regions after a span of ten years in Catholic alone began in The Black Hawks, where they served as a member of the Council of Hawks. Their work in The Black Hawks over the years includes training and recruitment and, later, intelligence and security.

Recalling that Severisen also was part of an effort to uncover the return of a banished nation to The Black Hawks in late 2014. They contributed to revealing that same nation's attempt to infiltrate The East Pacific.

Furthing recalling that Severisen also served as Il-Khan for Lone Wolves United in the same capacity under the name Abenthy.

Emphasizing that one of Severisen’s greatest achievements was their tenure in Osiris over a period of over four years as Detective Figs, serving most particularly as a member of Osiris’ Security Council after the formation of the first Osiris Fraternal Order before taking the helm in 2014 as Delegate and Pharaoh in a time of need in Osiris.

Demonstrating that their time spent as Pharaoh became a defining moment in the Osiris Fraternal Order’s history, their work as the leader of Osiris contributing immensely to Foreign Affairs and internal stability, as they were undoubtedly the most successful and active Delegate of the Osiris Fraternal Order at that time.

Observing that under Severisen, a treaty between Osiris and The East Pacific as well as a non-aggression pact with The Rejected Realms were negotiated and signed. Good relations with all existing allies were maintained under Severisen’s reign.

Mindful that Severisen has served as a mediator between many nations and regions in times of conflict, spreading peace across the NationStates community through their reliability, trustworthiness, and competence. Such mediation resulted in the reestablishment of cooperation between nations in their times of conflict, and in such diplomatic feats as the aforementioned contribution to a non-aggression pact between two ideologically polar regions: Osiris and The Rejected Realms.

Underlining that Severisen’s mediation skills contributed in negotiations between ideologically different parties during the discussion on terms of cooperation in regards to the liberation of Anne Frank from Nazi Europa.

Wishing to correct a common community oversight as to contributions from less flashy nations by many by bringing to light the full nature of Severisen’s work for communities for well over a decade.

Hereby Commends Severisen.
