Liberate California
A resolution to strike down Delegate-imposed barriers to free entry in a region.

Category: Liberation | Nominee (region): [region]California[/region] | Proposed by: [nation]Liberate California[/nation]



Description: The Security Council:

Illustrating the diverse and distinguished history of the region of [region]California[/region] over the past thirteen years;

Noting that, despite having experienced severe adversity in the form of numerous invasions throughout their history by diabolical forces of evil such as [region]DEN[/region] and [region]The Invaders[/region], the communities of [region]California[/region] have continued to soldier on and maintain an active and impressive regional culture;

Valuing this aforementioned culture far above the self-interests of "defender" groups to "protect" a region by preventing further invasions through the use of an impenetrable wall, which would shut down all culture and activity and effectively obliterate the regional community;

Appalled that the offender militaries of 10000 Islands and Yggdrasil have occupied [region]California[/region] via stealth operation in order to begin the process of wall-building without consultation with long-time native residents such as Cleo and Topaz, Allied States of Demokratia, and Neu California;

Determining that such relentless actions would prove to be ultimately detrimental to the maintenance of community, activity, and culture in the region of [region]California[/region];

Exemplifying these "relentless actions" as the massive ongoing occupation and the forcible ejections of well-meaning native nations such as Valistria from [region]California[/region];

Requesting that the Security Council looks past the deceptive word of "defender" and focuses instead on the preservation of flourishing regional communities; thus, hereby liberates [region]California[/region].

Per our World Assembly Voting Policy, I will be casting a vote FOR, without a citizen vote, as I believe that is most consistent with the regional interests of Osiris.

I am posting this proposal here for our records, and for citizen comment should any citizen wish to do so.


Citizens may vote For, Against, or Abstain. A vote of Abstain is a vote for the Pharaoh to abstain from voting.

Also registering a vote of Nay for the record.

I really, really don't want to see Knot pass a SC resolution. Ever.

In case this was somehow unclear, this is not a voting thread. If it were, our many more raiders and raider-leaning folks would probably be voting For.

But since some have voted and called that into question, I've decided to open this thread to voting. Go nuts.

Just to clarify for my own stuff, I was very much aware that the Pharaoh was voting with discretion to our Foreign Affairs and had no issue with it. My vote was symbolic and nothing more.

I'm in no way calling the vote into question and would also like to point out that citizen voting on WA proposals is something done by the Pharaoh's discretion rather than a requirement.

If we're actually voting though, my vote does stay where it is.

For o.o

Are defenders really trying to decide the region's fate without approval from natives?
