Whereas the Assembly of Lazarus, at the Delegate's request and pursuant to Article I, Section 5 of the Twelfth Mandate of Lazarus, declared war upon the New Pacific Order (NPO) on December 16, 2018;
Whereas Section 2(4) of the Charter of the Lazarene Regional Guard (December 2018) authorizes the Assembly to "enact a resolution empowering the Regional Guard to invade a region that is the ally or protectorate of a region upon which Lazarus has declared war" by two-thirds vote;
Whereas the region St Abbaddon is a formal protectorate of the NPO, established as such by a treaty signed by former Emperor Aleisyr of the NPO, former Consul Pergamon of the NPO, and Delegate Kitsco of St Abbaddon on May 31, 2017, which remains in effect;
Whereas the region Communist Americas is as a protectorate of the NPO, established as such by military force against fascist occupying forces, which has been used by the NPO to spread their insidious Francoist propaganda rather than promotion of an appropriate anti-fascist message;
Whereas the region Azhukali was founded by Milozoldyck, also known as Milograd, a former Senator of the NPO who has maintained loyalty to the NPO for years, and who resigned citizenship in Lazarus at the onset of recent hostilities between Lazarus and the NPO in favor of participation in the NPO;
Whereas Milozoldyck/Milograd has a history of subversive activity in Lazarus on behalf or in what he perceived to be the interests of the NPO, including participation as a Senator in the 2015 New Lazarene Order (NLO) coup of Lazarus;
Whereas, at the time of this resolution's writing, the Delegacy of Azhukali was held by Feux, former Regent of the NPO, who as Delegate of Lazarus engaged in improper purges of Lazarene citizens in 2013 and who as Regent of the NPO established the NPO's support for the NLO in 2015;
Whereas Feux infiltrated Lazarus from 2016-2018 under the pseudonym Adytus, continuing to engage in subversive activity, eventually with the full knowledge of former Emperor Aleisyr and former Consul Pergamon, without disclosure of this identity to Lazarene officials;
Whereas evidence has emerged that Milozoldyck/Milograd, Feux, and some of their associates intended to use Azhukali as a front to continue the same kind of subversive activities against Feeders and Sinkers, potentially including Lazarus, that they engaged in while in the NPO; and
Whereas Milozoldyck/Milograd has once again been declared delete-on-sight, leaving Azhukali founderless and vulnerable to invasion; therefore, let it be
Resolved that the Assembly of Lazarus acknowledges St Abbaddon as a de jure protectorate of the NPO;
Resolved that the Assembly of Lazarus acknowledges Communist Americas as a de facto protectorate of the NPO;
Resolved that the Assembly of Lazarus acknowledges Azhukali as a de facto ally of the NPO;
Resolved that the Assembly of Lazarus hereby empowers the Lazarene Regional Guard to invade St Abbaddon, Communist Americas, and Azhukali, or to participate in another region's or organization's invasions of said regions;
Resolved that it is the non-binding sense of the Assembly of Lazarus that responsible native governance, free of the NPO's imperialist influence, should be restored to St Abbaddon as soon as practical following invasion;
Resolved that it is the non-binding sense of the Assembly of Lazarus that St Abbaddon, one of the few remaining historical founderless regions, should under no circumstances be refounded by the Regional Guard or invading forces supported by the Regional Guard;
Resolved that it is the non-binding sense of the Assembly of Lazarus that an appropriate anti-fascist message should replace the NPO's Francoist propaganda on the World Factbook Entry of Communist Americas as soon as practical following invasion; and further
Resolved that it is the non-binding sense of the Assembly of Lazarus that the historical roleplaying significance of Azhukali should be respected, and that native participation in the region, without the corrupting influence of Feux and his associates, should be permitted as soon as practical following invasion.
