Artanian conference

[Auditorii]

Joachim von und zu Kiesling, General-Plenipotentiary for Artanian Affairs and State Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Kingdom of Dorvik

Our first response is to restore the Artanian Union, perhaps with some changes to address bureaucratic matters. For instance, we believe that a Parliament of the Artanian Union could address issues that face the entire continent while respecting the sovereignty of its members. A parliament would consist of 10 elected MAPs from across each state, if we take the representatives at this conference it would be 70 members. We could require 3/4 support for any binding acts of the Parliament and everything else is non-binding. A 3/4 vote, with 70 members, would be 52 members supporting, 53 if we round up.

It could address high-level issues at regular meetings and coordinate cooperation across the continent within its top-level body, the Supreme Artanian Council. Disputes could be handled between member states at a Court of the Artanian Union. If we desire deeper cooperation and coordination, we could restore the Board of the Artanian Commission and with active members coordinate policies that work for all members, their people and our economies.

We, however, understand that people here would oppose that simply because it comes from Dorvik, not because they often disagree with the Artanian Union as a concept. We think it could work with active input from across its membership and not being seen as some "tool" for one nations domination, which is represents the opposite of.
