Dame Diane Smith, Her Imperial Majesty's Foreign Minister, Empire of Ananto and KalistanAt the risk of speaking out of turn, I beg your forgiveness, and will take the censure from the Body. But I literally have just this one thing to say and then I have to catch a plane back to Kalistan to carry on with business as usual.
I was ordered by Her Imperial Majesty, The Empress of Ananto and Kalistan, My Lady Nicolette I to attend this conference to represent the Non Aligned Movement. We are a free organization of states fundamentally opposed to the notion of power blocs and externally dictated world orders. Kalistan will not be participating in anything this conference decides, just like we have abstained from participation in the World Congress. That institution was a puppet organization of Great Powers who sought to use it to promote their own parochial interests. It is up to you all to ensure that this doesn't turn into just a clone of that.
With all due respect to our gracious host, the proposal on the floor currently is horrible. I join with other delegations, both great and not so great, in saying that this proposal is unworkable at best, and quite evil at worst. The notion that some states are more important than others, that those states should be able to carve the world up into little spheres of influence and should be cemented in place as regional hegemons, or something like that, is rather offensive, and the idea that their interests should take any precedence over the interests of those who are not crowned "major powers" by this conference is downright destabilizing. Kalistan won't observe that scheme any further than we can throw it.
Her Imperial Majesty hopes that this conference is able to come up with a better plan for the world Order. In the meanwhile, I would, on behalf of her Imperial Majesty, invite all states who are left completely out of that structure, to join organizations like the Non Aligned Movement, which are not regional power blocs or collective security agreements, and take a principled stand against the very notion of the great power politics that our Gracious and most Honorable host has unfortunately laid on the floor at this conference. The Non Aligned Movement seeks to offer states an opportunity to coordinate their efforts without concern for the interests of one power or one hegemon overriding what we know we can do together. We are not pawns in their games. We ought not be used or even seen as that. The Interests of every nation in this world should matter far more to that nation than the needs and whims of the Great States.
While Great Powers are a necessary part of this conversation, Kalistan has no reason to continue to take part in it. The Empress is pleased to read that so many delegations here have spoken out against that very concept.
She has given me three further tasks to discharge here:
1. She has ordered me to offer His Imperial Highness the Son of Heaven fraternal greetings, a wish of good will and good fortune from the Sovereign and People of the Empire of Ananto and Kalistan, and express her sincere wish for deeper relations between our two nations in the near future.
2. She has bid me to express the same to the Sovereign of Lourenne, though she knows that the relationship between The Empire and the United Kingdom has been cooler recently than it has further in the past, for example, when Catherine was still Queen, she would like to mend this relationship sooner rather than later.
And
3. She would like to invite you all to Ananto for a little conference of our own about establishing a Terran Monetary Unit that a) will reference the national currency of no individual country, and b) can therefore serve as an external standard to set the values of our own national currencies against. We can all be certain of the value of such a device, and would like to form an international TMU regime which will allow our own governments to evaluate the value of our currency for better comparison against other currencies.
We thank you for your time and your indulgence. My diplomatic obligations discharged, I bid our Gracious Host, The Son of Heaven a fond farewell and hope to meet again.
