The Vice Chancellor of the schnauzerlands federation goes to a podium. After pausing for a few moments, awaiting quiet, he begins:[/i]
My fellow delegates:
On behalf of the schnauzerlands, we believe that some form of organizational structure in which to discuss regional issues is necessary and would be useful.
Until two years ago, there was no schnauzerlands federation, and the nations that now are part of that federation within the IDU and have found great benefit in working together. We have been able to standardize matters important to transportation, commercial growth, education, international and interregional trade, and other areas important and essential to the health, safety and welfare of the schnauzerlands as a whole.
The savings in expeditures by these processes have far more than paid for the expansion and development the schnauzerlands have seen even in this short period of time.
So i submit to you all that the primary purpose of a intraregional body should be to encourage voluntary cooperation and common standards in our mutual endeavors, whatever those may prove to be over time.
I recall how, when an international crisis all but embarrassed the nations of this Union when several national governments failed creating a humanitarian crisus that sparked a concerted effort of intraregional cooperation and remediation. It pointed the way towards regional cooperation and recognition that regional standards would be necessary in order to efficently address such crisis in the future.
It also underscores to us in the schnauzerlands the importance of regional communication with a view towards voluntary regional cooperation.
We agree that the appropriate representation within such a regional body has to be on the national, and not supernational level. There are several such multi-nation entities here -- the schnauzerlands Federation is one, and the Commonwealth of Keeslandic States for another -- which we believe would not be as appropriate a level of representation as the nations of the IDU, whether admitted or not to the United Nations.
We suggest then the formation of a Union Council, which any or all of the nations of the International Democratic Union may join, to find voluntary solutions and goals. From our experience within the schnauzerlands, such a level of expanding cooperation will enrich this Union.
