Gorovo Alertz looks at the mess Blanc made on her table. THAT was the leader of the famed Izaakia? He could barely understand how someone so unprofessional could stand in the room with all these other famous leaders, some of which could at least remain calm.

And, that statement she made about kingdoms and other governments certainly didn't endear him. He felt that self-determination applied to a nation's government as well as its borders and peoples. And, he couldn't shake the idea that a stab at Ikaranara was in there. But that could just be his Ikaranarean pride speaking.

Maybe.

"Although she had a rather.. messy explanation, Blanc, although it took her two speeches, has made a significant point in the discussion. We are obsessed with punishing, but preventative measures stop death before it can happen. However, she fails to mention a critical point that could blow the entire idea into the Cordillian Sea. Trust.

In this very room, I see many who plan on stabbing each other in the back. Pacifica is a land of conflict, and that has to be addressed before we can even think of making substantial progress. I don't mean to offend any who I will mention, except, of course, the Junta, but would Izaakia be willing to be economically dependent on the Concordia Entente? Would the reverse be okay with it? Would Ryccia, or the Terrorist Junta, be okay with not having the economic independence to launch a first strike on Izaakia? No! Why take an apple from someone who plans to poison you? If we cannot get over these issues, and a myriad more, friends, this will never be achievable.

Even more so, the current state of the world prevents collective action against each other. I have this strong feeling, that members of the CE would not be willing to act against their own for what Izaakia or Valkryia or any outsider thinks is punishable. No, promising collective action at this stage only serves to push us into political blocs that act together, far more dangerous than any rouge nation. You see the Rouge Junta? Try 10 of them, with 5 RIMs to boot. We cannot claim to act collectively, when half of us can't stand to be in the same room as each other. National cooperation is only possible with reconciliation."
