Statement by the Queen of Atlantis

[lemmingtopias]

The next item on the agenda is a Statement by the Queen of Atlantis.

Once Her Majesty has made her statement, the other members of this Committee will be welcome to make responses.

I will close this item and move on with the agenda once either all members have had the opportunity to respond, or once a majority of votes have been indicated that we move on.


Your Majesty, I give you the floor.

Ladies and Gentleman,

Thank-you for allowing me to speak on this Committee.

I have recently been made Queen of Atlantis and I look forward to serving her in my role here. You will find me a stern advocate for the interests of my region. However, you will also find me a stern advocate for the interests of the commonwealth community as a whole. These two interests are not contradictory, they are one in the same. Because anything that strengthens Atlantis strengthens this community and anything that strengthens this community strengthens Atlantis.

Atlantis founded this Commonwealth because it believed that regions working together can create a strong community which doesn't weaken the sovereign rights and powers of those regions, but enhances them. Atlantis believes that our best interests lie in becoming more and more integrated into the Commonwealth. I believe that the best interests of the Commonwealth is to become more and more integrated into Atlantis as well. So, I will be arguing, in the coming days, weeks and months, for an ever closer union between the regions and nations that participate in this Commonwealth.

I will also be doing all I can to steer this Committee and the other institutions of the Commonwealth towards developing community. I will be doing all I can to hamper anyone who seeks to establish political machinations for their own sake. All the political institutions of our Commonwealth must serve and facilitate the development of our community and they must do nothing more.

So I say to you, colleagues, lets build our community and only focus on the political institutions when it is necessary for the community.

Finally, in the coming weeks, more and more influence will be given to regions that participate here. That is good, everyone must be able to take ownership of our community. I just ask that you remember the special place for Atlantis in our community and the special contributions it has made to our community culture and to the philopsophical ideals that made this Commonwealth.

We will always be with you and I will do all I can to ensure that Atlantis is an asset to the commonwealth. Just remember, the Commonwealth has to be an asset to Atlantis, and to every other region too.

Thank-you.

*claps hands slowly*

A fine speech, your Majesty.

I too want to see a strong Commonwealth and I too believe that the stronger our regions get the stronger our commonwealth gets, and vice versa.

We disagree on many things, but your ambitions are correct. I will oppose you at every turn, but in doing so we will achieve great things together.

I thank the Queen of Atlantis for her opening Statement and welcome her to this Committee. I am proud that we have honoured Atlantis' unique contribution to our region and look forward to Atlantis' continued contribution to our Commonwealth.

I agree wholeheartedly with the jist of the Queen's statement: A Stronger Commonwealth equals stronger regions. Stronger regions equals a stronger Commonwealth.

It is with regret that I must pause this matter due to a pressing concern. We will return to it shortly. In the mean time, please join me for the next item on the agenda: nscommonwealth.proboards.com/thread/259/alliance-gloria-terrorist-attack

I reopen this topic so that Members of the Committee may respond to the Statement by the Queen of Atlantis.

[Felvor]

I move that we close this item in order to focus on more pressing concerns. Would the Queen of Atlantis be happy with this?
