"In response to the Strathaen delegation," said Isztenn, "we simply do not believe that free trade would be beneficial for all in attendance. The nations represented here vary widely in terms of income levels and development; free trade has the potential to devastate many of them because of these inequalities. Istkalen specifically relies on strict controls on foreign entries into the country to allow for the continued survival of most of its light industry, an essential part of our economy, which simply cannot compete with the efficiency present in most other countries. We are also opposed to a defense pact simply because - well, we do not believe the international community trusts us in particular with such things."
"In response to the delegation from North DIessen: we do indeed have proposals regarding regulations, aims, and funding of the proposed bank and fund, but we intended to discuss that only after surveying support for our initial proposals. We are, however, happy to answer your questions. Both the proposed development and monetary fund would be funded primarily by contributions from the signatory states; we are opposed to allowing outside factors to contribute. We are slightly hesitant to propose an exact level of contributions at this point; we would like first to hear the opinions on others on this issue. A hypothetical development fund would likely be limited solely to the construction of infrastructure works - ports, roads, aqueducts, power plants and so on - and of industry. Funding for education may also be considered, if other delegations are in support. As for the hypothetical monetary fund, signatories would presumably draw from it as a short-term source of capital to maintain exchange rates and avert crisis. For both, administration would be carried out presumably by a council of delegates of all signatories, on the principle of one-nation, one-vote, in order to prevent manipulation by the richer nations."
