Minister Takeo Mori, Japans chief diplomat, stands and addressed the members of the convention after they have all arrived and taken seat.

“I stand before you as the representative of the Japanese people in a crucial moment for the history of Japan, and for the history of the World. At this table sits the delegation from the world's three greatest economies, so too does the representation from the worlds greatest energy and raw resources providers sit. Between the nations represented at this table, more than 50% of the worlds wealth is generated, out of the pits of Australia is the Coal mined, out of the Italian extraction wells the liquid natural gas siphoned, out of the Francophone industry the next hundred thousand automobiles, civilian passenger aircraft, space launch vehicle, and a million other goods are forged, out of the Japanese semiconductor facility which produced the chips powering those automobiles, out of the Omani amd Sabmadi oil fields comes the fuel from which those cars produce power, out of Wilwatikan farms comes the sugar, coffee, tea, and other luxuries of modern life. Through this process is the wealth of our nations built and secured, and through this process we all prosper.

This leads us to one conclusion. The wealth and prosperity of our times, the unimaginable prosperity of our era, is a result of an increasingly connected global system, where wealth can be created, instead of destroyed, and traded for, instead of fought over. Japan is an island with very little natural resources, my ancestors sought to establish a powerful Japanese Empire to dominate the pacific, through which we could secure our own resources our wealth and our future. The Empire brought no such fate, and Japan is richer today than it has ever been by the virtue of the principles I have espoused.

Therefore it is the position of Japan, that in order to secure a future more prosperous than even our current day, there should be a convention, a series of protocols, in which the nations at this table, those who generate a majority of the worlds wealth, agree to a system of cooperation, in which the good of all our markets can be traded more freely. We called this convention to come to a set of agreed upon protocols by which we could eliminate barriers of trade, so that Japan can buy cheaper energy from the world, and in return sell cheaper electronic components to the world, in which France can build cars for cheaper due to these lower prices components, and as a result sell more and prosper on its own, in that the Omani people pay less for Coffee, and that the Italian have access to the Japanese semi-conductor market at the same prices as a japanese consumer.

We propose that this convention will be conducted in the following manner, a nation is free to leave at any time, a protocol will be established by those willing by a clear majority of sixty percent. Protocols may be proposed by any member and voted upon by all members, once all members are satisfied with the list of protocols we will hold a vote and sign the convention with the remaining members.

Japan invites anyone else to speak, and humbly requests they voice if they find this scheme agreeable or not, should a majority agree, Japan requests we use this model going forward.”

[Kingdom of Burgundy]

Minister Lachance speaks. "The Francophone Alliance finds your model agreeable enough to move forward making use of it. I presume, Minister, that along with this proposition that Japan has some specific protocols in mind in regards to this convention?"

[Holy Roman Empire]

Minister Wong nods, "These terms seem agreeable so far, I am eager to hear what others have to say on the matter first."

[Kingdom of Sweden]
