Swiss Confederation
President Dietrich has decided to make a national address at his home in Bern. Dozens of news teams cover the speech, and some broadcasts may be recorded for international television. While a few guards have to brush away a few anxious reporters and a few sketchy looking teens, the atmosphere is quite peaceful. He clears his voice and begins his speech, of course with a few translators nearby for those who don't speak his native German.
"People of the nation, it is an honor to be addressing you. For I see you not as my political pawns, but as my peers. For I know that to enrich the nation and push my agenda, It would be all in vain if I don't hear your opinions!
We, the people, have received letters of interest from both Washington and Ottawa. They wish to know more about our peace organization. And for those tourists or politicians in the audience, I will tell you just that!
First, I shall answer one of Canada's questions. They wish to know what will be required of them and the goals of the movement-fair enough. Well, nothing will really be required of them except vows of somewhat neutrality unless there is a nation that has a bad or no casus belli for war yet do declare it. They will receive aid from us in that event, but if they participate in any other war we wont attack nor will we help. In turn for their help during such a war as I mentioned earlier in which a nation has no good reason to do such, we shall supply grain, something we are having a good amount of these days. The goal of our organization is to prevent another world war. We have seen what has happened in their aftermath-debt, war, and suffering. Suffering of the people, suffering of the veterans, suffering of all.
Now on to our next issue. For a long time Switzerland has not been united in a language. Some of us speak French, some German, and even others Italian. But now the government feels that we should merge these languages into our own. This is not to confuse the older generation, it is simply to unite the populace. No more will we need several national news stations for each language we speak. Thus, we shall hold a referendum in the following weeks to decide whether we shall go through with this."

He pauses for a moment, the crowd in an uproar with applause and praise
"While I am saddened that my modernization of our army initiative wasn't very popular, I hope it is good to know that we have managed to get a few more modern weapons in our arsenal for when and if they are needed. I am very confident in our fair nation, and I hope you are just as happy. This meeting is dismissed"
He says as he bows to the audience, a few camera screens flashing and a few recordings ending.
