Hey there, Qvist. Nice civilization you got there. It'd be a real shame if anything happened to it.
Whoa, whoa, put the cannon down. I'm not threatening you. I'm talking about *whispers* Watno. I mean, look at that army amassing at our borders. There's a war coming, my friend, mark my words. And any one of us could hear the chilling sound of jet engines passing overhead. Sure, you got a mighty fine military, but they wouldn't stand a chance before the steamroller of Watno.
So, why is this small-town corn-fed nobody approaching you? Because you don't want a war declared on you, my friend, and I have the proposal to make it happen. All it takes is a little Loss of Sovereignty, Qvist, my friend. Oh sure, naysayers may complain about giving up your cultural identity and maybe your civilization will see a lot more fast food restaurants than before, but wouldn't it be worth it for a little peace of mind? Oh, sure, there may still be a little aggression here and there, but boys will be boys, and they wouldn't last long. But war….well, that's a pretty scary prospect.
You may notice that this effort would undermine international tourism with my civilization. Well, surveys indicate that while Galzrialand is a nice place to visit, popular opinion is that people prefer the idea of actually living in an exotic land, and Qvistonia fits that bill!
So, what do you say, Qvist? Loss of Sovereignty is a small price to pay for peace in our time.
