"So, what do you make of it?", Berlusca sighed, throwing yet another piece of chewing tobacco into the bin. "A UN uniting Earth? That sounds a lot like a far fetched fiction novel, given the equivalent that we knew." Niemann, sitting at the other end of the table, scratched her head. "I make of it that the UVP is going to have a field day with this..."
"I am not commenting on that, you know.", Teller, the council member belonging to the UVP, replied. "But given the current state of public discourse, the Assembly is probably going to favor option C." "And what would that be, exactly? Can you remind me?", Friedrich Junter, another extremely tired council member, asked, while pouring himself hit 17th recaf cup within the last 12 hours.
"Oh, option C is the one where we tell them that we appreciate their enthusiams, but politely tell them to sod off if they think they can tell us what to do.", Teller replied. "As opposed to...?", Junter asked again. "Option A, telling them we like where they're going with that speech, and Option B, just telling them to fuck off outright."
"Right... do we have the drafts done?", Berlusca asked, also tired. Another council member nodded. "Right, then send them to the assembly. It's their decision."

A few hours later
Dear nations of this new Earth, this is the government of the Alpine Union speaking. Some of you may know the region we reside in as 'Switzerland', or alternatively, 'Upper Swabia'. In fact, the Swiss Confederation is our nation's direct predecessor.
There are likely many questions as to why the Confederation is our predecessor, of course. To summarize, the Union is the product of a major occurence in human history: The violent first contact with and subsequent invasion of Earth by an alien nation, more specifically, the 'Universal Union'. This happened roughly 40 years ago, and we only survived the near genocide of humanity which occured in the process, by going underground, quite literally. Considering our situation now, however, we have decided to perhaps leave our isolationist past behind us, a little. We are open to messages and diplomatic offers, if you wish to send them our way.
Concerning the so-called United Nations Oceania Administrative Zone, we will make ourselves clear - we have been part of the UN in our history, until its forcible dissolution during the invasion mention earlier. However, this UN was merely a supranational agency, a forum to discuss and solve world problems, not a nation. Thus, we neither recognize your claim to planetary jurisdiction, nor any of your laws, resolutions or courts, outside of your borders. Should the UN Oceania Administrative Zone attempt to enforce these on us without our consent, there will be an appropriate response.
