Description[?]:
| Today, I am here to talk about three crucial words that should be at the center of our foreign policy: Peace. Through. Strength. We want to achieve a stable, peaceful world with less conflict and more common ground. I am proposing a new foreign policy focused on advancing Rildanor’s core national interests, promoting regional stability, and producing an easing of tensions in the world. This will require rethinking the failed policies of the past. We can make new friends, rebuild old alliances, and bring new allies into the fold. We will show the whole world how proud we are to be Rildanorian. Thank you. Paul de Metz Leader of the Alliance Canrillaise |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
