The following is an official address from the Prime Minister of The Incorporated States of DJ_Enduro (I.S.D.)
"Good afternoon fellow leaders of nations, fellow UN members and fellow homo-sapiens.
I, DJ Enduro, and the 7 million people that comprise our nation have decided to allow other nations into the boundaries of our region so that we may all achieve some of our common goals as well as a little protection.
First of all let me introduce myself. My name is Tom, my alias is DJ Enduro for assumabley obvious reasons and, although prime minister of a nation named after my own stage name, I am just an average fellow appointed to office by average folks. I am down to earth and don't let the power of such grand office get to my head. I've never forgotten where I come from and I damn sure will never forget where my nation is headed. I do realize, however, that most goals cannot be achieved by one nation alone. Heretofore, I introduce to you my region: The 420 Belt.
Although the people of I.S.D. are a peaceful folk we are by no means stupid. There is a power and strength in numbers that is undeniably necessary when dealing with more hostile nations. As a mostly neutral nation it is against the majority of our foreign policies to be the aggressor when it comes to international conflicts. There are situations in which war may be declared by our nation, but the situations involved in such decision making are highly unlikely and mostly improbable. That doesn't stop more aggressive nations from trying to interfere with our peace, however, and we're seeking complimentary nations to form a defensive alliance of peace-seeking peoples.
Allow me to lay out the requirements for joining our region. These rules & regulations are compulsory and an ignorance of regional law is by no means an immunity to such. National laws may vary wildly, but these few regional laws must be applicable to all nations at all times or you risk rejection & expulsion from our region.
Rule #1: At no time may you show hostility to any nation within our region. This is a region of alliance and we will not tolerate any tom-foolery amongst our peoples. Any act of war or crime against another nation within the region will result in you being immediately and unhonorably discharged.
Rule #2: All nations must be or become a member of the UN within 7 business days of joining the region. The reason for this is that the UN is a genius tool of intentional necessity. The decisions made within the forum of the UN tend to be for the betterment of mankind. Should the UN pass legislation that is in conflict with regional ruling then a regional poll & vote will be taken to decide whether or not our nations will remain members of the UN.
Rule #3: All nations must legalize or at the very least, decriminalize, the production, cultivation, sales and consumption of marijuana. It doesn't take much genius to realize both the social benefits as well as the medical benefits of such product. Since our nation's economy relies strongly on this cash crop it will be imperative to us that our fellow allies are on the same page as us with this issue. It may seem like a minute issue in comparison to the grand scale of things but it's our cash crop and it's very important to us.
Rule #4: If any changes are made to the regional rulings all nations contained within the region will be dutifully notified. All nations within the region will be expected to make the changes required to be in compliance with the regional rules or expulsion will result. You will have 7 business days to conform to any new regional rulings.
Now that the rules have been lain out for you all you have to do is contact me. You will need a password to gain access to our lovely region, so please send me a telegram and I will re-communicate most expeditiously.
Best of luck to all applying nations. Not all nations will be excepted."
After his address the PM displays the V for victory and dismounts the stage. Rushing to his chopper on the heliport, he looks back at the crowd with tears in his eyes.
Main stream media claims the tears were due to a non-contagious eye disease the PM had developed while traveling his own nation. The liberal media claims that he felt the power of his own speech so strongly that it brought him to tears. The remaining media, who have no political agendas to speak of, know that they were tears of hope. Hope that, if fortunate enough, a few lonely nations will join his region and climb the ladder of greatness alongside a fearless leader of a regret-less nation.
