The Following is the address made by Melina Mercury on behalf of Apollopoli at the Developing Nations Summit, Golden Agate. It marked the creation of the Developing Nation Aid Commission.


"The world is an unfair, injust, and corrupt stage upon which all nations are merely players. The larger nations have found ways to push all other smaller, lesser developed nations into smaller roles, with less lines to say. It is for this reason that all these smaller less developed nations must form a collective force that will enhance their standing on the stage of the political world. Coming from a nation were equality among people is the highest principle, we are dissappointed that the world lacks equality among nations. This inequality has only served to further the evils of capitalism while suppressing the cultures, economies, and lives of the poor.

"Apollopoli is willing to work hand in hand with all developing nations no matter their development in the fields of civil and political rights. Economic development and equality on the world stage is the root to developing the basic human rights of all civilians on Earth.

"Apollopoli will create a fund that will assist all developing nations in urgent need of aid, such as disaster relief or food shortage. This will be governed by a committee of government representatives and representatives from non-government organisations. A fund will also be set up in honor of all civilians of developing nations who have died because of the lack of basic human right brought about by the capitalist nature of the world economy. This fund will award Ten Billion Apollonian each year to the developing nation that is in most need of developmental aid.

"Apollopoli stands by our belief that all aid given to nations should be without clauses, and asking for repayments is a cruel act that will cause greater suffering to the people of that nation. It is for that reason that we will give all aid as gifts. To prevent the funds from being squandered by corrupt regimes, Apollopoli has created the Developing Nation Aid Commission (DNAC). DNAC will distribute aid within the nation of interest, according to internal need and developing standards. It will serve to limit the costs to any government of a developing Nation. DNAC will have to two subsidiary divisions. One will co-operate with nations, to share knowledge of sustainable development such as efficient land-practices and environmental protection. The other division will assist immediate response to disasters and help solely with the distribution aid.

"We hope that all nations will be willing to co-operate with Apollopoli. Our gifts will be gifts of hope. Our hope that the people of the world can share the same level of development and opportunity as experienced by those in Apollopoli. It is the responsibility of all developed nations to help our cousins, and our fellow inhabitants on this Earth.

"Apollopoli wishes to use this event for purposes of promoting global Dismarment. We believe that strong development can only come out of strong disarmament. Outside the United Nations Building stands a statue that should give hope to all nations in the world. It accentuates that we should turn our armaments to agricultural equipment. This dream is achievable to all. This is the common dream for those who wish for peace. A peace that we can strive and achieve through co-operation. "
