Pushing a Pebble Down a Hill

Valentina de Liañolistened intently to the Nerysian response. She was now ready to give her response. She waited until the silence in the conversation. She then started "The Nerysian delegate makes a good point, co-operation should be primarily for a purpose not just because we can, I believe it must also balance the needs of national sovreignty of our states. I think the visa for student exchange co-operation could be dealt with as part of a general loosening of visa policy and restrictions. We with Lomarre have for many years now had free movement between Lomarre and us though we do not believe this is necessarily good continent wide given the bigger population however other aspects of that treaty could be brought over to this. We could loosen regulations for business visas for short term trips , also have a 1 month general Brigidnan tourist visa to increase visits to our continent and between it. I also believe that student exchanges would be an excellent way to boost co-operation and research and share knowledge. Another related policy that may or may not work may be visa free travel with travel between the nations here present. This could boost tourism and the economy as it has done significantly in United Breighighist Duchies and I believe also in Lomarre and wouldn't present such a security threat as passports would have to be shown , if this is combined with sharing of intelligence of known criminal and terrorist threats in a database between nations we could effectively vet people potentially stopping them before they get anywhere near a plane or deny them at the border. Of course these are only ideas , but this would fit the theme of freeer movement but also keep regional security at the same time. I know this is a big change but it could very well end up benefiting alot of nations in attendance here though it is vital we keep controls over the numbers as too many people moving around at once can always cause issues such as rising housing prices and putting locals out of jobs and the first role of a democratic government is to protect the people who already live in an area."
