A delegate from a distant realm shot to his feet, his face flushed with indignation.
"Lady Nadia, regarding the geopolitical implications of this coalition on the outer realms—specifically Article Seven, Subsection Three..."
"...how can you guarantee that our sovereignty will not be compromised when your human corporations inevitably seek to exploit our resources?"
Before Nadia could answer, another voice cut in from across the aisle.
"And what about taxation?"
"The proposed tariff structure between realms is completely unbalanced! Our agricultural sector will be decimated if we're forced to compete with human mass production!"
A third delegate stood, his tone more measured but no less aggressive.
"Cultural differences cannot be legislated away. How do you intend to protect the unique traditions of our worlds from being homogenized—or worse, erased—by closer integration with the human realm?"
Question after question. Accusation after accusation.
