Ambassador Sun Wu Shan of the Antarctican Harbour adresses the current issue with The League of NSN:
"We have to speak in favour of The League and their request to join the other currently significiant nations in the Chicxulub Embassies. It is understandable how many trans-newtonian nations are currently averse to this request, but there is no doubt for us, that The League must be given a voice.
They have shown in their commentary that they wish to speak out for their own interests here on Earth, something that simply cannot be denied to them. Even with our common utilisation of trans-newtonian minerals, we all still inhabit this planet and our political decisions impact humanity's birthplace equally as strong as other planets within Sol that now feature human presence.
It is true that The League has no interest in interplanetary flight, but this gathering here is not solely focused on such, either. The League is well aware of this, and should remain silent in everything that goes beyond Earth and perhaps Luna orbit, but they nervertheless have reason to be represented here for all terran matters.
We cannot forget that despite today's situation, only about half of Earth's surface is actually claimed by trans-newtonian nations. The League and yet unclaimed territory make up a large portion of our plant's area and populace. Furthermore, the former nations which The League represents have held their own during the Invader invasion and indirectly aided the struggle of all others.
In regards to military means, we do not wish to indulge further into this topic at the moment. We are well aware that every nation, be it trans-newtonian or not, will point out its military strength and do so with vigor. A 'fair' comparison of this military might won't be achieved until war - and that should be no goal from any of us."
