"Perhaps what we could do is use some of the free lands, fill them with volunteers from all nations, and use it to make an autonomous city-state with it's own economy, taxes, etc, while still under regional law?"  Jabber314 says, tapping the table with a pen.

I agree with both titchopa and Jabber314 but i will say Jabber that a whole countries is a bit much i think we should have departments in place in each nation rather then a whole land mass. This way when some thing bad happens each nation can send people in there departments to help.

The door opens and three men walk in, their presence announced by the doorman:
"Chancellor Lorin Galvinstraat, Vice-Chancellor Frederick Bjornson, and Vice-Chancellor Lloyd Fremont, all representing the Allied States of the United Isles of the North Atlantic!"
The three men walk in, and Chancellor Galvinstraat sits in his designated seat, with both of his Vice-Chancellors standing behind him at his shoulders. Chancellor Galvinstraat addresses the council in a cheery manner:
"Sorry for being late, Gents. There was some small scale riots of young miscreants against anti-Alchoholic legislation that I needed to take care of before I left, and as a result I missed my flight. Now, what have I missed?"

"I agree that the region should always help it's nations. How about we create an organization that will deal directly with the disasters. With each nation giving a certain amount of money each year to keep this organization running. And then when a disaster occurs it will send teams immediately to assess the damage and see how much in aid is needed and how much each nation needs to give to help. That way help will always be there for those who need it. I'm not gonna lie this sounds better in my head and I'm not sure I've articulated my idea properly."

"Let's create a resolution so that we can vote. How about:

'As a council, we, Okatama, form the Okataman Regional Disaster Organisation (ORDO). ORDO is to:

-Collect dues from member nations to fund daily processes such as weather, geologic, and biological monitoring to predict future disasters,
-Once disaster strikes, determine relative severity, measures for relief, recovery, and future prevention,
-Determine the cost of these measures,
-Divide this cost between the member nations, and
-Oversee the allocation of the funds to the nation(s) affected.

Membership in ORDO is voluntary, but aid will only be offered to member nations. Nations may not sign up for only a short time for the sole purpose of receiving aid and not offering it. Any offences will be referred to the Membership Sub-Committee of ORDO.'

Anything else to add?"

"I agree and vote for, nothing to add"
