"It would be extraordinarily strong. It would be the 3rd largest in terms of GDP per capita [and] it would be the 3rd strongest in the world in terms of defence. We already have the rule of law that is pretty much the same, all four countries have the same Head of State, we have the same language...we've got things that bind us that are far more than any normal union of states".
Roberts also emphasized that the ideal goal of a union between Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom is to promote a defence agreement with "a free trading area with free movement of peoples". In doing so, the four nations would be able to negotiate significant trade agreements with the USA and advocate greater trading relationships throughout the world.
