What else values should be a base of confederation?
Your opinion will be highly appreciated.
This, of course, is very much discussable, and other Intermarian nations would need to weigh in on this, but I can try to take a stab:
- Knightly NationsSimilar to a knightly code of honor (aka szlachta rights) our nations stand for treating each other as equal peers, with mutual respect, dignity, driven by the moral principles as opposed to hypocritical realpolitik of the modern world. We may disagree with each other, we may have arguments, different approaches to issues, or opposing readings of events, but we deem to treat each other the way we want others to treat us. We value empathy over bulling, we value earned respect over the rule of force, we value honest emotions over a fake smile. And through this relations grounded on a morality-driven background, we disdain systems where a countries use force, coercion, or self-appointed patronage to establish themselves in the family of nations. Respect is earned, not enforced, or bought.
We identify nation-states as rightful subjects, aka social personas of our de-facto Commonwealth of Nations. Each state has its own 'honor' (its own nationalism), and it has the right to defend its honor. But in doing so it is limited by the 'honor' and rights of its neighbors. We mutually defend the right of nation-states to select their own fate. Aka the szlachta code translated onto the country level.
We believe that it is the people of each state who have the ultimate voice on how they want to organize their own statehood - not the supranational institutions. "I am fully in charge of my own house, but I respect the choice of my neighbors, and that is what we mutually stand for". "I can have as much nationalism as I want inside my own country, but each nationalism stops at the border". A system where intelligent nationalism is a good thing, and it it designed for coexistence of those nationalisms.
This value is supposed to counter-weigh current anti-national politics of the EU that leads to decay of nation-states for the benefit of neo-imperial structures. Intermarium is an Anti-Empire - as it always was. A flexible network of bilateral ties and international hubs organized by common rules and values, as opposed to a clumsy dictate of pyramid-like structures. It's goal is not to melt nations into a new supranational substance, but to create a commonwealth of nations, a new continent-wide Rzeczpospolita, where nation-states are able to co-exist and flourish through cooperation and competition, as well as joint defense of mutually shared rules and values. We do not believe in uniformity, we believe in a mosaic of free will.
- ResponsibilismIf you can do it - you are responsible for it.
The modern international politics has lost its final touch with moral grounds. Realpolitik has consumerized relationships between nations. You can trust no one. No one trusts you. This leads first, to over-formalization of all international relationships, but eventually no one trusts even the signed papers. Second, to a complete decay of those relationships, when at the end of the day you can rely only on your own brute force, which leaves only big players as de-factor subjects of the global world. There smaller you are, the less equal you are.
To reverse this decay the world needs a new moral beacon of international politics. True, different countries have different moral grounds. But someone has to stick to at least one, while majority of others betray even their own values. We do not impose our values on others, but we intend to make the world better by giving it confidence in at least one vantage point that could serve as a moral spine of a globalized world.
We raise the banner of Responsibilism, an thus give a guidance to everyone else, like an international lighthouse. And this moral guidance stretches from the level of individuals to the level of geopolitics.
If you can stop a crime, or save a person — you are responsible for it. If you can stop a war — you are responsible for it. If you can save a planet — you are responsible for it. If you can lead humanity to new heights — you are responsible for it. The more you can — the greater is your responsibility. Responsibilism implies that we are not just apes who learned to walk upright and periodically apply reason, but that we also assume full responsibility for everything that we do, as well as everything that we chose not to. Welcome the birth of HOMO RESPONSABILIS (a responsible man) — the next species in the evolutionary chain above the couch potato man of the Egoistic Era!
- Defense and advancement of LifeWe defend life and all its diversity, including the intelligent life of our civilization. Life is a pressures gift that we need to preserve, and carry to new horizons. We achieve this through progress of knowledge, society, technology, and culture. As well as through cooperation and competition between nations.
We are not only looking for new ways to expand the reach of Life throughout the surrounding universe, but also carry responsibility for preservation of Life wherever it has already been established. This stretches from responsible international politics down to responsible families and individuals, which we stand for.
We reject irresponsible systems, policies, and individuals that trade lives of others for selfish gains. The only thing that can stand above individual's Life is individual's Free Will to chose its actions - i.e. Responsibilism. This may refer to a person, a nation, or any other individual, or social being. Same as mother deer sacrifices her life defending a calf, a nation may choose putting its Life at stake for a cause it considers worthy of this sacrifice. But every sacrifice of Life is done with a purpose of preserving and continuing another Life.
We celebrate Life in all its forms.
We acknowledge that the progress of Life is attainable through diversity, not uniformity. And for this reason we praise network structures of varying Subjects over a monolith slavery of Objects.
MORAL CODE, RESPONSIBILITY, and DEFENSE OF LIFE make the foundation of our system of values and actions.

but the problem is, that the choice, we've got is still very limited.
