Villepin then proposes a EU Constitution which include:
- To give a greater sense belonging in the transnational government, the new name of the European Union shall be EuroNation (pronounced 'Your Own Nation')
- *The flag of EuroNation, instead of a circle of twelve golden stars on a blue background, shall consist of a more traditional hammer, sickle and star in gold, against a red background.
- Instead of basing the anthem on Beethoven's ‘Ode to Joy’, the EuroNation anthem shall be based on the more familiar, less religious, Beatles' classic 'Back in the USSR'.
- The motto of the Union shall no longer be ‘United in diversity’ but rather the more poetic: 'Liberté, Égalité, Diversité'
