The Nation of Earth as a Global Union

Multinational unions can take decades to form. There probably isn't time for a global peoples' union to be formed and assume control before the current network of regimes manages to royally screw things up.

However the Nation of Earth already exists, and we'll be prepared when their house of cards, built without hearts, tumbles.

It is simplest to describe it as a Global Union. Unlike the United Nations, the European Union, or even the African Union, though, our GU will represent the PEOPLE -- not governments, not corporations. Our representatives will not spend months at a time in some centralized location, far away from their constituents. Instead they will spend most of their time among us, giving talks on what is happening on the global stage and listening to us about what we need and want.

Since we are bypassing many current regimes, there is no reason for us to recognize the larger ones that cause so much trouble. Besides, places like China, India, and the United States (to name just the 3 most populous countries) are simply too big to be represented by one person. What we'll have to do is break larger countries down into existing states, provinces, and large cities for representational divisions.

That's right, there's no need to redraw the maps -- not completely, anyway -- because we still need smaller governments to run things. What the people will see that they do NOT want, or need, is any large and overbearing government run by individuals who look out for themselves and one another, rather than serve the people. Local political reform will naturally follow.

Does this mean there will no longer be a People's Republic of China? No more United States of America? Whether those bodies continue to exist is not for us to determine. All we are doing is having the people elect local representatives for a global forum.

Personally, I take no pride in being an American. Any American pride I ever held has been whittled away by the actions of our government. I'm perfectly happy being a West Virginian and an Earthling, thank you. I served my time in the military, and that didn't help my attitude.

If and when the individual States of the USA decide they no longer need a Federal government, so be it. State governments can then cooperate with one another, and with other governments around the world.

Those chosen as global representatives should probably not be affiliated with any political party, and should sever any and all ties with such parties before being considered for the position. Elections will be held completely separate from existing political systems. Interim representatives can volunteer for the positions in the meantime.

Perhaps those representatives can take a break from teleconferencing with one another and actually get together in a physical location for 2 weeks every year. There's a spot in Paraguay that I would like to think the Paraguayan government would seize and apologetically donate a section of for that purpose: http://www.plenglish.com/article.asp?ID=%7B2DA7BAE4-061B-49B6-983F-3D69A4396E37%7D)&language=EN

By the way, the motto of Paraguay is "Peace and Justice".


There are many questions about the Nation of Earth that can't be answered yet. So far, I'm the only one I know of working to find those answers, but everything has to start somewhere.

“I was the border man’s friend. Many times I have saved him and his people from harm. I never warred with you, but only to protect our wigwams and lands. I refused to join your paleface enemies with the red coats. I came to the fort as your friend and you murdered me. You have murdered by my side, my young son.... For this, may the curse of the Great Spirit rest upon this land. May it be blighted by nature. May it even be blighted in its hopes. May the strength of its peoples be paralyzed by the stain of our blood.”
