The New World Order is a governing framework that arose in response to the collapse of Earth's traditional political and economic institutions, driven by growing inequality, environmental crises, and the unchecked power of global corporations. This system blends elements of democracy, corporate governance, and trade-based economics, creating a hybrid form of governance where corporations and trade guilds play a critical role in decision-making.
At the heart of the New World Order is a system of corporatocratic democracy, where corporations, trade guilds, and government institutions share power in decision-making. This model emphasizes individual rights and market freedoms while integrating corporate interests directly into the democratic process. Rather than traditional political parties, representatives from each industrial sector—ranging from major corporations to small businesses and labor unions—hold seats in councils that govern both planetary and interplanetary issues. Key decisions are made through a combination of direct democratic voting by citizens and deliberation within these councils, where corporate influence shapes policy, trade, and regulation.
This system allows for swift decision-making in a complex, resource-driven economy, ensuring that economic stability and technological innovation remain at the forefront. The corporate sector, while incentivized by profit, is accountable to the public through the trade guilds, which oversee and regulate industries. This balance is meant to ensure that while corporations drive the economy, the rights of individuals and small enterprises are protected.
The governance platform is structured around a set of key pillars that ensure the stability and prosperity of humanity’s interplanetary expansion. Each pillar plays a distinct role in shaping economic, political, and social systems across the new colonies.
GODOT: A sophisticated AI, developed as a governance tool and a repository of human knowledge, history, and political, economic, and social analysis from Earth.
WORLD TRADE FEDERATION: This body governs the trade networks between its colonies, ensuring free market access while establishing regulations for fair competition, resource distribution, and economic stability. The Federation also facilitates diplomatic relations and dispute resolution.
WORLD BANK: The central financial institution of the New World Order, managing monetary policies, regulating interplanetary currencies, and providing loans for expansion and development.
WORLD COURT: The central judicial authority across the colonies, designed to uphold justice and protect human rights through a multi-tiered system of elected judges and appointed justices.
CORPORATIONS: Corporations are the primary drivers of economic activity in the New World Order. These entities, while profit-driven, are public/private hybrids and operate under strict regulations imposed by the Trade Guilds. They are responsible for much of the industrial production, resource extraction, and trade across planetary colonies.
TRADE GUILDS: Trade Guilds represent workers, small businesses, and labor interests within each industrial sector. They license vendors, regulate trade practices, and ensure that corporations adhere to ethical labor and environmental standards. These guilds act as a balance to corporate power, protecting the rights of individuals and fostering fair competition.
SOCIAL SECURITY: Social Security is a fundamental welfare program in the New World Order, ensuring that no citizen is left without a home or the basic means to survive.
