The Federation of
GLOBAL NATION

BASIC POLICIES

A one world federation government:

“ It must succeed for poor and rich alike. It must deliver rights no less than riches. It must provide social justice and equity no less than economic prosperity and enhanced communication.”

- Kofi Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations

THE FEDERATION OF GLOBAL NATION: WHY DO WE NEED IT?

Accountability: It will make Regional Governments, that is, the government of your own country, more accountable for their administration over the people. Regional Governments that become prone to corruption and mismanagement will be dissolved and replaced with fresh new Governments that work for the people.

Universal Security and Defence Forces: The Federation will absorb all defence and security forces from all the Regional Governments and bind them into one Imperial Force. The Federation maintains the complex issues of operations and procedures involved in running these forces. This frees Regional Governments from the burdens of defence and security and allows them to concentrate entirely on the domestic policies. Enabling them to serve you better.

Unified civil and criminal law: Under universal law, no matter where you go to in the world you will know what’s legal and what isn’t. These laws will be just and fair. The federation places high values and care not just on a select few but on every human being. The federation constitution demands equality for all people of all races, colour or creed.

No Death penalty: There will be no death penalty in the federation. People who commit murder and other crimes against humanity will be exiled to offshore penal colonies for the rest of their lives. While Security forces will patrol these penal islands, all other costs associated with the maintenance and upkeep of prisons and their inmates will no longer effect the taxpayer. The penal islands will have basic infrastructure to support inmate farms to allow inmates to fend for themselves.

Universal Taxation: Under the federation there will be a standard across board taxation system. Anyone earning under $30,000 per year would pay a 5-10% income tax. Above that a flat tax of 20% would apply. Corporations would pay 30%. There would be a ceiling on corporate income. A Corporation that tripled its profits would have to pay 30% plus 5% for every multiple over.

Global health services and Medicare System: A Federation Medicare System shall be installed to provide comprehensive health care to all citizens. Treatment shall be based on medical priority regardless of patients' income and shall be financed out of a global Medicare taxation levy. Prescriptions shall be subsidised to people on low incomes, children, expectant mothers, pensioners and other groups. Under the Federation you will be treated with the same high standards of health care when holidaying in Africa as you would when in Australia or England. If you get sick while in another country you will simply be able to check into a local doctor or hospital and be treated with the same care and cover as if you were at home. Over the first decade under the Federation the infrastructure of countries with poor or low hospital conditions will be a priority and rebuilt by the Federation to the high standards elsewhere in the world. No one will miss out.

Standardized education and Higher Education: Your degree in one country will be the same as in another. You can work anywhere in the world in your field without having to requalify.

A global currency: “ An unregulated global economy dominated by corporations that recognize money as their only value is inherently unstable ... and is impoverishing humanity in real terms” - Dr. David C.Korten.

A Federation controlled one-world currency would eliminate currency speculation and the massive problems associated with countries taking advantage of other countries with weaker exchange rates. You would not lose a cent in exchange when travelling, the inconveniences and frustrations of forking out thousands of dollars to buy a couple of hundred dollars in another country would vanish. One dollar here would be the same as a dollar over there.

Oil and fossil fuels: One of the greatest problems associated with poverty and war in this world is the manipulation of the oil fields and other natural resources. At present greedy individuals, and companies control these vital resources. While it is fair that countries and companies should profit from the efforts of speculation, exploration, extraction and refinery of these vital fuels - it is not viable at the expense of human suffering that they should control, store and distribute such resources as they see fit. Under the federation all post extracted resources will become the property of the people and be distributed evenly by the Federation. High oil prices will cease to exist. Oil and other fuels will be subject to low holding and distribution levies. With the Federation controlling these important elements, the preservation of our natural resources will be able to be properly monitored and maintained.

Freedom of Movement: The citizens in the federation will become one people and one nation allowing them to travel or migrate to any other country in the Federation without hindrance or persecution. If you wanted to move from Hong Kong and live and work in New Zealand to be with relatives or friends you would be able to do so. People on low income, of less than 20,000 per year, would be able to apply for Federation Migration Transport status once per year. On approval, which is subject to a Regional population support level, individuals will be granted free federation transport whether via land, sea or air to any destination in the Federation.

Environmental Controls and Alternative Energies: The Federation will install universal environment controls. The Constitution demands the preservation and stabilization of mother earth. To aid in this, the federation will engage in scientific increase and creation of alternative fuels and power systems. Coal and Nuclear power plants will become dinosaurs of the past; the internal combustion engine will become an ancient machine. All advanced technologies that were previously hindered by the power of oil monopolies will be allowed to come into operation.

Natural Disasters: The death and mayhem associated with the natural disasters that happen in our world today will be reduced considerably. A global Emergency Service will immediately respond to victims of natural disasters by rescuing people from the effected area, repairing the damage and re-settling them back into the area if they choose so. The Federation Emergency Services will monitor possible danger areas and alert citizens and help evacuate before the events take full toll.
