Novus Ordo Seclorum- “A New Order for the Ages”- is the official motto of INTO, the International Treaty Organization, and is used informally to describe the unnamed coalition of interests working to establish a hegemony of peace, prosperity, and liberty across the globe.
You can dismiss any wild claims by conspiracy theorists about Illuminati or plots- clearly such things are ridiculous.
Scientists in the early 21st century seriously underestimated the speed, impact, and severity of climate change. Initial warming set off a then poorly-understood feedback cycle that eventually stabilized at an approximately 3.1 degree Celsius average temperature increase by the mid-2050s. Instead of one meter of sea level rise by 2100, the world’s ice caps had almost entirely melted by the 2070s, and worst case scenarios that envisioned a maximum sea level rise of between 70 and 80 meters were discovered to be optimistic when the world’s oceans reached an equilibrium of roughly 100 meters above the 1990 sea level by 2075. The Anthropocene Climate Changes generated a relatively minor mass extinction when compared to say, the Great Oxygenation Event, but between 5 and 10% of all species on Earth went extinct in a relatively brief period of about two centuries following the year 2000. The severe disruption to the ecosystem precipitated massive crop failures even before rising floodwaters inundated much of the world’s most productive farmland in low-lying coastal plains and valleys. Mass famine coupled with the displacement of 0.75 to 1.0 billion refugees globally led to unprecedented geopolitical chaos.
That the world’s scientists were so universally wrong about the effects and severity of global warming is absolutely not indicative of any kind of conspiracy (or of the author not having a map that showed 60-70 meters of sea level rise), and the fact that the world’s governments did so little in the obvious face of impending disaster is merely proof of the incompetence of those now-discredited leaders.
Despite the aforementioned global chaos, political instability, mass starvation, and huge displacement of refugees, mankind has risen to the challenge! New, centrist, technocratic parties with the goal of preserving life, liberty, and civil rights have been voted in by massive popular support across much of the world, and have come together in the form of the InterNational Treaty Organization. INTO is an alliance composed entirely of free countries, whose Partners for Peace consist of other democratic allies for freedom across the globe. In conjunction with the United Nations (now that the Security Council is entirely controlled by INTO members), INTO and its Partners fight to feed the hungry, house the homeless, treat the sick, build free and stable governments out of anarchy, combat terrorism, and oppose evil rogue states who reject the new global consensus.
The United States of America- under the National Union Party and the FEMA Resettlement Administration- is first among equals in INTO and is at the forefront of NOS work across the globe in the form of its Stabilization and Humanitarian Forces and its Reconstruction Missions. The European Union (which will be celebrating the anniversary of its federalization soon) is number two, and is in the process of restoring civil authority to its coastal regions while heroically confronting the threat of the Neo-Putinist and ultranationalist Russian Federative Democratic Republic. The EU also has an ongoing project to voluntarily relocate and repatriate certain residents whose rich cultural heritage is from outside of Europe. (Any fringe rumors about the Relocation and Repatriation Authorities in Libya and Tunisia and be safely ignored- those areas are under autonomous, elected governments being prepared for PFP status and full sovereignty in the near future.) Other major members of INTO include the Siberian Union, Australia, Chile, and Canada who that have their own humanitarian operations, generally within their local regions.
INTOs Partners for Peace are a diverse association of free countries committed to the cause, who have stepped up after hearing the call from the UN and the good people of the world. They range from Laos (the last formally communist country on Earth- don’t worry, it’s just a formality) to the Islamic Republic of Iran and the State of Israel. Most aspire to full membership within the Treaty Organization, and all do their part to build the New Order of Liberty that will stand for the Ages!
The United Nations- now based in Toronto- remains, as it always has, one of the greatest forces for maintaining international peace and security and promoting human rights. The UN Peacekeepers now recruit their personnel directly from the citizens of member states (instead of relying on civil and military personnel contributed by members) and are heavily involved in the worst of the failed states across the globe. Several countries are administered under UN Transitional Authorities (UN appointed administrators run things) or UN Temporary Executives (the area in question has local administrators who answer to an appointed UN authority), and these provide the largest source of Peacekeeper recruits. The UN has also stationed UN Protection Forces and UN Security Forces in some countries to support the central authorities in those countries, and the Security Council (USA, Britain, EU, Republic of China, Siberia) has issued UN Mandates for Aid to allow INTO members and Partners for Peace to conduct their own humanitarian interventions under UN supervision. Various other types of United Nations operations are ongoing, far too many to list here!
Unfortunately there are a number of states and state-like entities- most horrible dictatorships under unstable strongmen- who actively oppose the New Order for the Ages and the peaceful and humanitarian efforts of INTO and the UN.
The worst of these is Da’esh- a genocidal terrorist organization that controls a pseudo-state in the failed states of Iraq and Syria, while commanding the loyalty of other, similar horrific groups in Africa and Indonesia. There are also a variety of other terrorist governments that pursue Radical Islam (which is nothing like the noble and traditional faith practiced in the Sudan and Egypt or Iran). This number ranges from Azawad to the Daesh-breakaway pseudo-state in Afghanistan, and includes countries like Oman and Somaliland (despite their entirely inaccurate claims to being a constitutional monarchy and a multi-party democracy respectively).
The most powerful rogue state on Earth is the RFDR, which follows a mixed ideology of extreme Russian nationalism and militarism. Russia is nuclear armed and technically has the world’s largest military, due to its requirements of universal service and a military reserve that consists of all veterans, and routinely calls for the destruction and conquest of many of its neighbors. It remains closely allied to Armenia, a fellow hostile nation. Other major rogue states include the Swiss Confederation- a xenophobic oligarchy that preferred to watch its neighbors suffer and die than lend them a hand and join the EU- and Brazil, which like Russia regularly threatens its peaceful neighbors (as well as INTO and the UN) on the basis of unfounded irredentist claims and is currently engaged in the illegal occupation of part of Paraguay.
Perhaps the most committed enemy of the NOS however, is the Southern African Democratic Community. Despite the SADC’s claims that all of its members are democracies and that Botswana (which hosts the SADC capital in Gaborone) is the freest country on Earth, in fact it is composed of oligarchies, dictatorships, and oppressive monarchies. The Community is a popular destination for dangerous terrorists and criminals opposed to INTO and the UN, and is a major source of utterly untrue propaganda about the New Order. It can be judged by its actions- notably its illegal occupation of Mozambique and its ally Zambia’s illegal occupation of the southern Congo- and the fact that the illegitimate and xenophobic government of Zimbabwe (that deposed the true Zimbabwean government, which was a Partner for Peace) was allowed to join.
