To use an important [[illustration]]: The states of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States American Federal Union] have long enjoyed [[peace]]. They have no more wars among themselves. They have [[surrendered]] their [[sovereignty]] to the federal government, and through the arbitrament of [[war]], they have abandoned all claims to the [[delusions]] of [[self-determination]]. While each state regulates its internal affairs, it is not concerned with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_relations foreign relations], tariffs, immigration, [[military]] affairs, or interstate [[commerce]]. Neither do the [[individual]] states concern themselves with matters of [[citizenship]]. These states suffer the ravages of [[war]] only when the federal government's [[sovereignty]] is in some way [[jeopardized]].

These states, having abandoned the twin [[sophistries]] of [[sovereignty]] and [[self-determination]], enjoy interstate [[peace]] and tranquillity. So will the [[nations]] of [[Urantia]] begin to enjoy [[peace]] when they freely [[surrender]] their respective sovereignties into the hands of a [[global government]]—the [[sovereignty]] of the [[brotherhood]] of men.
