[[Peace]] will not come to [[Urantia]] until every so-called [[sovereign]] [[nation]] [[surrenders]] its power to make [[war]] into the hands of a [[representative]] [[government]] of all [[mankind]]. [[Political]] [[sovereignty]] is innate with the peoples of the world. When all the peoples of [[Urantia]] create a [[world government]], they have the right and the power to make such a government SOVEREIGN; and when such a [[representative]] or democratic world power [[controls]] the world's [[Military}land]], air, and naval forces, [[peace]] on [[earth]] and good will among men can prevail—but not until then.

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. In this world state the small nations will be as powerful as the great, even as the small state of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhode_Island Rhode Island] has its [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Senate two senators] in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Congress American Congress] just the same as the populous state of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York (state) New York] or the large state of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas Texas].[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=134:5_Political_Sovereignty]
