134:5.8 The [[difficulty]] in the [[evolution]] of [[political]] [[sovereignty]] from the [[family]] to all [[mankind]], lies in the [[inertia]]-[[resistance]] exhibited on all intervening levels. [[Families]] have, on occasion, defied their [[clan]], while clans and [[tribes]] have often been [[subversive]] of the [[sovereignty]] of the territorial [[state]]. Each new and forward [[evolution]] of [[political]] [[sovereignty]] is (and has always been) [[embarrassed]] and hampered by the " scaffolding stages " of the previous [[developments]] in political [[organization]]. And this is true because [[human]] [[loyalties]], once mobilized, are hard to [[change]]. The same [[loyalty]] which makes possible the [[evolution]] of the [[tribe]], makes difficult the evolution of the supertribe—the territorial [[state]]. And the same [[loyalty]] ([[patriotism]]) which makes possible the [[evolution]] of the territorial [[state]], vastly complicates the evolutionary [[development]] of the [[government]] of all [[mankind]].

134:5.9 [[Political]] [[sovereignty]] is created out of the [[surrender]] of [[self]]-[[determinism]], first by the [[individual]] within the [[family]] and then by the families and [[clans]] in relation to the [[tribe]] and larger groupings. This [[progressive]] transfer of [[self-determination]] from the smaller to ever larger [[political]] [[organizations]] has generally proceeded unabated in [[the East]] since the establishment of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ming_Dyansty Ming] and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mogul_Dynasty Mogul dynasties]. In [[the West]] it obtained for more than a thousand years right on down to the end of the [[World War I|World War]], when an unfortunate [[retrograde]] movement temporarily reversed this [[normal]] [[trend]] by re-establishing the submerged [[political]] [[sovereignty]] of numerous small groups in [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Europe Europe].

134:5.10 [[Urantia]] will not enjoy lasting [[peace]] until the so-called [[sovereign]] [[nations]] [[intelligently]] and fully [[surrender]] their sovereign powers into the hands of the brotherhood of men—[[mankind]] [[government]]. Internationalism—[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_of_Nations Leagues of Nations]—can never bring permanent [[peace]] to [[mankind]]. World-wide [[confederation]]s of nations will effectively prevent minor wars and acceptably [[control]] the smaller nations, but they will not prevent world wars nor [[control]] the three, four, or five most powerful [[governments]]. In the face of real [[conflicts]], one of these world powers will withdraw from the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_of_Nations League] and declare [[war]]. You cannot prevent nations going to war as long as they remain infected with the [[delusional]] [[virus]] of [[national]] [[sovereignty]]. Internationalism is a step in the right direction. An international [[police]] force will prevent many minor wars, but it will not be [[effective]] in preventing major wars, [[conflicts]] between the great [[military]] [[governments]] of [[earth]].
