==72:1. THE CONTINENTAL NATION==

72:1.1 Notwithstanding all these [[planetary]] [[handicaps]] a very superior [[civilization]] is [[evolving]] on an isolated [[continent]] about the size of [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia Australia]. This nation numbers about 140 million. Its people are a mixed race, predominantly [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64 blue and yellow], having a slightly greater [[proportion]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78 violet] than the so-called [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_80#PAPER_80:_ANDITE_EXPANSION_IN_THE_OCCIDENT white race] of [[Urantia]]. These [[different]] [[races]] are not yet fully blended, but they fraternize and socialize very acceptably. The [[average]] length of life on this continent is now ninety years, fifteen per cent higher than that of any other people on the [[planet]].

72:1.2 The [[industrial]] [[mechanism]] of this [[nation]] enjoys a certain great advantage derived from the [[unique]] [[topography]] of the [[continent]]. The high [[mountains]], on which heavy rains fall eight months in the year, are situated at the very [[center]] of the country. This [[natural]] arrangement [[favors]] the utilization of [[water]] [[power]] and greatly [[facilitates]] the irrigation of the more arid western quarter of the continent.

72:12.3 This recital of the affairs of a [[neighboring]] [[planet]] is made by special permission with the [[intent]] of advancing [[civilization]] and augmenting [[governmental]] [[evolution]] on [[Urantia]]. Much more could be [[narrated]] that would no doubt interest and intrigue Urantians, but this disclosure covers the limits of our permissive [[mandate]].

72:12.4 Urantians should, however, take note that their sister [[sphere]] in the [[Satania]] [[family]] has benefited by neither [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_20#20:4._MAGISTERIAL_MISSIONS magisterial] nor [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_20#20:5._BESTOWAL_OF_THE_PARADISE_SONS_OF_GOD bestowal missions] of the [[Paradise Sons]]. Neither are the various peoples of [[Urantia]] set off from each other by such disparity of [[culture]] as separates the [[continental]] nation from its [[planetary]] fellows.

72:12.5 The pouring out of the [[Spirit of Truth]] provides the [[spiritual]] [[foundation]] for the [[realization]] of great achievements in the interests of the [[human]] [[race]] of the bestowal world. [[Urantia]] is therefore far better [[prepared]] for the more [[immediate]] [[realization]] of a [[planetary]] [[government]] with its [[laws]], [[mechanisms]], [[symbols]], [[conventions]], and [[language]]—all of which could [[contribute]] so mightily to the [[establishment]] of world-wide [[peace]] under [[law]] and could lead to the sometime [[dawning]] of a real age of [[spiritual]] striving; and such an age is the [[planetary]] [[threshold]] to the [[utopian]] ages of [[light and life]].
