The World State Organization will be the only international governmental organization whose legal jurisdiction pertains to the international law of this Socialist World Order. The Socialist Nation, Hamiltonian America, and all other nations will continue to retain their National Sovereignty as WSO member-states. By allowing its own nation to join the WSO, every State is entitled to receive the following non-exhaustive list of benefits under international law:

• Participation in International Student Exchanges and Sports Competitions
• Students are allowed access to the Youth Palaces of other member-states
• The Student Enterprises can operate in another member-state’s Student Economy
• Specialty Shops are allowed to expand into Specialty Department Stores
• Special facilities for the Services Sector of the VCS Economy will be available for Foreign Enterprises to establish their branches
• Favorable 1:1 Fixed Exchange Rates between member-states
• Foreign NSFIs and Foreign Work-Tenures available for the Totality
• Access to special NSFIs whose Values are backed by the major world powers in charge of the WSO and can be redeemed in their Sociable Currencies at par value
• Send Foreign Aid to other member-states and receive Development Aid from them
• Request advisors to train and educate the Totality on the Mission-Type Economic Planning and Command-Obedience Account Bookkeeping
• Preferential rates for Production Licenses and Technical Patents
• Access to the WSO’s International Internet
• Additional sources of Digital Arbeit and Digital Geld for Digital Enterprises

These are just some of the benefits that will come from a country, assuming they already have a Sociable Currency pegged to the Work-Standard, can receive as a WSO member-state. There may be others that have yet to be considered, but those are the most relevant ones. This Entry in the SMP Compendium will conclude Section Nine with a comprehensive description of the WSO as it is currently envisaged. Everything discussed here can and will be reintroduced again in any future Treatises.

Organizational Structure

Every WSO member-state is delegated by the Council State and the SSE, specifically the Central Government and the Student Government. The State President and State Chancellor have their seats at the “International State Assembly.” The Head of State and Head of Government of each WSO member-state has a reserved seat at the International State Assembly.    

For the SSE, the Student Government’s Student President and Student Chancellor also have their seats, but theirs will be in the “International Student Assembly.” The International Student Assembly is specially reserved for the SSEs of all WSO member-states. The Student President and the Student Chancellor share their seats with a Student Ambassador, who is responsible for their Student Government’s interactions with the other SSEs.

Presiding over the International Student Assembly and the International State Assembly is the “Supreme World Council.” The Supreme World Council is the ruling body of the WSO, responsible for leading the WSO and bearing all the burdens of this Socialist World Order. There are five vacant seats in the Supreme World Council, one for each member-state. Everyone in both Assemblies shall have one vote to decide who shall be the five sitting member-states on the Supreme World Council for two consecutive terms of ten (10) years. The maximum number of years that a member-state could be seated at the Supreme World Council is twenty (20) years.

When the first term comes to its conclusion at the end of the tenth year, all member-states on the Supreme World Council must stand for reelection. The International Student Assembly and International State Assembly shall decide by majority vote whether each of the five member-states should be reelected to the Supreme World Council. Any or all of them may be reelected to serve another term and any or all of them may be replaced with another member-state. A member-state can serve on the Supreme World Council again as long as they do not serve a third consecutive term. This raises the possibility of member-states aligned with each other as part of any economic-military alliances to alternate between different terms. 

The Supreme World Council shall appoint the “Supreme General Secretary” and the “Youth General Secretary” with the majority approval of both Assemblies. The Supreme General Secretary and the Youth General Secretary are the official leaders of the World State Organization, the ones who will be addressing the Supreme World Council and the Assemblies in every annual session. Similar to the member-states of the Supreme World Council, the “Supreme General Secretary” and the “Youth General Secretary” also serve two consecutive terms of ten (10) years.

All member-states on the Supreme World Council and among the Assemblies shall have one vote each to decide on certain international laws and treaties that pertain to world issues that affect all member-states and not any one particular member-state. For instance, the WSO could agree on a treaty to combat Climate Change. The WSO may consider a treaty to determine who should be in charge of Antarctica or the Moon and who has access to their natural resources. In the event of a tie, assuming the composition of both Assemblies in the WSO is not even-numbered, the Supreme General Secretary and the Youth General Secretary shall serve as the tiebreakers. If it is even-numbered, then only the Supreme General Secretary is the tiebreaker.

The WSO entrusts the member-states sitting on the Supreme World Council to enforce international law. Any decision by the WSO is a decision that is of importance to all member-states. The WSO will only be dissolved if any member-state on the Supreme World Council declares war on at least one of its other four sitting member-states. The WSO will automatically be reactivated once the conflict ends. Alternatively, if the Assemblies feel that the sitting member-states on the Supreme World Council provide less than ideal leadership, a two-thirds majority in both Assemblies is required to dissolve the WSO, allow new elections, and reactivate the WSO with sitting member-states on the Supreme World Council.

Worldwide Economic Socialization

In International Trade, there is no “Free Trade Agreements (FTAs).” WSO member-states will be signing Real Trade Agreements (RTAs), where the signatories will pursue realistic expectations and goals while respecting the cultural and traditional values of their trade partners. The WSO maintains a number of “International Working-Groups” dedicated to specific Professions like postal services, telecommunications, air and sea travel, tourism, science and medical institutes, and educational and culture institutes for the SSEs. The concept of Intellectual Property will be revisited under the Socialist conception of Property. Opportunities will be provided to member-states interested in purchasing the Production License from another nation.

Each International Working-Group is an institution attached to the WSO and answers directly to the Supreme World Council and the Assemblies. One of the more important International Working-Groups is responsible for the operation, maintenance, and defense of the International Internet that connects the National Intranets of all member-states. This International Working-Group is tasked with policing the areas separating the accessways to each National Intranet, the “Social Courts.” If the Social Forums are responsible for governing the National Intranet in accordance with Council Democracy, then the Social Courts are designed to fulfill the same purpose on the International Internet. All Social Courts interact with this International Working-Group to enforce international law.  

Aside from that particular International Working-Groups, the rest are tasked with laying down and enforcing the international laws which govern International Trade among member-states. An International Court will be established for the purpose of presiding over the conduct of the all WSO International Working-Groups.

History has shown that the Bretton Woods System is not the most ideal form of international finance. What the Socialist World Order needs is an international financial arrangement in which the WSO issues a special World Reserve Currency backed by the Sociable Currencies of the five largest economic powers on Earth. The purpose of this World Reserve Currency is to allow two NSFIs exclusive to the WSO: the “Economic & Financial Autarky Kit (NFAK)” and the “Economic Redevelopment and Reconstruction Banknote (ERRB).” The WSO must see to it that, in peacetime, every member-state and SSE shall maintain ample emergency reserves of its World Reserve Currency, to be readily converted into the most valuable Sociable Currencies as every member-state sees fit. Member-states may receive additional NFAKs and ERRBs by assisting the WSO’s International Working-Groups.

Worldwide Political Socialization

The World State Organization welcomes nations with genuine Scientific and Artistic Socialisms, Corporatism, Syndicalism and State Capitalism as its member-states. As part of their affiliation with the WSO, individual member-states form political-religious-economic-military alliances with other member-states. Such alliances will continue to exist so long as those interests remain mutual. “Political Internationals” are allowed to establish a presence among the member-states as long as they have an affiliated Head of State and a Head of Government. The Head of State and Head of Government shall disclose their ideological affiliations as part of their nation’s membership in the WSO.

Registered Political Internationals may work together with subordinate political parties in their respective nations. The goal of every Political International is to eventually lead the Supreme World Council and gain a majority of the seats in both Assemblies. For member-states and their SSEs that find themselves not represented by any existing Political Internationals, they will be allowed to establish their own Political International or they could join a newly-reconstituted that is going to gain a newfound purpose in the World State Organization.    

After 1945, in response to the growing Bipolarity of the Cold War, the Yugoslavia established the “Non-Aligned Movement (NAM)” for countries not aligned with the Jeffersonians or the Soviets. The vast majority of the NAM’s members are developing countries outside the Western world from a wide variety of Worldviews and Ideologies. In the Socialist World Order of the World State Organization, NAM will definitely gain a new purpose of representing the interests of all WSO member-states that are not affiliated with any Political International. For NAM was founded on the principle of opposition to the political blocs and alliances that characterized so much of the 20^th century.  

There is only one justifiable Explicit Intent for integrating various Political Internationals and even the NAM into the WSO. The WSO is not a monolithic world government nor is it an alliance of nations. It is an international body responsible for implementing and enforcing international law in the Socialist World Order. This Socialist World Order is not going to be dominated by any one particular version of Pure Socialism. Instead, it will be defined by a multiplicity of different Socialisms and others, thereby laying the groundwork for the sort of Multipolarity that is preferred by the Open Nationalism of the Federalist Worldview.
