Now is the time to build our future

The New World Order presents an enormous opportunity to redefine ourselves along the lines of what we would like to be rather than what we have been in the past. With the loss of the EU, China, and Russia, all of the military adversaries of the Accord's individual nations have disappeared, and we are left with very little geopolitical strife.  We will never again get such an opportunity to build a lasting peace across nations.  The 55 Cancri have chosen us, as peaceful and scientifically capable humans, to join them in the community of life.  It is time for us to live up to their expectations, lest we fail our Zok'chi/d and be "excised" as the other half of our populace has been.

Japanese nuclear scientists, cosmologists, and astrophysicists have all studied the environmental impacts of the disposal of our nuclear waste using a Machine-created wormhole.  They have deemed that this transportation has had no negative effects on the universe.  As a symbol of both our lasting peace and our intention to join the Community of Life, the Japanese military suggests that all nuclear weapons and war machines be disposed of on February 1, the first day of International Friendship Month. At this time, we can hold a global celebration at the location of the Machine.  The celebration will mark the end of cold wars and mutually assured destruction and the beginning of the New World Order.  The transition will take time and effort on the part of all countries involved, but with cooperation, it is assured that it can be accomplished.

With the beginning of the New World Order, militaries as they were known in the Old World will be obsolete.  Our energy resources are infinite, as are our new technological abilities, and our alliances are deep.  Both the Japanese military and the Canadian military have a history of being used for humanitarian and peace-keeping efforts across the globe; it is our suggestion that global militaries be deployed to underdeveloped areas of the Accord nations and depopulated areas of Europe and Asia to work with local populations and to aid in cleanup efforts, respectively.  Military units will be retrained to function as corps of engineers, building infrastructure along their deployments across the globe.  Those military personnel who are less fit for infrastructure work will be necessary for cleanup and salvage efforts in the Eurasian continent.  It is estimated that the existing engineers in the Japanese military can start this work effective immediately, but increasing our global peacebuilding capabilities to their full potential will take 5 or more years as our former soldiers must be retrained.

With the blessing of His Imperial Majesty the Emperor, the Japanese military will heretofore be referred to as the Order of Harmony.  Although the Order of Harmony will mostly be retrained troops, it is important that our roles be recognized as distinct from what they were in the Old World.  Furthermore, although the Japanese Military only welcomed Japanese citizens, we recognize the inherently global nature of the challenges we face.  In doing so, we recognize that these challenges are best met with a group that relies on the diversity of experience and talent provided by citizens of all Accord nations.  Private citizens of any job or skill set are welcome to apply to the Order of Harmony.  We actively welcome other countries and unions and their constituents to join the Order of Harmony, and we look forward to engaging in diplomatic relations with the other Accord nations to build what may be a truly global peacekeeping organization.

The Order of Harmony wishes to move forward with the US, Canada, and the nations of Africa and the Latin American Union in our creation of a peaceful and just humanity.  As the 55 Cancri have foretold, we will grow in peace, and when we have grown, we will be welcomed into the community of life.
