World Federal Zones

(for the several organs of the World Government)

Twenty World Federal Zones shall be established within the twenty World Electoral and Administrative Regions (WEARs), for the purposes of the location of the several organs of the World Government and of the administrative departments, the world courts, the offices of the Regional World Attorneys, the offices of the World Advocates, and for the location of other branches, departments, institutes, offices, bureaus, commissions, agencies and parts of the World Government.

The World Federal Zones shall be established as the needs and resources of the World Government develop and expand. World Federal Zones shall be established first within each of five Continental Divisions (CDs).

The location and administration of the World Federal Zones, including the first five, shall be determined by the World Parliament.

Locational Procedures:

Choices for location of the twenty World Federal Zones shall be proposed by the Presidium, and then shall be decided by a simple majority vote of the three Houses of the World Parliament in joint session. The Presidium shall offer choices of two or three locations in each of the twenty World Electoral and Administrative Regions to be World Federal Zones.

Any World Federal Zone may be relocated by an absolute two-thirds majority vote of the three Houses of the World Parliament in joint session.

Additional World Federal Zones may be designated if found necessary by proposal of the Presidium and approval by an absolute majority vote of the three Houses of the World Parliament in joint session.

Nation vs State vs Country: A nation refers to a group of people who share a common identity, which may include elements like culture, language, ethnicity, or history. A state is a political and legal entity with sovereignty over a defined territory and population. It has a structured government, defined borders, and the ability to enter into relations with other states. A country is a geographical area that is identified as a distinct entity and is usually governed by a specific government. The term "country" is commonly used in everyday language to refer to a nation-state or a sovereign political entity.
