Here follows information about the establishment of the party “Jordens Forening”, which is the Norwegian branch of what we hope can become a global party movement to achieve the vision of United Earth.
The name “Jordens Forening”
No rule in Norway states that party names must be in Norwegian, but for strategic and communication reasons, we have concluded that this is the best solution. The alternatives we considered were:
- United Earth Norge (It is important that the organisation can be fully translated, so it was not appropriate to include the English name)
- Forente Jorden (Reminiscent of “Forente Nasjoner” (FN), the name of the UN, but linguistically a bit strange in Norwegian)
- Foreningen av Jorden (An ok candidate, but…)
- Jordens Forening (… this is shorter and gives a nice double meaning since ‘forening’ is both a form of a verb and a noun: the action and the result in one)
Program
The United Earth initiative is dedicated to the development of a political framework that will enable a democratic process at the global level, rather than formulating policies on specific issues. As such, our political party is uniquely centred on structural reform, distinguishing itself from conventional parties that operate within standard ideological spectrums.
Consequently, we do not offer a detailed policy program. Our organisational model is designed to maintain this focus, particularly as it grows in influence and support. We aim to minimize the risk of the party being used for promoting specific ideological purposes, keeping our eyes firmly on the broader goal of global democratic governance.
This system focus will nevertheless lead to a range of more specific issues concerning the principles and mechanisms essential for implementing our proposed reforms. These issues will naturally evolve through the party’s political processes as the initiatives progress.
Initial proposals:
- Norway recognizes the Earth’s Parliament as the world’s highest decision-making body on global issues, and accepts the constitutional changes that follows: from sovereignty to subsidiarity, and from nation-state to modern multicultural (or culture-agnostic) management state.
- Norway applies for EU membership in line with this principle: all states must be decision-making levels below the bloc level.
- Promote harmonization and completion of the bloc level and development of a new peacekeeping aliance which includes all blocs, removes WMD’s and put an end to the use of war as a problem-solving method.
- Spend 20-50% of the Oil fund to build the necessary public institutions and infrastructure of such a global democratic government system, and thus fairly give back to all victims of climate change and future generations. This includes: glocal* citizenship and social media platform, secure digital voting system with knowledge-based weights, strongest AI (AGI) system on the planet, assembly buildings and infrastructure etc. as part of assisting weak geo-regions in their bloc establishment. All of it publicly owned and maintained.

Signing on paper until after the next parliament election
We investigated with the Register of Political Parties and the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development about the possibility of implementing an electronic registration solution via the Altinn.no portal. It turns out that it has recently been decided in the Storting that this will be introduced, but the ministry will use the time until after the next Storting election to prepare for this. The advantage is that we don’t need to fulfil a new number requirement, 10,000 for a party at the state level, but the disadvantage is that we still have to collect the 5,000 signatures manually on paper and send them to the register.
