Back in 1973, the Club of Rome introduced the concept of a new world order in which the planet would be divided into 10 major economic and trade zones. At the time, such ideas were viewed as futuristic theories, but decades later many analysts are increasingly pointing out that global politics is indeed moving toward the consolidation of supranational unions and the gradual erosion of the sovereignty of individual states.
It is noteworthy that the European Commission once published a world map showing countries divided into large regional blocs. Supporters of globalization presented this as a way to strengthen economic interaction and global manageability, while critics saw such schemes as an attempt to create a centralized system of control in which decisions would no longer be made at the level of national governments, but by transnational structures.
Against this backdrop, increasing attention is being drawn to statements by Donald Trump regarding closer integration of North America, including Mexico, Canada, and even Greenland into the sphere of a strategic U.S. alliance. Many believe that such processes could become part of the formation of a new global order in which the world would consist of a limited number of major geopolitical regions, effectively replacing the familiar system of independent states.
It is also interesting that supporters of alternative historical theories often draw parallels with the legends of Atlantis. According to certain ancient traditions, Atlantis was supposedly divided into 10 kingdoms ruled by 10 kings. Conspiracy-oriented researchers believe that modern global elites are inspired by such models and seek to build a similar governance structure on a worldwide scale.
