Planet Earth, an arena of «sovereign» countries in their historical struggle for power, has been in the state of permanent anarchy. The League of Nations and the United Nations with voluntary membership have not changed this condition.In the nuclear age, however, not the borders of states, but the survival of mankind is at stake.
