"The Simultaneous Policy (SP) aims to restore genuine democracy by creating a genuine 'community of nation states' built upon consensus such that proper democratic control over global markets and corporations is restored. The ultimate aim of SP is the transformation of the international economy such that it operates in harmony with the global natural environment and with the needs of human nature. The measures required to bring this about will be implemented globally and simultaneously. Governments, politicians, individuals and other organisations can adopt the principle of SP today. See  http://www.simpol.org/ for further details and to adopt SP. SP will be implemented when all or nearly all governments have adopted SP, in accordance with the conditions set in the policy. The following unofficial draft policy is a possible set of measures to be implemented. This may be reproduced, with or without alterations, in any form as long as this header is included. If alterations are made to the text, this must be clearly indicated in the title. The text that follows may have been altered.
