271. A World Without Borders

[You can read chapters in advance, OP and GOT fic on -patreon.com/misterimmortal.]

Hector took a long breath in his office and headed off to Canada to sign the first ever World without Borders treaty. Doing it was easy as both nations shared a long border and were culturally connected in language and also the economy.

When he arrived in Ottawa, he was greeted by the Prime Minister. The nation had already taken the required measures to ensure the deal was made. Their Parliament had passed the necessary laws and regulations needed.

Soon, in the Prime Minister's office, the final deal was signed. Fury was also there, so it was all official.

With that, history was made, and the world was shocked that something like this could even happen. However, a few saw it as the United States expanding its empire by occupying the majority of the northern American continent.

However, on the same day, Hector traveled to the United Kingdom with Fury and met the current Prime Minister. A similar deal was signed with the nation, effectively allowing all citizens of the US, UK, and Canada to move around freely.

He was only targeting the English-speaking nations at first because this would slowly create a sense of envy, and more nations would be willing to join.

After this trip, he also went to Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. In all places, the deals were signed. But, of course, each nation was still allowed to have some checks and balances to ensure their nation was not demographically destroyed.

Hector had made all the necessary changes required.

In 24 hours only, the world saw the new largest nation appearing out of nowhere. It was a historical day, and Hector was in the middle of it.

The news, the people, and the Internet were divided. Most were not against the deal, but they were accusing of Anglospeher getting stronger and preparing for colonialism 2.0.

However, the very next day, Hector signed a similar deal with France and Germany, effectively stopping all the claims of the rise of the Anglosphere.

However, Hector's eyes were on the whole of Europe, not just a few nations. So the next to join over the coming weeks were Spain, Portugal, Iceland, Italy, Israel, Austria, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium, Norway, and Sweden. Finland was also invited, but they denied it, fearing Russian aggression.

So Hector went a bit south and took Greece in. The biggest helper in the EU was the Catholic Church, as Hector had not let some of his control go from the organization since the days of the world war.

A month later, Hector went to some of the eastern European nations. But in many of these nations, Hector had to make a regime change months ago, so this could happen.

Poland, Czechia, Slovenia, Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro, Albania, Bosnia, and Herzegovina were added. This effectively covered most of Europe, and this brought Hector to the border of an old enemy.

After that, Hector stopped and let the heat die down a little, as it was time to first manage these nations. The biggest nation in the entire world had come into existence, after all. Some of the eastern European nations also needed help as they were not as rich.

So Hector went on an infrastructure spree, laying bullet train tracks around the major cities and regions of Europe. Not only that, he created something called Maga Industrial Corridors, which traveled between major industrial places of the continent, and all roads and rails were connected with the nearest seaports.

But the place needed a new name and flag. So the name, "United Terra" was announced, with a flag showing seven rings intertwined in each other, showcasing that all continents were connected to one another.

But still, much of the work was remaining, and he knew it. So, to quicken it, he went to a live stream again, from the Stark Tower. Behind him were various superheroes, sitting there and talking.

"Hello everyone, I hope you're doing fine, eating healthy, and working hard. But don't overwork yourself. I recently heard the news of a kid killing himself in Korea because he failed an exam to become a doctor.

"It's truly saddening that as parents, we care so much for their safety when they are little, but as they grow, we stop bothering and become the abuser instead. A smiling face could be hiding a thousand tears behind, so you should be careful.

"I know what it feels like to fail at something. My father considered me a failure. I guess he was not a very good judge of talent potential. Similarly, most parents are not. I do wonder how many Leonardo Da Vinci and Shakespeare we lost around the world because their parents wanted them to become engineers, doctors, or lawyers.

"Kids, I sympathize with you, and that is why I am going to be starting mega colleges around the world that will teach you the high-paying professions of tomorrow. As you may know, I am on a mission to unite the world and make it a space civilization.

"Let me tell you, once we're a space-faring species, everything will change. So, after the end of the stream, I will add a link to a PDF in the comments, open it and read it well.

"But coming back to the topic of uniting the world. I know many nations are scared of joining the United Terra, fearing retaliation from a bigger power. But let me say this today in front of... 1.3 billion viewers.

"If you want to join, just ring me up, and I will publicly announce that an attack on you will be an attack on me—and as you already know, I can chew a nuke and throw it away like a toothpick.

"So if anyone wishes to fight, they must think a billion times... still, only to be proven wrong. Well, with that, I will end the stream. I have some business with the heroes. Talk to you later, and kids, don't fret about exams."

Hector ended the stream and added the link to the PDF. Then joined the rest of the superheroes at the bar.

"So I guess we're are not Americans anymore?" Tony wondered.

"We never were. We were always Terrans. America is just a name given by a man. Americans are just a nationality we created by drawing borders." Hector replied as he poured himself a cold one.

Charles was sitting not far. "How will you join the African nations? Even Asian nations? Not all of them are rich, the people there have a different culture, and forgive me for saying this... but not all people have a mindset of being law-abiding because of long habits."

"It will happen eventually. The United Terra will have a common law, and if they want to join us, then they will have to implement and enforce these laws; these include public safety and law enforcement laws, this way, we can have uniformity all over the planet.

"I am not trying to kill the uniqueness of each nation, but rather join all humans together as one," Hector explained.

Steve asked, "What are your plans for South America?"

"There? Haha, most of the Carribien is in my control, and a few South American nations too. With Venezuela, I was able to jump-start the economies of the region. So they will eventually join us easily.

"Remember, any nation can be rich as long as its government is intelligent and strong. Unfortunately, this was not the case for many years in the region. The countries had a very myopic vision. They were too conservative regarding their economy and came out as protectionists.

"Now, with better politics and my help, we will see a boom. Once their Human Development Index crosses 7, I will bring them under the fold."

It appeared that everything was planned and going according to plan.

"Woah, look there! Who is that?" Tony suddenly jumped from his seat and walked to the large glass panel of the building.

Hector also looked and recognized the burning skeleton climbing a building on a motorcycle.

"Ghost Rider? What's he doing here?"
