1 – The Green Empire of the East and the West is a global cultural ecosystem that transcends nations
The Green Empire of the East and the West, also known as the EL4DEV Confederation, is both the largest of modern empires and the most innovative. It is not built on military dominance or economic hegemony, but rather on the conquest of minds, the elevation of consciousness, and the reinvention of the bond between humans and nature. It unfolds on a planetary scale by transforming agricultural territories, enriching local ecosystems, and stimulating the collective imagination to generate new narratives, new models, and new societies. This empire has no fixed capital and no single center of power. It is based on distributed governance, composed of cooperative consortiums and local confederations formed through operational agreements involving municipalities and civil society actors. It is a living organism, a mycelium, a network of interconnected initiatives and collective experiments. Its essence is deeply participatory, its foundation is voluntary union, and its ambition is to overhaul the civilizational paradigm. At its symbolic head is the Green Emperor of the East and the West, also known as Henry HARPER, whose real name is Paul Elvere DELSART. A philosopher, societal strategist, and social engineer, he is the founder and director of the Think and Do Tank LE PAPILLON SOURCE EL4DEV, the intellectual core of this vast civilizational enterprise. Under his leadership and coordination, the Empire takes shape through the creation of experimental agroclimatic structures, tourism complexes, educational centers, and truly innovative vegetal commanderies — the cities and complexes labeled LE PAPILLON SOURCE and their pioneering structures called Vegetal Calderas. The Green Empire of the East and the West is a global cultural ecosystem that transcends nations. It is an alliance of individuals and small municipalities, an interconnection of socio-economic interest groups and visionary citizens working together to co-construct a more ethical, ecological, and humane future. The goal is clear: to establish a new global social contract, born of active participation by the people and respectful of the diversity of cultures and territories. Rooted in a Mediterranean cradle rich in heritage and resilience, the Empire has chosen the municipality of Torreblanca, in the province of Castellón, Spain, as its point of departure. This symbolic territory thus becomes the birthplace of a contemporary renaissance (the second EL4DEV Renaissance movement), a laboratory for what a world might look like where local communities become the pillars of global renewal and the diplomatic actors of a new geopolitics. Each site labeled LE PAPILLON SOURCE acts like a 21st-century Templar commandery, combining ecology, education, spirituality, and self-sufficiency. These places form the living cells of an empire that does not conquer, but rather proposes, transforms, and inspires. Ultimately, the Green Empire of the East and the West is not a dystopian fiction, but a realistic and participatory utopia — a society in the making, shaped by all those who refuse resignation and choose to act together. It embodies the possibility of another world, within reach of our will.
2 – Do not underestimate the Green Empire of the East and the West — For every day, history is written in silence
At first glance, it would be easy to dismiss the Green Empire of the East and the West as just another utopia, an idealistic project among many. But that would be a fundamental misjudgment. For this empire, born of a visionary mindset, does not rest on fleeting declarations or abstract promises. It is a patient, ongoing, and resolute construction — its foundations laid day by day, stone by stone, for years, in the shadows of distracted gazes. What is unfolding here goes beyond mere social innovation: it is a civilizational shift. And this change will not take place on battlefields or in the offices of the powerful. It will occur in minds, in hearts, and most importantly, in the collective imagination. Imagination is the true battleground of this century. For every lasting transformation begins with a vision. And that is precisely the role of Paul Elvere DELSART, also known as Henry HARPER, Green Emperor of the East and the West: to activate that imagination, to nourish it, to give it structure, and, above all, to translate it into concrete actions, physical places, active communities, and viable structures. Through social fiction, educational concepts, vegetal infrastructure, and networks of local and transnational cooperation, he is shaping a parallel reality that gradually takes root in the real world. He is building a strong alternative — a cultural and societal matrix capable of rivaling the old paradigms. To overlook this work is to ignore the world that is emerging. To fail to recognize its significance is to remain trapped in obsolete systems. The Green Empire of the East and the West is evolving, growing, spreading. It conquers without violence — simply by awakening consciousness. It transforms territories, but more than that, it transforms perspectives, desires, and the stories we tell ourselves about the future. It does not need immediate recognition to exist. It moves forward with those who can see further. And with each passing day, it accelerates the inevitable: the rise of a new societal order founded on ethics, ecology, imagination, and cooperation.
