Unified nations spanning continents can bring massive economic and military power to bear on their rivals.

The greater the divisions between the nations of the world, the greater the potential for someone - or something - to exploit them. Discord only makes us weaker, at a time when all the peoples of the world should stand together in the face of seismic change. It is time to put the petty conflicts of yesteryear aside, and for states and nations to group together into new super-powers, with the resources and togetherness required both to adapt to the alien dawn and to successfully colonize neighboring worlds. While no nation wants to give up its culture or history, there are those who are inherently sympathetic to each other and those inherently allied against the creeds of others. The right policies and the right treaties would ensure national identities are respected even as borders crumble. Lessons too must be learned from the past, if we are to avoid the disruptive nationalist movements and extreme partisanship of recent decades. The road to these super-states will not be an easy one; there will need to be untold referendums and elections, not to mention chaos in the financial sector and from newly-unbound freedom of movement. But the end will justify the torturous means. The alien arrival - visitors from not just another nation, but another world entirely - means that traditional geographical boundaries have lost almost all relevance. Continent-wide super-nations sharing a singular vision, thus representing our greatest hope of facing down tyranny - whether from elsewhere in our world, or from others far beyond it.
