Global Country of World Peace (GCWP), is a non-profit, charitable, organization which incorporated in the state of Iowa on October 15 2002 with Dr. Bevan Morris as its president. According to its Articles of Incorporation it is a corporation organized and operated exclusively for charitable, educational and scientific purposes. The corporation has its headquarters in Maharishi Vedic City, Iowa.Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of the Transcendental Meditation (TM) program, inspired the creation of this organization and describes it as a country without borders for peace loving people everywhere. GCWP also aims to support existing governments and assist them in creating problem free administration for their nation. Through the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programs, the GCWP aspires to provide peace creating technologies that also maintain cultural diversity. The GCWP's intention is to have a parental and nourishing role in the family of nations.
Structure
On October 12 2000 the Maharishi appointed Lebanese neuroscientist, Tony Nader, MD, PhD, Maharaja Adhiraj Raam (Vedic king), the "First Sovereign Ruler of the Global Country of World Peace". Additionally, the GCWP is administered by 40 ministers and an unspecified number of administrators, called Rajas, all trained and appointed by the Maharishi, and coming from various professional and national backgrounds. While each minister has global responsibility for his ministry, for example, agriculture, education, science and technology, etc., each Raja is responsible for implementing the programs of each ministry within a specific geographical area.
Constitution of the Universe
The constitution of the GCWP is not a written document. Termed the Constitution of the Universe, it is said to be the complete knowledge of all the laws of nature, which modern science explains in the language of physics, chemistry, mathematics, etc. It is believed that the same cosmic intelligence that administers the entire universe perfectly can be used to support all the constitutions of the world with equal perfection. The Maharishi's programs are said to provide the education necessary to harness nature's intelligence so that every nation can rise to affluence, perfect health, and invincibility, thereby creating world peace.

Peace Palace's have been completed in Bethesda, Maryland, Houston, Texas, Fairfield, Iowa and Lexington, Kentucky.
Each of the Peace Palaces is designed according to the principles of Maharishi Vedic Architecture which are said to promote health, happiness and good fortune. The Global Country of World Peace is in the process of building "Peace Palaces" in locations in America and outside the U.S.A as well.
Utilizing donations from supporters, the GCWP has built a 210,000 square foot campus in Maharishi Vedic City, Iowa, to house 1,050 Vedic pandits from India.
GCWP also has plans to build a university campus on land it owns at the geographic center of the United States, in central Kansas. This university, is to be called Central University.
