The Vision of Paul Elvère DELSART, aka Henry HARPER.pdf

1 – Introduction to the Universe of the Green Empire of the East and the West
The Green Empire of the East and the West is a utopian and futuristic universe created by Paul Elvere
DELSART, a French social engineer, author, editor, entrepreneur, and artist. This concept takes the form of
a Live-Action Role-Playing game in an Alternate Reality, where the line between fiction and reality is
intentionally blurred. At the heart of this universe lies the EL4DEV Confederation, a supranational
organization that has established a post-modern golden age through a multitude of city-states around the
world. This confederation seeks to build an ideal alternative society based on equity, justice for all, respect
for living beings, and a strong ecological initiative. In the Green Empire of the East and the West,
participants act as reformers of societal structures and codes. Its innovative transmedia storytelling allows
for full immersion in this universe, through utopian philosophical tales, novels, short story collections,
comic books, narrative and promotional videos, concept art, explanatory infographics, video documentaries,
press articles, magazines, and more. These media serve as entry points into the live-action role-playing
game. The Empire is led by a mysterious, self-proclaimed Green Emperor of the East and the West, also
known as "Henry Harper", who founded the Empire in France and has been expanding it throughout the
Mediterranean from Spain. The Empire is characterized by the construction of vertical eco-landscaped plant
structures and self-managed educational agricultural garden-cities, with the ultimate goal of transforming
Earth into a true forest planet.
2 – How the Green Empire of the East and the West Functions
Also known as the EL4DEV Confederation, the Green Empire of the East and the West is a transdisciplinary
project created by Paul Elvere DELSART. It proposes an alternative societal model combining ecology,
spirituality, innovation, and cooperation, aiming to establish a more just and sustainable civilization. The
Empire is structured around small autonomous municipalities, each with fewer than 5,000 inhabitants. These
units are interconnected through horizontal cooperation agreements, promoting local self-sufficiency and
community resource management. This model opposes centralized governments and large corporations that
dominate the global economy. The infrastructures labeled "LE PAPILLON SOURCE" are self-managed
agroecological complexes inspired by medieval commanderies. They ensure local food production,
ecosystem regeneration, and the free distribution of surplus to those in need. These structures aim to
transform Earth into a forest planet rich in biodiversity and edible resources. The Empire introduces the
EL4DEV Green Coin, a stable, non-speculative cryptocurrency backed by tangible assets such as ecological
farmland. This currency is designed to replace traditional financial systems by promoting a real economy
based on the fair production and distribution of resources. The EL4DEV Confederation favors a societal
diplomacy based on cultural and intellectual exchanges rather than political or economic agreements. It
encourages active citizen participation in collective governance, relying on collaborative and
multidisciplinary intelligence. The Empire incorporates a spiritual dimension, drawing inspiration from
traditions such as Catharism, Sufism, and the teachings of the early Templars. It aims to place humans back
at the center of a balanced ecosystem, where nature and spirituality are prioritized over materialism and
excessive consumption. In summary, the Green Empire of the East and the West proposes a radical
alternative to the current capitalist model, advocating for a decentralized, ecological, spiritual, and
cooperative society.
3 – Paul Elvere DELSART’s Process for Building the Green Empire of the East and the West
Paul Elvere DELSART designed the Green Empire of the East and the West as a radical alternative to
current societal structures, relying on the EL4DEV program. This project aims to establish an ethical,
ecological, and participatory global civilization by transforming society through concrete and
transdisciplinary initiatives. At the core of this vision lies the EL4DEV program, a systemic
multidisciplinary engineering process combining transnational cooperation, social entrepreneurship, change
management, and information technologies. This program also includes ecological infrastructure, positivefocused media, and research and development initiatives to catalyze profound societal transformation. The
“LE PAPILLON SOURCE” complexes are self-managed agroecological and touristic infrastructures
designed to revitalize rural territories. These structures provide local food production, ecosystem
regeneration, and free surplus distribution to those in need. They play a key role in transforming Earth into a
