Supraorganization

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard of a club or a group that you can join with other people who have the same interests or hobbies as you? Well, supraorganization is kinda like that, but for really, really big organizations like countries or companies or even the United Nations.

You know how countries like the United States or France have their own rules and leaders that make decisions just for them? That's called being independent or self-governed. But sometimes, countries, companies, or groups need to work together because they have problems that can't be solved by just their own leaders or people.

That's when supraorganization comes into play - they are like a big club that helps different independent countries, companies, or groups work together to solve bigger problems that affect everyone. Supraorganizations can have their own leaders and they meet to come up with solutions that can benefit everyone involved.

Imagine you have a bunch of toys but you and your friends can't decide who gets to play with what toy. That's when your mom or dad steps in to help you find a solution that makes everyone happy. That's kinda like what supraorganizations do for big organizations - they help them find solutions to problems that make everyone happy.
