I highly recommend this two-volume science fiction and military adventure novel.

By the year 2150 the progressives had won. They’d taken control of the entire Earth and set up a global government based on a hereditary caste system with the progressives, of course, as the ruling caste.

Progressives were able to establish themselves as the hereditary rulers of the planet because another earth-like planet was discovered. It was used as a dumping ground for the undesirables of Earth – those who opposed the progressives.

The new world developed on a path parallel to Old Earth until the progressives recognized these undisciplined, rapidly procreating, and increasingly powerful people would eventually threaten their rule.

So, they meddled in the affairs of Terra Nova. But the law of unintended consequences prevails and progressives created an implacable enemy – they changed Patrick Hennessey into Patrico Carrera, the Duque.
