  1. Deliver the DDP to every country on Earth — The Global Party Pandemic, AKA The Grand Unification Tour.
  2. Cap it off with The ’Stan Tour.
  3. Host a Simultaneous Global Dance Party, transmitted to everyone in the world at once.
  4. Be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for Partying. Twice in a row.

— The Official DDP Field Manual. This was not a joke.
