Western European Plutocracy

The is an economic organization that effectively rules the world in the World of Fate/EX.
==History==
After Overcount 1999, the Harwey family predicted the following issue of the resources of the world running out. Developing a great fear of the ramifications, their solution was the careful management of the , where a new energy resource could be mined, placing undivided attention on the area. It is speculated that the Holy Church helped the Harwey family due to a large influx of financial resources gathering under them. With the depletion of resources, the fact that a new energy source at the North Pole was held by the Harwey's Western European Plutocracy made them the de facto rulers of the world. It made strict resource utilization agreements and formed alliances with 45 developed countries, creating the (NERO) in 2015, with its main goals being to strictly limit the excavation and utilization of earthly and lunar resources. Since most of the countries in the northern hemisphere had joined it, all resource excavation activities on Earth are in fact controlled by NERO. Eventually, 48 countries came to be supervised by NERO, which meant in turn being governed by the Western European Plutocracy.Fate/the Fact - ARTIFACT ON THE MOON: Concealed Truth, Artifact is Discovered on the Moon, p.03 It has been said that with these 48 countries, the Western European Plutocracy controls 67% of the global economy and 90% of the global military force. In fact, when using the world "world", it can refer to countries governed by the Western European Plutocracy.Fate/the Fact - Truth behind the Atlas temple, p.13
The Western European Plutocracy did not act like a cruel dictatorship, but instead declared to all that it would manage and distribute the remaining resources to ensure the survival of mankind, so they helped not only Europe but everyone around the world. Under the direction of the West Europe Plutocracy, cities around the world created an ideal system of city management known as Fate/EXTRA - 3.disillusionment/suspended animation: 3rd WEEK_The third selection - Day 7 or which eliminated most poverty and strife, with the Plutocracy ushering in a new era of city-nations and striving to promote universal acceptance of refugees regardless of race. Notably, under this focus on human rights, the Western European Plutocracy provided aid to those looking to leave Japan once it became a failed state, as it considers human resources as important as natural ones, and see Japanese people as a good resource.
As a result, advanced technology became focused in the western part of the Eurasian continent. Countries that were suffering from poverty were given resource assistance, and the Plutocracy continued to expand its umbrella of influence. It has encircled the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans with its centers in Europe, India, and North America,Fate/the Fact - Truth behind the Atlas temple, p.14 and even has taken control of Jerusalem. The United States of America, the United Kingdom of Britain (however reluctantly,Fate/EXTRA - 2.arousal/border alliance: 2nd WEEK_The second selection - Day 1 as the Royal Family opposes the Harweys), and India are allies of the Western European Plutocracy, and provide for large amounts of the Western European Plutocracy’s military operations. The organization possesses a large religious influence, and they have a good relationship with Pope Laurentis. This is how the Harwey family, as head of the Plutocracy, effectively gained enough power to be considered the rulers of the world.
Alongside its management of cities, the Plutocracy also put a freeze on all technology, especially aerospace industry and space-related technology development. This was partly motivated by the discovery of the Moon Cell in 1973, after which everyone tried to claim it as their own and so the Harweys put a stop to any attempt at landing on the moon.Fate/EXTRA- 4th WEEK_The fourth selection - Leonardo B. Harwey conversation This was also out of personal conviction, as the Harwey family has always restricted new technology as they believe that technical progress is unnecessary. Proclaiming "Mankind has no need for further technological advancement in this area," the Plutocracy aimed to refine and regulate the management of society. Despite there being a slow trickle of advancement and new technology, no genius talent has appeared with a breakthrough. There are cell phones and smartphones as normal, but new discoveries, scientific breakthroughs, even space travel have all come to a standstill. Mankind has yet to even explore the moon.Fate/EXTRA - 5.un born/dead end: 5th WEEK_The fifth selection - Day 6 Furthermore, the development of weapons has led to an extreme decrease in the availability of resources, which peaked in the year 2000.
Hostilities between Western Europe and Islam have intensified, and there is endless conflict. Islamic countries had blamed their downfall after Overcount 1999 on the “machine-like management of cities and resources” and prepared to fight back against the factions of Western Europe, however they are losing their identity as nations and are thus unable to continue fighting back properly, so they are resigned to just using guerrilla warfare. It is said that the Islamic resistance will be driven back and defeated in about 5 years.
==Characteristics==
The Western European Plutocracy is a corporation with numerous subsidiaries that control many nations and has its own army. Led by the Harwey family, they can be called the king of Earth, as about 30% of the world's land and 60% of the world's wealth, based on GDP, belong to it.Fate/EXTRA - 5.un born/dead end: 5th WEEK_The fifth selection - Day 5
The territories directly controlled by the Western European Plutocracy are stable by means of a completely controlled society, and the aristocracy has come back into existence.
The city management system implemented by the Western European Plutocracy created a utopia without conflict (or possibly a dystopia that has reduced the self-awareness of the people). Within cities under the jurisdiction of the Western European Plutocracy, all people are treated equally, with even orphans like the Sakagami siblings receiving ample care and protection, even a free education.Fate/EXTRA CCC Fox Tail Chapter 52: "Sakagami Kazuhito 2" They have freedom of work and study, and their welfare program works perfectly.Fate/EXTRA CCC - Chapter 2: Prison of Projections -Girl’s Side Laboratory- In this harmonious city system, the ruling class and worker class are clearly separated, and even if you are part of the ruling class, your future is precisely managed. There is no racial discrimination, and treatment only differs based on actual ability, however there is no stipulation that all humans are made equal, and it is deemed enough as long as people are equal within their group, which ironically amounts to extreme racial discrimination.
The Plutocracy isn't perfect, as selfish, perverse individuals continue to exist within its hierarchy. Human rights aren't granted to clones, who are considered something on the order of an AI with flesh.Fate/EXTRA CCC - Chapter 4: Anesthesia Fortress -Sick/Home Sink- As Rin Tohsaka, a member of the Resistance, points out, under the Plutocracy's definition of "a world where everyone has their place", it effectively means a world where it decides who lives and who dies, whether a child is to be fed or left to starve, where a person's entire life is dictated by the whims of the Harwey family's desires. This appears to be a correct accusation, as part of the reason why the earth's population decreased is due to the Western European Plutocracy controlling even the birth rate. The Plutocracy's utopia is a paradise based on stasis and class immobility, no change and no hope for a better future, stability at the expense of hope and joy, a world where people don't live only merely exist. It also subjugates any hostile forces on its mission to push forward and unify the planet under this system that they think is ideal, to the point the Harweys view the populations of Asia as "expendable", unless they choose to support their aims in which case they will integrate them.
Due to Wizards having human rights, even the West European Plutocracy couldn't monopolize them.
