The Communauté des Etats du Monde (The Symphony That Never Ends)

The Communauté des Etats du Monde, or CEM, is the Shikaku-mon version of the United Nations. Established at the instigation of Brazil and the Pope during the Britannic War, its purpose is to prevent war, especially between the superpowers. The CEM Assembly has representatives from most of the world's nations, including several of those contained in the Swedish and Japanese Empires. The High Council, on the other hand, comprises one representative from each of the four superpowers, three other members selected from the Assembly, and a nonvoting delegate from the Holy See. Resolutions of either body are considered binding on all nations including nonmembers. Each of the four superpowers has veto powers.
The CEM is really just a shouting platform unless the superpowers collectively want to accomplish something. However, it has proved its value: it was used to sponsor the Atomic Restriction treaty, which prevented nuclear proliferation beyond the superpowers, and the Earth Orbit Disarmament Treaty, which demilitarized orbital space with CEM inspection teams. Most of Shikaku-mon credits the CEM with forestalling the Last War in 1977 and probably 2006 as well.
