E7

The Seven Earth States (E7) is an intergovernmental, intercontinental and international organization and forum of 7 Earthling governments and 17 nation-states located primarily in Asia, consisting of the heads of state of the respective countries, their economy czars, heads of parliament and military. The E7 had a total of 71.2 million square kilometers it laid claim to - 36.1% of the total land area on Earth - and a population exceeding 5.1 billion. The E7 has been compared to both the European Union and the G7 of the 21st-century. The E7 is headquartered in New Delhi, India with other offices in Shanghai, New York City, Sydney, Nairobi, Bangkok, Jakarta, Singapore, Armstrong, Atlantopolis and Tokyo.
Home to 52.6% of the Earth's population and 17 of Earth's 33 nations, the E7 boasted a GDP of $100.2 trillion - or roughly 76.7% of the global economy. In possession of a majority of the planet's ecosphere, the E7 is home to a majority of the world's megadiverse regions, diverse wildlife, a variety of ecological systems, and extensive natural resources spanning numerous protected habitats. Additionally, all E7 states except Arabia and East Africa have a very high Citizen Development Index according to the Sol Development Programme. Its cornerstone, the Customs Federation, paved the way to establishing an internal single market based on standardised legal framework and legislation that applies in all member states in those matters, and only those matters, where the states have agreed to act as one. E7 policies aim to ensure the free movement of people, goods, services and capital within the internal market; enact legislation in justice and home affairs; and maintain common policies on trade, agriculture, fisheries and regional development. Passport controls have been abolished for travel within the Terran Area. The Terrazone is a group composed of the 10 E7 member states that have fully implemented the economic and monetary union and use the Earth Dollar currency. Through the Common Cosmos and Security Policy, the union has developed a role in external relations and defence. It maintains permanent diplomatic missions throughout the Solar System and represents itself at the Committee of Solar System Republics (CSSR).
The then-E6's mission of peace and security was compromised in its early days with the Frozen War tensions between the Asia-Pacific and the Internationalists as well as the ongoing Atlantean-Lunar crisis due to the E6's special relationship with both Atlantis and Luna. Unable to take a definitive position until the autumn of 2211 when Lunar-backed AI attacked Atlantean space and forced the E7 to act, the Earthling Committee was viewed as an ineffective arbiter of peace in the Solar System for being the only major Solar System power to remain silent during Luna's oppression of nearly half the Atlantean civilian population since the 2180's. With the engagement being a disaster for E7 forces, the aura of Earthling invincibility was shattered as the emboldened Lunars regrouped for another attack in February 2213, this time with assistance from extraterrestrial forces. Although the battle was a victory for E7 forces, the 17 February 2213 orbital attack on Patagonia would claim the lives of nearly a million people, and call into question the E7's effectiveness. 
The E7 has six principal operational organizations: the Earthling Parliamentary Assembly, the Earth Security Council, the Earth Economic and Social Council, the Earth Court of Justice, the Earth Committee, and the Trusteeship Council overseeing the Neptune-Uranus territory (although this organization has been inactive since 2196). The E7 System includes a multitude of specialized agencies, funds, and programmes, including the Earth Bank Group, the Earth Health Organization, the Earth Food Programme and Earth Children's Fund (ECF). Additionally, non-governmental organizations may be granted consultative status with the Economic and Social Council and other agencies.
The E7's chief administrative officer is the commissioner, currently Indian politician and diplomat Fatima Devi, who began her first five year-term on 1 January 2210 and was re-elected on 8 June 2215. The organization is financed by assessed and voluntary contributions from its member states.
==History==
===Origins===
Although the E7 was not formally established until 2208 the E6 and its predecessors existed as far back as the early-21st century in the form of the G7, spearheaded by the U.S., Britain and Japan. In the 2100's, Eurasianists began to spread amongst various Russian and Turkic polities. This would unravel into the Second European War beginning in the 2140's and the Second Turkish-Arab War in the same decade as the expansionist Turkish Union and their allies in East Europe and Thailand began to bear down on Western Europe, Southeast Asia and the Arab World. A defensive alliance akin to the Allies in WWII was established in 2151 spearheaded by the American States, India-Pakistan and Japan and consisting of Australia, New Zealand, East Indonesia, the Philippines and Canada liberate Southeast Asia from Imperial Thailand by 2152 but stalemate the internationalists in England and Arabia, with England, Greece, South Africa, Ethiopia, Texas, New England and the Atlantic State acceding to the E7 Accords as Observer Members in the early 2200's.
===First summit and expansion===
The E5 Group or 'Group of Five Earth Governments (G5EG)' would be established at the first summit in Nairobi in 2157, attended by the heads of state of the A.S., India-Pakistan and East Africa and representatives from Arabia and Levant. 
By 2200 the E6 had been joined by Brazil, which had been absorbed into the American States, Arabia, East Africa and Levant while Japan would be joined by Australia, China, Southeast Asia, New Zealand and the rest of Oceania under the banner of the Asia-Pacific Treaty Organization - a regional international state unto its own right - which would become the Sixth Member-State of the E6 in 2203. Korea would join in 2208 after leaving the Federal Republic of State Nations to formally establish the E7.

===Rise to prominence===
==Politics==
With the inception of its birth to mixed results, the Earth Committee would remain a controversial organization and never reach the level of unity it sought to attain, primarily split between a big-tent centrist to center-left and left-wing coalition of social libertarian isolationists with questionable ties to both extremist human supremacist organizations and ecofascist anti-human speciesist AI supremacists; and an alternating opposition centrist to center-right neoliberal interventionists with allegiances to an emerging plutocratic oligarchy. Third-party left-wing socialists and right-wing libertarians also represented a significant minority of around 15% and 5% respectively.
===Foreign policy & military===
==Economy==
With a combined GDP of roughly $100.2 trillion the E7 constitutes 76% of the planet's economic output at $6,600 per capita by individual, making its citizens poorer on average than other Solar Republics with a wider wealth gap - meaning Earth's wealthy were wealthier than than the on-average wealthier-than-average-Earthlings' counterparts living in space.
==Demographics==
Hinduism is the most practiced religion on the planet with nearly a quarter of the population adhering to it, Christianity is a close-second with 21.3% of the world population practicing some form of Christianity. There are also large minorities of Atheists and Muslims living in the Americas and throughout Arabia and Southeast Asia respectively. Asians constitute a slim majority of the population of the E7 at 52.5% - Han Chinese and the Indo-Aryan ethnolinguistic group being the largest and second-largest populations inhabiting the E7, together constituting over half of the E7 population, with the third and fourth-largest populations being of African and European-descent at 18% and 11% respectively. The E7 is home to the largest population of AI citizens, with estimates ranging between 71.4 million AI and 92 million, primarily in the American States, Australia, Japan, Korea and China.
