The United Nations of Sol

The United Nations of Sol is the unified government of Earth and her Nations, Luna, and all colonial sovereignties of the Sol System in the year 2350. The United Nations of Sol was formed on November 5th, 2262, following the end of the 2nd Invasion War. The UNS was formed out of necessity. Centuries of turmoil would bring humanity closer and closer together, resulting in an agreement between all sovereign nations and entities within Sol, and the writing of the Constitution of Mankind. The United Nations of Sol spans across dozens of star systems within the local region of the Milky Way (See notable colonies WIP).

## \*\*\*Government\*\*\*

The United Nations of Sol follows a Federal system of Government, with Sovereignties having power to make their own local decisions but matters of significance and representing humanity and a whole such as interspecies relations, interspecies trade, Defense, War, Federal laws, and others are ultimately left to the central government. The UNS chain of command starts with The General Secretary of the UNS (think of them as a president, although the two are quite different), and the Under-Secretary of the UNS (Vice President). Directly under them is the Sectoral Senate, House of Representatives and Military/Civilian Liaison Office. It is at this level were the split between the civilian and military governments truly starts, aside from the Department of State and the Department of Homeland Security which is jointly commanded by both sides.

### **The Share of Power**

Due to the growing military might and initiative of Humanity in its current state, the Shared Ambitions act was passed on November 7th, 2262. This resulted in a political and administrative split between military and civilian functions. This was done for many reasons; The new human civilization had evolved into a revolutionary society. The events of the Invasion war ever changed the face of humanity, warrior cultures, genetic bloodlines, diverse ideologies and more developed out of it. The wars bred a new kind of people, these people knew war, they embraced it, they understood it. But it wasn't for malicious means, it wasn't blind service, it wasn't fanatic militarism or extremism. It was necessity, hope, freedom, equality, and merit. These people would form their own identity, and this identity would focus on the defense and stability of humanity through military service, whether it be by assisting in reconstruction efforts, community assistance, law enforcement, anti-piracy, or ultimately, fighting Humanity's wars. They formed a loose belief system that states that all men, women, and children of Humanity are born with a clean slate and a blessing of freedom, but if one chooses to fight for humanity, they become warriors, serving their due until victory or death. To them, all that mattered was securing humanity's future so that everyone else can live and thrive. This ideology split hearts and minds across mankind, which caused it to be the leading reason behind the Shared Ambitions act. There were other reasons, such as increasing government efficiency, increasing veterancy, and improving fighting effectiveness among many others. Over the years it developed into a true political and ideological split. One side boasted necessary wars and power, the other argued peace, pacifism, and often stated that having such a powerful military was a waste of time and effort.

## **\*\*\*Politics!\*\*\***

Even in this age, political ideologies can yield unsettling amount of power and influence. From the basic citizens, to corporate leaders, to Navy Admirals, politics and ideas runs strong. So strong in fact, the factions and violence from Humanity's past have resurfaced. In a way, the freedoms of the UNS are abused. Ideas, words, punches, bullets, Molotov cocktails, all of them spawned from simple disagreements to political incidents. Pacifist vs Militarist, Xenophile vs Xenophobe, Outlaw AI or Embrace it? to colonize or not to colonize? These and many others are ideas that constantly conflict each other among society, not far off from our past. When the first Invasion war hit, many of those who doubted humanity, retreated to their shells, fell into their emotions, or embraced cowardice fell. Humanity was transformed into a total war focused society. You wake up, and you either fight or contribute to it, if you are male, lead your sons to battle, if you are a female, bear children, help the wounded, be the brains, and if you are still of use, then you fight. Many concepts like money. sovereignty, greed, racism, sexism, and others were crushed when the Invasion War took place, it was do or die, and if you held on to these ideals, you had better pray the aliens execute you before you are rescued. Everything was done for the benefit of man, and if you didn't agree, you didn't survive. But after all that turmoil, Humanity's imperfection bared its teeth once again.

Politics and ideologies change wherever you look. Earth and Luna are typically mixed, with many people learning to tolerate each other after so many years of hate. The Martians lived a sedentary and compact lifestyle, prioritizing communes and labor (Heh, red planet huh.). Those on the asteroids rebelled against extortion from time to time, and embraced the quiet void, living independent lifestyles. And those on Alpha Centauri lived away from war, death, and destruction, focusing on peace and scientific progress, with many believing in pacifism.
