The Federation of the United Nations

The flag of the Federation.

*“Welcome to the Federation. A civilization of united peoples who stand for the better. We have fought each other for thousands of years, but that time is over. We have put our petty differences away for something far greater: To create an intergalactic federation for all to prosper. Any who pledge their allegiance are able to become a citizen of this center of civil rights. Together we march forward! For the Federation!” - Federal President Daniel Fairman Hedges*

The Federation of the United Nations, commonly known as the Federation, is the official government of the Earthborn humans. Founded in 2026 after the invasion by the Hivemind, the Federation was originally a collection of independent countries which united together to reinforce Earthborn humanity's security when they realized they were not alone. As a democracy, its core values are inspired by the precursor country, the United States of America.

Originally known as the United Nations, a non-governmental organization of countries, the Federation was created to better serve as a united force for the people of Earth fighting against the Hivemind during the Defense of Earth. Created on the Armistice Day of 2026, countless disputes were concluded and saw the growth of the United Nations into a full government encompassing all of Earthborn humanity. Leaders from all remaining countries of Earth held a referendum for a united Earth to better combat the Hivemind, and there was a unity and cooperation between countries never seen before in history. At this point, this was only an emergency military government made to better direct military units across the world in a united army, with a plan to transition into a democracy after they emerged victorious.

Immediately after the founding, many governmental agencies were set up, with the first one being the Federal Armed Forces as they prioritized military unity. More followed, such as the Science and Technology Division, Federal Space Exploration Agency, the Federal Investigation Division, the National Police Force, the Civil Rights Watch, and more. The formation and effectiveness of such groups and the immediate implementation ensured a better-supported population and garnered the trust and support of the general public, save for a few groups.

As they won the war, the Federation slowly transfered into a democracy as countries one by one were cleared of any possible threats. After the victorious Battle of Jakarta, all nations immediately shifted to become a full member of the Federation. They soon recovered and began rebuilding the world, beginning in 2031. A permanent capital was set up in the city of Rome, as the city represented thousands of years of human development, from ancient empires to the modern Federation. However, the war left the Earth relatively hazardous and stimulated the colonization of space. What was known as the Earthborn Diaspora occured: The Moon (known as Luna), Mars, Venus, and several Jovian moons were explored or settled in by 2036, thanks to the reverse-engineering of the husks of Hivemind’s living carriers and the use of artificial intelligence which helped speed up the technology required to control the Sol system. In 2039, an essential breakthrough was discovered: the first faster-than-light drive, the Alcubierre-Okoye Drive was created, derived from Miguel Alcubierre’s warp drive theory and turned into reality from a team of scientists led by Carla Okoye. Though slow, this was a massive revolution in space technology and allowed the exploration of nearby star systems.

In 2040, mysterious structures of unknown origin (non-Hivemind) were discovered on Ganymede. This would later become a discovery of the ancient race of the Primordials, who were in hiding after their devastating war with ancient humanity 85,000 years ago. Federal scientists made first contact with a single Primordial A.I. known as Dormancy.

Later in 2045, the Stellarum Empire would be discovered near the California Nebula. Humanity, still cautious about foreign civilizations, slowly and
