United Nations of Earth

The **United Nations of Earth (UNE)**, also called simply the **United Nations**, is the central civilian government that administrates over the planet Earth and its colonies throughout a portion of the Orion Arm of the Milky Way galaxy.

Its capital is located on Earth, populated by the Human species. The UNE is a Congressional Republic with a President as its leader. Its current President is Evalyn-Celine de’Bonaparte.

## History

### Early history

The United Nations, an international organization dedicated to world politics, was founded some time after the end of World War III.

In 2102, the United Nations officially reformed and became the Unified the Nations of Earth due to discovery and gifting of Sub-FTL technology by the Japanese government. The Unified Earth Government, then as the global think tank, was tasked with solving the challenges of interplanetary expansion and governmental unification. Eventually by 2220, human colonization of the Solar System was fully underway, as well as the first steps of exploring new systems.

### Early Interplanetary era

In the early years of humanity's interplanetary colonization, it was mainly commercial interests that propelled outward expansion into the Sol System, such as mining outposts, asteroid bases and various other installations within the sol system.

### Yesnon Admission to the UNE

In 2268, following a brief conflict with the planetary authority of Zemja, rebels overthrew the ruling government and surrendered to the UNE Military, formally requesting membership. Parliament agreed.

## Solomon III Torres

Solomon III Torres was President from 2200 to 2221.

### Colonization of Terra Nova

On June 22nd, 2211 President Torres was the first Human Leader to preside over the colonization of a world for the Human Race. Terra Nova is the 1st colony of the United Nations of Earth, and is perhaps the greatest achievement of the Torres Presidency.

### Crystalline Cataclysm

The Crystalline Cataclysm was a devastating attack on the human colony of Terra Nova at the hands of a strange crystalline vessel. Hundreds of thousands of civilians were killed in the attack, it was a major cause for the decline of the Torres Administration. Solomon suffered a mental breakdown following the attack, and his popularity declined significantly. It ultimately was a major reason for the president losing the election of 2221.

## Yusuf Bilal

Yusuf Bilal was president from 2221 to 2225.

### Removal from Power

On September 4th, 2225 President Yusuf Bilal and Governor Barbara Campbell were arrested by the military following a major investigation lead by Kiet Pisit-na, Yusuf's Minister of Defense. The investigation was into the corruption of President Bilal and his Minister of State, Barbara Campbell.

## Kiet Pisit-Na (Acting President)

Kiet Pisit-na took over as acting president from 2225 to 2226. He and his government were caretakers of the government, keeping it running until elections concluded. Most of his actions were the investigations of the government and a clean up of the corruption from the previous government. His Government handled the trials of both President Yusuf Bilal and Governor Barbara Campbell. Following his brief tenure as Acting President, he returned to his previous post as Minister of Defense.

## Athena Montelupo

Athena Montelupo is the current President, elected in the emergency elections of 2226 after the arrest and removal from office of Yusuf Bilal in 2225. She is best known for her time in command of the NMS Archimedes, one of the legendary science vessels in the early galactic age of the U.N.E, which she commanded from it's commission until her election to President in 2226. Her contact with the primitive species, the Hothezians is considered one of her greatest acts as Head Ambassador.

### Colonization of New Vegas

Under her presidency, the second colony of the United Nations of Earth was colonized, New Vegas in 2234.

### The Dépriátiar

An Aquatic species was found on a doomed, rogue planet. After making contact, half a million of their people were transported to Earth on September 15th, 2238, becoming the 2nd sentient species to hold citizenship within the United Nations of Earth.

### Intervention on KE-751 IV

Following a failed revolution against the dominant faction on the pre-space age world, they genocided their people to keep the revolution down. Under guidance from the science council and the military, Athena Montelupo authorized the support of anti-government factions aboard the planet. This was considered a mistake in hindsight, due to the rise of a Fanatic Authoritarian government replacing the former elites of the Yesnon people.

### First Contact with the Hierarchy of Twazdar

In the second term of President Athena Montelupo's administration, the U.N.E had first contact with another formidable entity—the Hierarchy of Twazdar, a military dictatorship. The public became aware of the potential for this historic encounter on June 27th, 2237, when President Montelupo disclosed the details in a press conference. Alarmed by concerns about the unsettling nature of the other species, the ESO urged immediate preparation for war. Despite these calls, the government opted to dismiss the warnings. Carlos Quesada eventually initiated the first contact with the Hierarchy of Twazdar on February 7th.

### First Contact with the State of Gavaz'Xull

President Montelupo oversaw First Contact with the State of Gavaz'Xull. On April 1st, 2242 she held a press conference announcing the known details and her hope that they are not as militarist as the Hierarchy. On November 14th, 2243 First contact was made, where it was revealed they were a democracy, a pacifist Fanatic Egalitarian state, and not a dictatorship. The ambassador, Carlos Quesada, who made contact was recorded breaking down in tears with hope.

The Jas'Gavaz was celebrated for days, upon which a gift of minerals were sent, alongside a treaty for communications. Over the month, various diplomatic pacts were made: Non-Aggresion Pacts and Guarantees of Independence were signed by the UNE, desperate for allies against their hostile neighbor to the north.

### First Contact with the Arcitrex High Sovereignty

On May 21st, 2247 First Contact was had with both the Arcitrex High Sovereignty and Those Who Remember the Dark.

### First Contact with Those Who Remember the Dark

On May 21st, 2247 First Contact was had with both the Arcitrex High Sovereignty and Those Who Remember the Dark.

### First Contact with the Realm of Marl-Shul

First contact was had on January 4thm 2248. Fear.

## Political Parties within the UNE

Humanity United Coalition(HUC) Egalitarian. The HUC is the dominant democratic force within the United Nations of Earth. Advocating for equality and collaboration among all species, their platform emphasizes inclusive policies and diplomatic engagement. Notably, Athena Montelupo, the current President, is a key figure within this party. The Coalition is further divided into differing organizations that have differing views on how the government should be run, how the budget should be done, the military and other such things, but stand united against Authoritarianism.

Earth Sentinel Order(ESO) Militarist, Authoritarian. The ESO was born from the shadows of the Crystalline Cataclysm, emerging as a party advocating for a robust and authoritarian approach to security. Although not particularly large, the ESO gained popularity in the wake of the catastrophic event that shook Terra Nova in 2218. Focused on military strength and centralized authority, the ESO aims to ensure the protection of Earth and its colonies from any future existential threats.

Imperial Unity Faction: Formed in 2268 after the Yesnon Authority surrendered to the UNE, becoming the primary party for the Yesnow people, who are fanatical Authoritarian and Militarist. They and the ESO routinely work together.

Yesnon Galactic Hegemony National Bloc: Yesnoni demanding independence from the UNE, formed in 2268.
