Three World Empire

Back to Governments and Corporations

**THE THREE WORLD EMPIRE**

The most technologically prosperous of the interstellar superpowers, the Three World Empire has established the most long-term colonies in the territories. Before its formation in the late 21st Century, the UK and Japan had pioneered space exploration and settlement technologies through the British Weyland Corp and the Japanese Yutani Corporation. These two innovative companies were the first to construct colonies on other planets and moons within the solar system. The three worlds the coalition’s name refers to are Earth, Mars, and Titan—the first three worlds to be inhabited by humanity.

**HISTORY**

The Three World Empire was the first of the conglomerate nations. With the birth of extrasolar colonies, Earth was becoming a smaller place. Realizing a pooling of resources would result in a stronger base from which to colonize the stars, the United Kingdom, Japan, India, and several developing countries joined forces in the 2180s. In addition to the aforementioned countries, member states include Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Kenya, Fiji, and more.

**MILITARY AND ORGANIZATIONS**

Through defense contracts and treaties, the 3WE Frontier colonies are protected by the United States Colonial Marines. However, the Three World Empire does maintain an extensive navy as well as their own limited military force in the form of the Royal Marines Commandos. While well trained and equipped with the latest in cutting edge hardware, the 3WE-RMC simply does not have the regimental strength or the reach of the USCMC. The 3WE bolsters their military with contracted soldiers from—you guessed it—Weyland-Yutani.

**VIHAA REDDY**

PROVISIONAL GOVERNOR OF THE FRONTIER COLONIES OF THE THREE WORLD EMPIRE

Of British-Indian descent, Governor Reddy is a firm believer in progress, and wants to see the new colonies on the Frontier prosper as much as the ones in the Outer Veil did during the previous century. While other government officials leave their families behind on Earth or in the Core Systems, Reddy had hers moved out to live with her on the Frontier. She feels she has done much for the colonists under her purview and is shocked to hear of any grievances against her policies. Additionally, she wishes the UA would disentangle themselves from 3WE affairs and the situation on Linna 349. While she means well, she truly doesn't understand the plight of the average frontier colonist. She lives out on the Frontier with them, but she also lives a life of luxury, protected behind government walls. Prim and proper, she is easily offended and becomes distraught over any aggressive action undertaken by ungrateful colonists.

**LEADERS**

The Three World Empire is a parliamentary social democracy overseen by a constitutional monarchy. Consisting of the former royal families of Britain and Japan now intermarried as one, the Monarchy serves as a figurehead and has little to no real power. The government is headed up by an elected Prime Minister who oversees a Parliament consisting of representatives from each territory and former nation, but none of that will matter much to you out here. On the Frontier, worlds of the 3WE are maintained by a provisional governor, and it’s the policies, taxes, and tariffs set by her office that you will have to contend with.

**LOCATIONS**

In addition to its holdings in Sol System, the Three World Empire controls most extrasolar colonies in the Outer Veil and Core Systems. They have made a limited push into the Outer Rim and in the Frontier. Combined, these areas are called the Anglo-Japanese Arm. Notable worlds include the Corona Colony, Gorham’s Folly, Fiorina 161, and Linna 349.

**RELATIONS**

The Three World Empire is heavily influenced by Weyland-Yutani—in fact, W-Y is the only non-state to actually have a seat in parliament. Rumors abound that several key members of Parliament have even been replaced with W-Y android duplicates, but none have been exposed—yet. The 3WE has maintained a somewhat peaceful relationship with the United Americas, though the UA is wary of the 3WE’s aggressive expansion efforts and monitors their borders at all times. As tensions rise between the UA and Weyland-Yutani, the 3WE has become caught in the crossfire. Some feel it is only a matter of time before an armed conflict breaks out along the Frontier.

**CURRENT ACTIVITIES**

Weyland-Yutani has backed the Three World Empire into a corner in regard to interstellar relations with the United Americas. While they don’t have a fighting force to equal the Colonial Marines, they do have an extensive Navy and are backed up by Weyland-Yutani technological and mercenary might. Rumors abound that W-Y is developing some kind of bioweapon for the 3WE, deployable from planetary orbit and extremely deadly. True or not, the reality is that the 3WE would much rather maintain the status quo than go to war, and worries that if W-Y goes too far, parliament will be forced to curb the company’s activities—an action that will undoubtedly have consequences.
