United Nations

The United Nations was an international organization formed in 85 A.E (1945 A.D) following the 2nd World War in which many millions of people lost their lives. The UN was created to stop any such wars from starting again. It was based in New York in the old United States of America (later Pan-American States). Almost all the nations of the world were members of the UN before the great recession period of the mid 21st Century A.D where the myriad of nations joined together in larger federations and alliances. They were still individually represented in the General Assembly. The UN had a moderate number of troops and military material under its jurisdiction explicitly for the purpose of stopping armed conflict and helping regions struggling with internal strife. The UN gained control over more and more territory as time passed on, most notably the former western USA, parts of Central Africa and the Middle East. This was to prevent further war like the African War (also called the 3rd World War and the War To End All Wars) where all the major world alliances (apart from the Pan-American States) fought each other over resources and general dominance. The war ended with victory for the EU and the UN which divided the African continent between them. In 350 A.E (2210 A.D) the UN passed the "Unification Act" with support from the majority of the world's population which gave the UN complete control over all countries and federations of Earth, making it the de facto government of Earth. It was renamed the United Earth Federation, and later renamed again to the United Earth Empire following the start of the Exodus Era and large scale colonization.
