The Unified Earth Governments • An Overview
The Unified Earth Governments is a Democratic Federation which exerts recognized power within the local interstellar fluff, as well as regions within the Attican Traverse. Based within the Sol System, colonies are free to establish their own laws, local currency and culture, within the limitations of the UEG's Constitution. The UEG originates on the planet Earth, located within the Local Fluff of the Orion-Cygnus Arm. The Sol System has a diameter of 79 AU, and contains 8 planets, and 167 natural satellites examples of Planets include The Human homeworld Earth, and its natural satellite being Luna. The UEG contains a population of around 500,000,000,000 with over 35 official colonies, and 10 installations within its stellar domain.
The Unified Earth Governments was founded in 2170 during the vanishing point of the Interplanetary War, this action was a result a dire need to bring unification across space controlled by the United Nations (The UEG's predecessor) and to end the possibilities of future internal conflict; Upon formation, the UN ceased to exist, although their creation, the United Nations Space Command stayed in service due to the political problems that would occur in its end of service for Earth, and the work needed to establish a new service in its place. After the war ended, all colonies of the era were officially brought back into Earths fold, but given greater individual power, and representation on the homeworld. In the year 2248 the Unified Earth Governments made hostile first contact with the race known as the Turians, in what would be known as the First Contact War, it was Humanities first true test a an interstellar species.
The war would end thanks to peaceful contact with the Citadel Council, which intervened before the war could escalate any further and weaken the galaxy. The UEG, representing the Human race, joined the Citadel in 2268, signing the Economic Consolidation Agreement, and after years of pressure, signing the political equality act, which bolstered Humanities influence in the galaxy by centuries. Humanity's different technology base, military capability, and potential is what garnered them this influence. As a member race of the Citadel, the Unified Earth Governments was given a basic overview.
"The Unified Earth Governments is a massive, economically powerful nation, lead by President Donnel Udina with a fair and even hand, and remarkable for its lush home planet, a testament to the ability for a species to change their mistreatment quickly under pressure of environmental collapse. The compassionate and intelligent population of 500 billion Humans appreciate their political freedoms, and the government gives them plenty of room for enjoyment of their society. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various rights, and even the nature of political affairs. Businesses are tightly regulated but the wealthy are not viewed with suspicion.
The Human Government seemingly devotes much of its attention to defense, with areas such as the Environment and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The Government meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alexandria. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the a independent defense sector, although, mining, and technological trade and development are not far behind.
Alien biology study is one of their academia's fastest growing fields, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway to compensate for various different species in a wider galaxy. The tenet of free speech is held dear, the civilizations policy of 'proportionate retribution' has some races on edge. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is practically unknown, at least within regards to serious criminal offenses."
The Unified Earth Governments, when in comparison to other galactic powers, has a given civil rights rating of 89%, an economic rating of 79%, and a defense rating of 85%, making it a strong potential candidate for a Council seat in the future.
Etymology
The name Unified Earth Governments is made of three words, joined into a specific pattern that makes its meaning easy to understand by any culture. The world Unified is traced back to the 16th century, taking its origins from the Latin word Unificare, which means to make whole. Earth is the official name of the Human homeworld, deriving its name from the old English word Eorthe and the German word Erde, Earth can be used to describe the planet, or the general ground and soil of any terrestrial object. Government originates from the French word of Governor, which originates from Gubernare, in its purest form, Government is the representation of the civilization, the people and leaders within a sufficiently large group, which works as a single entity, though not on the scale of a hive mind, or closer nit organism.
