United Nations

The United Nations (commonly abbreviated as UN) was an intergovernmental organisation that existed on Earth near the mid-20th century until the early 22nd century. It was founded in 1945, after World War II. It was a replacement for the League of Nations, which proved itself ineffective in preventing another global war. Its primary tasks were to prevent such a conflict from occurring yet again, create and maintain international order and promote international cooperation. Its 'capital', rather its headquaters was in New York City, in the former United States of America.

In 1973, the UN was reconsolidated to play a more central role in representing international affairs. It also carried out research projects that eventually resulted in the creation of the Light Core in 1980.

In 2000, when humanity initiated first contact with the Damascrians, the United Nations was reconsolidated again, this time to serve as humanity's representative political body in the galactic community, and to expand and defend human territory. By 2020, the UN became a semi-federation of sorts, with its member nations almost completely dedicated to bettering humanity, but also having retained their individual sovereignty.

In 2110, the UN was dissolved, re-established as the United Republic.
