New United Nations Earth

The Earth Federation

The Earth Federation is an organization which has a lot of power over the average civilian's day-to-day life and almost no power as a geopolitical organization. Established 100 years ago, it serves as a mutual defense agreement, lawmaking body regarding civilian laws, and theoretical treaty enforcement organization.

In practice, the idea of the "Earth Federation" as a unified front that leverages military force has become a paper tiger; there are a wide range of special interests and national blocs that actually wield power mostly unilaterally. These groups can even go to war with one another without facing expulsion -- and have in the past. The Assembly has taken a dim view of most petitions for humanitarian aid in Earthnoid-on-Earthnoid conflicts, making it an alliance in name only.

Federation Leadership

Federation leadership consists of an elected Assembly of representatives from each participating member nation and a Central Council of appointed representatives from each power bloc. As of 0080, the nation which wins the Gundam Fight appoints the Ruler of All Known Space to the Central Council; the Ruler of All Known Space serves as a tiebreaker on Central Council votes and appoints many administrative and judicial positions.

Central Council

• Ruler of All Known Space - Shin Karato (OCU; AEUG)
• Councilor in Charge of Settlement Issues - Ronan Marcenas (AEU; UESA)
• Councilor in Charge of Peacekeeping Forces - Duke Dermail Catalonia (AEU; NIA)
• Councilor in Charge of Trade and Negotiation - Alejandro Corner (BU; AEUG)
• Councilor in Charge of Industrial and Energy Strategy - Joseph Copeland (BU; NIA)

The Federation Assembly

Key Positions

• Olbani (BU; UESA; Secretary General)
• Muruta Azrael (BU; NIA; Majority Leader)

Major Political Parties

• National Industrial Alliance (NIA) - A hard-right political party. Against autonomy for space colonies, wants to increase the proportional value of Gundam Fight victories, viciously anti-Coordinator. Mostly a front for Blue Cosmos, but is the strongest political party in the current governing coalition.
• United Earth Sphere Alliance (UESA) - A center-right political party drawing its lineage back to before the formation of the Federation. Its primary platform planks focus on the entry or return of non-Federation nations to the Federation. Part of the current governing coalition.
• Partiya Zaftra (PZ) - A centrist political party most popular within the Republic of East Asia but also represented in the eastern AEU, most popular in former Soviet states. Favors investment in natural resources and overtly espouses pacifism and reconciliation. Part of the current governing coalition.
• Anti Earth-Union Group (AEUG) - A center-left political party. Advocates for comparatively high levels of spacenoid autonomy but substantially funded by Anaheim Electronics, and has lost a significant chunk of its more radical members since 0088.
• Space Revolutionary Party - Maintains one seat in the Federation General Assembly out of Zeon's four. Caucuses with the AEUG but mostly just advocates for the end of the Federation system.
