United Earth Government:


The United Earth Government was founded in
2046 after the final negotiations were
completed. The Great Senate was appointed
to lead the newly founded UEG in a system
of government similar to the United States
(save the Executive Branch). When the Great
Senate moved to accompany the entire solar
system, government control over the planet
Earth was returned to the individual states
of the Planet. Among the states of Earth
are America, Great Britian, Russia, and many
others. Each state now recieves at least
one, at most 5, representatives to the
Great Senate.

Since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution
of the 18th Century, the planet Earth has
become a waste dump for pollution of all
kinds. After it was realized that the
Earth's problems would never be resolved,
the engineers of Earth built their buildings
taller and taller. Soon massive buildings
covered almost all of the Earth's surface,
even what were once vast oceans. A thick
smog layer began to form, which is at
present almost a mile deep. A few unlucky
people remain below in the smog, but most
of humankind has reached for the sky, and
found safety among the huge skyscrapers
that cover the planet. The Great Senate
is among those skyscrapers, located in
Chicago, America.

In recent years, Earth has been in one
major conflict, and that was the war with
the Lunar Colonies in 2306. It began over
a trading dispute which escellated to an
all-out war. The Grand Senate, mostly
populated with members of the planet Earth,
quickly sided with the homeworld. After
only a few months of fighting, the Army of
the Great Senate put out the battle,
subduing the Moon back into order.

Though the homeworld is not as beautiful as
it once was, it is still home to nearly 15
billion happy humans. With any luck, it
will flourish for many centuries to come.
