The United Earth was the governing supreme entity on Earth from the 22nd century onward.
Formation[]
Early Attempts[]
Though attempts at uniting the governing entities of Earth existed as far back as 1945 with the United Nations, these eventually fell through with World War III.
Another early attempt was the European Union whom also created the African Union and planned the North American, Asian and Oceanian Unions. These unions would eventually morph into one country each and join together in a global federation. However it failed when the EU became corrupt and the United Kingdom left, after the economic crisis that happened because of this, the Euro collapsed and each former member state was devastated. The United States and United Kingdom tried to help these countries rebuild but where interrupted by the breakout of World War III.
Unification[]
After First Contact in 2063, Zefram Cochrane called for the nations of the world to put aside their "differences" and unite for the common good. The Eastern Coalition was one of few groups that refused help, inciting the anger of the other groups that began unifying.
A secret society known only as the Brotherhood came before the Cochrane Movement, offering to help them unite Earth if they would comply to their ideas. The Movement wasn't convinced until, in 2079, the Eastern Coalition collapsed. The Brotherhood then took key places within the Movement and influenced all of its actions, including several pogroms against "undesirables", mostly religious groups such as Christianity, Judaism and Islam.
By 2113, the Cochrane Movement was formally dissolved, since the United Earth Government had officially "eliminated war, poverty, disease and the causes thereof". However, various conflicts among religious groups continued until the Christmas Day Massacre. Five years later, the nominal "empowerment" of the United Earth Government in 2113 became truth.
Government[]
The governing body of the United Earth was a federal republic much like the United Federation of Planets of which it was a founding and key member.
The former nations of Earth became sub-national entities each with their own governments and heads of state and government, these included the China, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, United Kingdom and United States
