Unigov

Unigov is a super-massive collection of Terran nation-states and interplanetary colonies that form a sprawling empire across several planetoids. They have complete territorial control over Earth, Phobos, Ceres, Jupiter, Europa, Haumea, Hydra, Kerberos, and Dysnomia. Earth serves as their nexus world from which almost all operations are carried out, Jupiter serves as a large fuel source for Unigov ships, and Europa serves as a gigantic water reservoir. At its peak in 2195, it comprised of ~28,844,282,747 members. As of 2390, Unigov is now comprised of ~22,707,383,720 members.

Unigov's origins began after the end of World War 3 in 2033. Claire St. Martin, a Canadian general, is generally accepted as having founded Unigov almost immediately after the closing of the war. Unigov's goals were globalistic in nature, seeking to physically unite all nations. Although there was a great deal of resistance, eventually the benefits outweighed the negatives, and the majority of world nations were part of Unigov by 2050. Nations that attempted to leave were blocked from trade and "starved out" until they decided to rejoin. After Unigov claimed the entirety of Earth, and started to expand to Luna and Mars, there were no remaining nations to trade with. Numerous economic recessions occurred in the Unigov superstate, which affected everyone universally, as there were no people outside of Unigov's domain at the time.

Unigov, since its inception, has been subject to criticism by many; being described as "totalitarian". Controversy surrounding Unigov's claims to newly placed colonies on Luna and Mars eventually boiled over when Jerry Montpelier decided to lead an armed resistance against Unigov on Luna. Montpelier's movement successfully booted all Unigov forces from Luna, and resulted in The Interplanetary Act being accepted across the whole of humanity. The Lunar Revolution had the unintended side effect of establishing the groundwork for The New Supremacy Insurrection, which was, in many ways; a continuation of The Lunar Revolution. Despite the founding of The New Supremacy Insurrection, colonists were content with the passing of The Interplanetary Act, and didn't wish to continue active warfare against Unigov.

The New Supremacy Insurrection has entered a sort of "colonial arms race" with Unigov to capture as much territory in The Solar System as possible. Unigov's current leader, Irena McKay, is in declining health, and is seeking to appoint a new, more fit leader to combat The New Supremacy Insurrection's efforts.

Regional territories on Unigov worlds are called Provinces while territories on non-Unigov worlds are called Occupancies.
