Fiction:United Federation of Nations

The United Federation of Nations was a country created solely for the purpose of unification and prosperity for all. The UFN was created from a union of Humans, Mon Yadumars, and others. The Union is led by President George S. Johnston.

History
The Beginning of the UFN

In 2066, tensions between the US and Russia over the Middle East after the extermination of the United Terrorist Organizations were high. The United States of America had surprisingly wanted the Middle East to be united under one government of choice, with a standing military. The Russians, after the Grand Oil Crisis, wanted nothing more than conquest of it's old Warsaw Pact nations, and needed oil from Iraqi reserves. On the Second of March, 2066, Russia declared war against NATO. Immediately, China joined in and the Third World War began. At the end of it, Europe and China were in ruins, the city of Anchorage, Alaska, was nothing more than rubble, and there were still people fleeing from South America into the United Provinces of Central America. The United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Japan, the Unified Republic of Korea, and the United Provinces of Central America agreed on uniting into the formal United Nations. Shortly after, in the year 2070, the first ship was created by the United Nations, a thought since a game came out in the early 2000's. The Washington class battleship had proven to be a work of art. Swiftly, the United Nations colonized the rest of the Solar System, and then to Epsilon Eridani, and after, Alpha Centauri. The rest of the nations agreed on uniting with the United Nations into one full planetary compact. Thus, the United Compact of Nations was formed, in the Year of Our Lord 2082. It's capital was situated in New York, New York, United States of America in the old United Nations Building. The UFN hadn't started out the way it is in 2277. In 2100, the UFN stumbled upon a massive planet with a distinct ring on it. It was filled with water. Formally named Mon Yadumar, the Mon Yadumari people were kind to the Humans. When offered to join in the UFN, they gladly joined and offered full support. Soon, the skies of Mon Yadumar were filled with shipyards that constructed many vessels that would supply the Commonwealth of Terentium and UFN alike. The Commonwealth was founded straight after in the system of Sagittarius, and the two automatically became great friends (like the United States and Great Britain on Earth during and after the Second World War). Eventually, many planets and species joined the UFN, including the Akrivorians, Sangheilus, and more.

Expansion of the UFN

Government
The United Federation of Nations' governmental structure is a mixed bag that played with elements of a centralized and decentralized democracy. The UFN Republican government is situated in New York City, USA, Earth. However, the overarching Congress that is situated in the bicameral structure included two houses- the House of Representatives were there were reps from Earth (one from the big five) and reps from each planet in the UFN. The Senate forms the other half of the bicameral structure, where there are two members from every planet. The government's judicial branch is headquartered in both NYC and on the planet Proximus, in Alpha Centauri. The judicial branch housed the Supreme Court, with branches of the courts system found in every city in the Federation. Finally, the Executive branch of the Federation's government was home to the President, Vice President, and the President pro tempore. There are plenty of departments within the Federation's government. The Departments of Defense, Treasury, Homeland Security, Food & Agriculture, etc are all departments situated with the management of the Federation's domestic issues. The Department of Foreign Affairs, Department of the Federation Military, along with the Department of Interstellar/Intergalactic Trade all handle foreign policy and foreign issues. The executive branch has the ability to enact executive orders, in which the UFN must follow for thirty standard days until Congress votes on keeping the order as law. One example of which was President Juarez I's Executive Order to conscript forces to fight the Krinkut Empire. With this order displayed the President's power in the EO's, in which she ordered the evacuation of outer-UFN colonies and the mass production of the "Arsenal of Democracy" (hundreds of thousands of weapons, from war mechs to ships).
