Fiction:Human Superstate

The Human Superstate, also collectively referred to as Humanity, is a political and economic union of human and near-human states. Created by the Allied Terran Republic in 2802 in an effort to unify humanity in the wake of the Great Xonexian Schism, it can be characterized as a complex system of decentralized rule. The Terran government, operating out of the capital planet of, holds an uncertain amount of power over its dependencies, the governments that surrendered to it during the Schism.

The Superstate's ultimate goal as defined in the 2802 Treaty of Terrae is to "accomplish that which was deemed impossible: to unify the human race." To that end, unificationist politicians and advocates speak of a gradual process of integration by which states will progressively lose their autonomy and eventually be absorbed into the Superstate. The cause of unification, after the downfall of Realists like President Laurene Maxime of France, has gained a great amount of traction with the population of those involved. With the politics and economy of Orion's Spur in shambles, the Superstate promises lasting peace and stability. However, many whisper that these cannot be attained without sacrificing local powers and customs that have been held by sovereign nationstates for centuries. The road to unification is a daunting one.
