United Nations

The United Nations is a global intergovernmental organisation tasked with promoting global co-operation and aiding to preserve global stability and order. A replacement for the ineffective Council of Nations, the organization was established on 26 June 1945 after World War II in an effort to avoid a repetition such a conflict. At its founding, the UN had 12 member states; it now includes all 52 global states. The headquarters of the United Nations is in Ubako, Yashima, and experiences extraterritoriality. The organization is financed by assessed and voluntary contributions from its member states. Its objectives include maintaining international peace and security, promoting human rights, fostering social and economic development, protecting the environment, and providing humanitarian aid in cases of famine, natural disaster, and armed conflict. Since the end of the Fourth World War, the UN has attained greater political powers and a stronger presence in global politics and military activities, to truly prevent such a global conflict from ever occurring again.

It maintains a limited armed force, the United Nations Peacekeeping Force. In addition to this, the UN is allowed to officially request the handover of military forces by native administrations for the betterment of regional stability.

Following a series of intercepted signals by installations such as the Guizhou Radio Telescope in Zhonghua, the PAN MILSAT installation in Samudra and the Columbia-based SETI institute, the possibility of alien life existing has been increased greatly. The UN has established a special and highly confidential task force, the Extraterrestrial Combat and Investigation Task Force (EXCITAF), which serves to hypothesise, investigate and deal with potential extraterrestrial threats in the future, though the entire organisation is highly guarded. Controversially, the EXCCITAF operates its own armed force, the Strategic Potential Extraterrestrial Assault/Reaction (SPEAR) force, comprising of special operations troops volunteers from multiple nations. As of 2050, this force has not seen any combat, and much of its activities remains confidential.
