Terrestrial Human Union

The Terrestrial Human Union, formerly the United Nations, was a geopolitical organisation founded in 1945 on Earth after World War II, in hopes of preventing future wars between member states. It also deployed peacekeeping missions in areas with conflict.

The THU was based in New York City, USA.

Members
The UN was founded as a forum for human governments, though this rule has been bent several times. The Altholz teryo pack successfully petitioned for entry in 2024, after the pack system became public knowledge due to the Las Vegas Incidents. Many other teryo packs saw this as a betrayal, with one pack leader, Georgios Lycaonos stating that "The Altholz are no longer teryo".

UN Resolution 6155 was passed on September 29th, 2044. This resolution allowed private corporations to purchase seats at the UN. It was an incredibly controversial motion amongst the general public, though it passed unanimously in the General Assembly.

On January 1, 2100, the UN was renamed to the Terrestrial Human Union. It also adopted a new flag.

Peacekeeping and Military
Historically the UN peacekeepers acted as mediators and guards in areas of ethnic conflict, such as Darfur and Yugoslavia. After contact with aliens, the UN also acted as after the signing of the Treaty of Managua in 2175, the UN became the de jure army for Earth. The treaty stated that all national militaries had to coalesce into the Terrestrial Peacekeeping Force, but corporations were exempt from this, and a monopsony was established, with several PMCs competing for contracts with the one buyer, TPF.

Dissolution
The United Nations was officially dissolved after the signing of the Treaty of Xiamen in 2200, which went into effect the following year. It was replaced by the Viechtyren Protectorate Council, which was effectively a puppet state for Viechtyr.
