2105-2114
1st al-Shareef Administration
Nadera al-Shareef in Office 2106
Nadera al-Shareef would take the reins of the UTA during perhaps the most crucial period of its existence. The post war devastation of the world had caused massive chaos and led to further issues that would need to be resolved almost immediately. Within North America the torching of the Oil Fields had spread throughout the south and caused a massive wildfire. The war had also led to a massive famine both in North America and the broken and fractured Southern Asia. A massive Civil War broke out in the European Commonwealth that could threaten to spill over into neighbouring countries and even lead to worse. The Oceanic Federation was invading South East Asia which would only sow more chaos and instability.
The Final Foundation of the UTA
With Nadera able to become the first A-G she was able to finalize her vision of the Structure of the UTA. The Organization would be similarly modeled after the United Nations, with various differences.
General Assembly: The General Assembly functions as a global democratic assembly of nations. The Assembly functions much like the Senate to a Republic form of Government. Members within the GA are largely composed of either elected or appointed officials. The GA votes on a wide variety of issues that vary. However the primary goal of the GA is Legislative in nature.
Judicial Council: The Judicial Council is another body, however it is composed of a council of Judges that are also elected or appointed by various nations. The Judicial Council will make landmark international decisions. All proposals will be thoroughly analyzed by the Council of Judges to ensure that they violate no agreed upon rights and morals. In opposition to the UN the Judicial Council of the UTA is binding to all members, and is enshrined in the Charter of the UTA.
Global Co-operative Council: The Global Co-operative Council is a body that oversees the various extra tasks and departments not considered an essential body to the UTA. The Global Co-operative Council currently seeks to foster better ties with nations and better stability. Within the Global Co-operative Council they can form Sub-Councils. The Sub-Councils are meant to be specialized councils focused on specific tasks to better accomplish said tasks.
Administrative-Council: The Administrative Council can largely be thought of as the Executive body within the UTA. The Administrative-General can veto any proposal in the UTA, and has the ability to proposal laws, policies, and declaration. The Administrative-General can also, under an emergency, form an Emergency Security Council Session. The ESCS can only be formed when the General Assembly, and the Global Co-operative council agree that the world is in a Crisis. The Global Co-operative Council or the General Assembly or even the administrative-council can bring up a Crisis to the UTA.
However, the Crisis measures must be approved by all three. If all three votes have passed then the ESCS is formed from three nations most qualified to deal with the issue(s). The A-C carries out the day to day tasks of the UTA as well and largely comprises the organizations bureaucracy. To remove the A-G a process of Impeachment must be carried out to investigate if the current A-G is a threat to Peace & Stability. The General Assembly will vote, and the Judicial Council will move to convict and carry out sentencing.
First Steps
Nadera al-Shareef was swift in her actions in office. The moment she came into office she immediately pushed to form the Emergency Security Council Session under the Crisis pretext of Post-War Stability. The proposal would also pass just as swiftly and soon the first ESCS would form. Nadera would appoint The African Federation of Nations, the Union of Citizens Alliance, and the Republic of China to oversee this extraordinary crisis.
Within the ESCS the AFN would oversee the Global Famine Crisis, the Republic of China would try to help with the massive humanitarian effort in North America and in Europe, and the UCA would conduct intensive peacekeeping operations in Southern Asia and hopefully change the OCF’s invasion. The OCF was outraged that they were not allowed to oversee Peacekeeping Operations within South Asia and dismissed the UTA’s operations in the area.
This had caused multiple skirmishes and multiple scuffles with the UCA and OCF. Ultimately these issues would come to a head when the UCA destroyer “Guadalupe” was sunk and the sailors left in the water. The UCA outraged by this ultimately issued an Ultimatum to the OCF to stand down from all operations in the area or they will see a total retribution from the UCA.Nadera watched these events unfold and pushed the Global Co-operative Council to issue whatever sanctions they could on the OCF and hopefully put pressure on the OCF without leading to another war.
The Longest Week (2106)
The Long Week as it was called, was a demand from the UCA for the OCF to pull out of the peacekeeping area by the end of the week. During the Longest Week Nadera would do whatever she could to avoid another war breaking out so soon from what the Press had popularly spun as “The Final World War”. Nadera met with whatever officials she could in the limited timespan and pushed for whatever concessions she could in the time.
During the Longest Week however, a sudden movement of a Neo-Wahhabist movement would erupt and the movement quickly spilled over into the nearby nations. When the movement spilled over into the UNA, their worst fears of a destabilizing presence cropping up once again in the Middle East had come true. The UNA would join the UTA and quickly mobilize against this growing Wahhabist tide.
The GSU, and the Republic of China had quickly quelled rebellions in their area, and the uprising had ended as quickly as it had begun. This uprising would ultimately turn the opinions of the nations that had to deal with this against the OCF, and after the threats of a massive Coalition to go to war against the OCF if they did not pull out. Ultimately the OCF relented and halted all invasions and began a campaign to pull out of Asia. The International world was angry at the OCF for its behaviour during this crisis, but the OCF would ignore them.
American Wildfires
The Wildfires that came from sabotaging the Texan Oil Fields, and from not being able to stop it due to the war, would spiral into the biggest ecological disaster in North America since the Great Nuclear War. The Billowing smoke and ashes from the wildfires in the area would have a disastrous effect of kicking up highly radioactive soot and ash into the atmosphere once more quickly turning into a mini-Nuclear winter.
To make matters worse the wildfires would ultimately be carried north towards the Occupied territories of the former KNH. This spiraled into a religious crisis within Occupied territories. The new Heaven Religion had now become split on if this was either a Sign that God was angry at them for losing, or a sign that God had abandoned them and a reformation would need to be done to please god. Reformers began assembling in Churches and Communities, while radicals would begin terrorist cells and begin trying to break free.
A massive Chinese humanitarian aid effort in the area would manage to curtail, and begin to push back against the wildfires by the end of 2106. The wildfires would finally end by the year 2107 and soon the ash and soot in the atmosphere would dissipate. After the wildfires were finally ended the Chinese Government was widely applauded for its efforts in helping restore the area to normal.
NANR National Final World War Memorial & Cemetery
NANR Military Dismantling
The NANR would go through a process that would, in practice, abolish the Military within the NANR. The announcement of this was met with a mix of reactions ranging from Skepticism to mockery. However within the NANR itself this move was seen as a justice for the nearly 2 million casualties suffered from the War. This catastrophic loss of life in the war would result in major changes within the NANR, such as the massive surgency of a Neo-Dadaist movement. Rates of depression and suicide skyrocketed in the country. The announcement of the Military Abolishment was almost Unanimous and the initiative began almost immediately. The NANR Military Occupation Zones would be transferred over to the UCA’s control. The NANR would also sell all military Munitions and equipment to various foreign nations. The NANR pledged to have no more military personnel by the end of the decade.
ECW soldiers drops into a LZ
European Commonwealth Civil War
The European Commonwealth would be torn by a civil war. The war broke out when the Marshalls pushing for peace would coup the Marshall Council and force peace. The Factions were largely split in half by the primary issue of Militarism. The Marshalls that called for peace largely believed that military actions could no longer be viable in the world following the Final World War. The Marshalls that were against it believed that the ECW needed to enact revenge for the lost territory and men from the Final World War, and believed that Wars were still essential to the state's survival.
The War would be firmly one sided as much of the international community would back the Faction that supported peaceful actions. By the end of the year 2108 the war would end and a massive plan to rebuild the nation would begin. The newly victorious government would receive massive subsidies and international loans & aid in rebuilding efforts. From this help the ECW would rapidly bounce back from the civil war and would begin making itself more stable, and putting itself firmly on the Geo-Political stage.
NANR Citizens waiting in line for their Food Rations
Global Famine
The Famines would begin around 2103, but the worst of the Famines would kick off post war and would hit its peak during 2106 when nearly 5-10 million people were estimated to die from starvation or malnutrition both on Earth and in the outer-space Colonies. Following the creation of the ESCS the AFN gave massive amounts of food for immediate aid, and would give nations Radiation resistant crops that the AFN had managed to fully master. In North America Radiation resistant Corn would result in an explosion of the once common cornfields across the American Midwest.
The AFN would push for the Global Co-operative Council to create a Food Bank Council. The Food Bank Council would work under a model of “Give What you Can” with the hope that should another Famine occur then a nation could Loan food from the FBC. The AFN by the year 2110 would have exported nearly a million tons of food during the whole famine crisis.
Space League integration into the UTA
The AFN would bring a Proposal to the Space League that would turn it into a Sub-Council under the UTGCC, and would hopefully foster friendly space travel relations. The Proposal was passed by a majority and the plan to integrate the Space League into the UTGCC would finally be complete by the year 2111. The integration of the Space League into the GCC was supported by Nadera al-Shareef herself and believed that it could even help boost space technological growth and colonization.
Greater Slavic Union Hate Crimes
Shortly after the Final World War the citizens of the GSU started a series of Hate crimes towards ECW sympathizers and anyone not deemed “Slavic”. When word reached the administration of the GSU, the GSU applauded the efforts and even encouraged it such as the landmark case of Gennadiyevich. GEnnadiyevich was a soldier in the ECW that fought as a high ranking officer in the ECW. He was lynched by an entire town that all celebrated his death. In the court case the entire town was found not guilty of the crime.
When word broke out The ECW was angry and began making demands and threats to the GSU to end these hate crimes. The GSU in return ignored them citing ECW hate crimes in former ECW occupied territories. The international community largely shunned the GSU however, as the Hate Crimes seemed to grow and grow each passing day.
The End of the 1st ESCS
By the year 2110 much of the worst crises across the world had finally gotten under control. Nadera al-Shareef would announce that the 1st ESCS was a major success and would formally end the 1st ESCS on November 3rd 2110. She believed that this massive success would hopefully be a model for all future A-C’s for generations to come. After this crisis Nadera largely began a period of what was called “Gliding” as she took a much more passive role in politics. She was largely doing this as the stress of the first 5 years of her administration was beginning to affect her with reports of anxiety and depression leaking to the public at large. Combined with a growing suspicion that the UTA and Nadera are growing too powerful too quickly.
Her last 5 years in office would relegate her to become a rubber stamp for the General Assembly. This ultimately quelled the suspicions and would grow trust of the UTA between member nations.
Unity Space Station Complete 2110
The Completion of the Solar Shipyard, Unity Station
2110 would see the completion of the Unity Station. The Unity Station is a permanent space borne station with dedicated Space-borne shipyards. This station is the first one of its kind. The Unity Station is estimated to save potential billions on the construction of Space based Craft. Upon its creation Nadera al-Shareef herself attended the inauguration of the Station. The construction of this station is largely considered to be the greatest engineering feat in Human history.
South East Asia Stabilizes
After years of peacekeeping operations in South East Asia, the area had finally begun to stabilize by late 2111. With the region finally stable a series of votes would determine the future of regions located in the region. Pakistan and Afghanistan would be integrated into the Union of Arabia. India and some of its surrounding territories would form the Free Communes of Asia, a Anarchist collection of Communes. Burma, and other southeast Asian nations would form the Asian Federation.
Portside View of Earth by the 4th Cipactonal Mision
Accidental Discovery of FTL, the FTL Race is on
In 2110 a cargo ship on a routine cargo hauling mission had accidentally slammed into a remote area of Mars. While the impact caused no damage to colonials or colonial efforts on Mars the mission had caused massive intrigue. When the Ships blackbox was recovered it was reported that the Cargo hauler had made a trip from Earth to Mars in less than a day, a feat usually taking more than a week of travel. More investigations into the wreckage and recordings within the ship had conclusively discovered that the Cargo Ship had accidentally stumbled across a mini-worm hole. When knowledge of this reached the Scientific Community a massive surgence into the Science of Faster-Than-Light travel had begun.
Scientists across the world began looking into files and recordings of the ship and began experimenting with test drives of their own. Many of these test drives would fail spectacularly, but with each failure much more tangible strides into FTL drives were being reached. The Achievement of Probe 5235A-34SFV where it was able to travel to a distance of about 300 Miles in 30 minutes had proved to the world at large that Faster Than Light drives were viable.
Corporations began to spring up around this singular hypothetical device. The Kover-Samolet Corporation would make great strides in this area of research managing to create a stabilization drive that would allow for Wormholes to last on average an hour longer than a FTL drive without it. The Hermes Corporation would also make great strides in navigational computational components, and increasing the overall accuracy of these FTL drives. The Corporation able to finally put together much of these achievements into one practical drive was the Mex-spacial Corporation. Their invention of the Quetzalcoatl Drive by the year 2113 was considered the largest success in the field of Science and Engineering since the creation of Jet Planes.
Many tests and probes would finalize and refine the Quetzalcoatl Drive, until finally a Crew of Mexican Scientists would participate in the first ever human trial of the Drive. The 4th Cipactonal Misión was a massive success as the Crew of Mexican Scientists managed to reach Pluto from earth and back in the time span of a Week. This success turned the Crew of the 4th Cipactonal Mision into household names, akin to Neil Armstrong. Abril Valentina was considered the new Neil Armstong of this brave future of space travel, and she would become a local celebrity in her hometown of Las Varas, Nayarit.
With the 1st successful live mission of a FTL drive by the year 2113, Faster than Light Travel was officially viable. The creation of this drive led to a whole new avenue of possibilities as stars that were thought of being unfeasible to even visit were practically on Earth's doorstep.
