Name of nation: United Terran Federation (UTF) Species: Human Description of government: The UTF is a federation made up of multiple member nations. Each one elects their own internal government as well as a representative who represents them in all Federal meetings. Federal law has higher authority than national law, and any laws which the Federal Council deems wrong are repealed. Description of military: The UTF has extensive ground, sea, and air forces. Ground forces (Terran Federation Ground Warfare Forces) mainly use coilguns for infantry and railguns for vehicles. The air forces (Federal In-Atmosphere Force) uses almost nothing but lasers, though many craft are equipped with railguns for precision strikes. The navy (Federal Navy) uses small, maneuverable vessels equipped with laser turrets. Most vessels also have a forward-facing railgun, which can only be used on calm seas due to the effect large waves have on aiming. The space forces (Federal Star Forces) are made up of small patrol ships, usually quipped with only a few lasers and maybe a spinal mount railgun. They use primarily boarding tactics to win battles, as they rarely have to fight anyone but illegal debris dumpers. A "Special Response" air/space squadron exists as well, but little is known about them. Technological Overview: The UTF uses plasma engines in all spacecraft, and has extensive coilgun/railgun and laser technology. No FTL has been invented, but they have colonies on all bodies int he Sol system. Full immersion virtual reality exists and is used both for recreational and training purposes. Cultural Overview: The UTF is made up of dozens of different cultures, but most people share an interest int he exploration of space. History: The UTF was founded in 2021, after a five year WWIII during which a nuclear exchange almost occurred. Humanity quickly began expanding through the solar system, and eventually reached Pluto by 2060 in an amazing display of human ingenuity. Solar power allowed Earth to recover from all of the pollution, and space elevators made travel to other planets cheap and reliable. Throughout the colonial period, millions flocked to the colonies with the hope of starting a new life. However, many opposed the expansion into space, saying that humanity was not ready. Terrorist attacks began on all planets, targeting places like the floating city near Dubai and the Beijing Pyramids. Even the Bering Strait bridge was attacked, resulting in ten billion Federation Credits being spent on repairs. In response, the UTF cracked down hard on the terrorists. A full mobilization occurred, with the intent of eliminating the terrorist groups. All the crackdown did, however, was cause the terrorist organization to grow. The situation seemed hopeless until an enigmatic group approached the Federal Council, offering their services int he war. Tests showed them to excel at all types of combat, and all of them had exceptional g-force and radiation tolerance. The UTF gave these twenty individuals full access to experimental technologies. With this new group, they were able to successfully fight back against the terrorist threat. Interestingly, all twenty had previously applied for the Federal Star Forces and were declined on psychological reasons. There is much speculation surrounding the group, mostly over their name (Wings of Gliese). This has led many to begin conspiracy theories saying that they are, in fact, aliens. The Federal Council denounces all of these theories, but they still thrive as conspiracy theories tend to do. Other: Sorry for the bad app. Accepted! We may now begin!
