What Willy seems to be talking is that I should be speaking of humans from the perspective they still retain the notion of a nation/sovereign state as the modern-era knows it: as in a collective group sharing a language, ideology, and history against their fellow humans, reinforced by local laws the idea of borders, and on and on.
What humanity has done in the past [arbitrary] number of years is evolve past nation. The last generation that knew what a nation was first-hand died during the era of Nous, so there's no one left to idealize the idea of a common heritage of countrymen. What's left now is a common heritage of race. In much the same way pre-nation state identities such as the Avars, Picts, Iroquois, or any other ethnic group would have considered themselves.
What humanity is in this case is a centralized race, and not a centralized nation. They're not really beholden to a territory that they have a bond with through their history (in the same way the Greek identify Greece as their home because the Greeks have always lived and spoken their language there). Humanity in this RP has had that concept long removed, even with their new-wave of Romanticsm that occurred when they came across evidence of alien like; the precursors.
So it wouldn't work to call them anything but a national epithet (Kingdom of X, Republic of X, Commune of X) when the facsimiles that made a nation were removed by Nous. Even if they haven't totally removed from themselves the trappings of a state (central government, centralized army (sorta), administration); but even pre-nationstate identities had some sort of guiding power.
As per the proposal that your aliens would have fought with the humans: no app, no authority on the manner. I will allow it though, but NOT in the Sol system.
