United Nations of Terra

The United Nations of Terra (commonly abbreviated to UNT or Uninat) is a suborganization of the Union of Nation States. Its member states are situated on the planet of Terra (Earth). The United Nations of Terra is involved with international cooperation on Terra. It is a direct successor of the United Nations.

When the Union of Nation States was founded, it was decided that a couple of tasks and duties were to be outsourced to suborganizations, analoguous to the original United Nations. The UNT evolved out of the original United Nations. All other suborganizations of the Union of Nation States, such as the United Nations of Harvia, were modelled after the UNT.

The United Nations of Terra concerns itself with cultural, developmental, administrative, educational and societal issues, such as large construction projects, international cooperation, various developmental programmes. It also serves as the representative of all Terran nations within the Union of Nation States. It isn't involved with military duties anymore, nor does it deal with interplanetary transport and communication.

The UNT is accused of being an empty shell that only adds another administrative layer to the already extensive governmental structure of the Union of Nation States. Proponents of the UNT point out that the organization is invaluable when it comes to education, international understanding and issues only concerning Terra.

Ubisa, Cochuka, Opole, Kadaitska and Usada are all observing members of the UNT. They serve as a link between the UNT and other suborganizations, and participate in discussions regarding Terran matters, in order to contribute non-Terran viewpoints on Terran issues.
