Persistent and widespread chaos of the decade past would result in the [[Callisto Treaty]] of [[2170]], spurring great reform in support of Earth nationalism. Originally little more than a mere function of the Secretariat, the UEG would begin to see radical change, evolving from a ministry to its present state as a federal executive, legislative, and judicial body, eventually subordinating the United Nations itself. All existing supranational organizations, independent nation and city-states, and their respective territorial possessions and claims on Earth and on extraterrestrial bodies; and all independent planetary and satellite colonies throughout Sol would be subject to the UEG by [[2204]].{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}{{Ref/Reuse|mythos}} | Persistent and widespread chaos of the decade past would result in the [[Callisto Treaty]] of [[2170]], spurring great reform in support of Earth nationalism.
