According to the glossary in the ''Halo 4 Essential Visual Guide'', the UEG was formed in 2075. This contradicts information from the original Xbox.com Halo timeline (long offline now) which stated in the 2170 entry that ''"A unified Earth government was formed in the wake of these conflicts."'' (it wasn't a proper noun back then), with the idea that the Interplanetary War acted as the catalyst for the creation of the UEG. I guess the question is whether the 2075 date in the visual guide is an intentional retcon or perhaps a typo (should it instead be 2175?). --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 23:31, 8 October 2013 (EDT) | According to the glossary in the ''Halo 4 Essential Visual Guide'', the UEG was formed in 2075.

:Given the timeline, I would say it's probably a typo, and was meant to be 2175 - five years after the Interplanetary War, which seems a reasonable amount of time for the reformation of a solar system's government. -- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font></i></u>]] 02:25, 9 October 2013 (EDT) | :Given the timeline, I would say it's probably a typo, and was meant to be 2175 - five years after the Interplanetary War, which seems a reasonable amount of time for the reformation of a solar system's government. -- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[w:c:halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font></i></u>]] 02:25, 9 October 2013 (EDT) | ||
::I can't do this kind of thing often, as they are very busy people, but I was able to bring this to Jeremy Patenaude's attention at 343 Industries. Since it involved the newly published Visual Guide, I felt the clarification warranted bugging him about it. He gave me permission to copy this from our correspondence on the subject and I hope this will satisfy the query above: | ::I can't do this kind of thing often, as they are very busy people, but I was able to bring this to Jeremy Patenaude's attention at 343 Industries.

:::I love when storytellers do this - reconciling possible typos into interesting story ideas. It shows a degree of flexibility where the lore is concerned.

What do you think the UEG is based off of, anyway? I think it's a cross between the UN and the United States. - EpicZealot1239 | What do you think the UEG is based off of, anyway? I think it's a cross between the UN and the United States. - EpicZealot1239 | ||
:It seems a hybrid of the two. It has a President, but also a Security Council. my own guess is that it's a slightly modified evolution of the current UN model, replacing Secretary General with President, and making it an elected office. -- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font></i></u>]] 21:25, 4 October 2014 | :It seems a hybrid of the two.
