National governments, nations, or countries are a form of human government often controlling land on a planet or natural satellite.[1][2]
Human nations often built monuments to those they perceived as heroes, usually in the defense of or the conquest of other nations.[3]
History
Formation of the UEG
- Main article: Unified Earth Government
The national governments of Earth engaged in several colonial proxy-wars, one of which was the Interplanetary War in the 2100s.[4] In 2163, multiple national naval and spaceborne expeditionary units were merged together to form the UNSC Marine Corps.[5] Ultimately, the individual national governments on Earth were subsumed by a centralized Earth government known as the Unified Earth Government (UEG), which controlled the United Nations Space Command (UNSC).[4]
26th-century
By the 26th century, nations still exist and officially control territories on Earth.[6] The endonyms of several countries, including Hanguk and Deutschland, have been adopted into official usage alongside their exonyms.[7] As well, the UEG recruited ODSTs from every nation in the UEG.[8] At this time, the United Nations (UN) acted as an adjudicator of administrative tasks between nations.[9] People originating from nation states at this point in time are also given national identity certification papers, something that at least Quito Space Tether security personnel are allowed to check.[10]
