Since not much goin on here I am going to post some new additions to the lore, this time explaining the governmental portion of the UNS :P there is a saying that you need to understand your enemy in order to maneuver and defeat them, so if you are interested, read below. May be a bit flawed

Confederation status

After devastation ww3 (2037-2043), a treaty was made to give the UN more power over the states and technically unite the Earth under global unity and to help mass-rebuild. The UN wouldn't officially refer to itself as the UNS until it's switch to federal status in 2050.

Between 2043 to 2050, the UN is technically considered a Confederation where each state is represented and it's multiple representatives is elected through the voting system of STV (The Single Transferable Vote, or STV, is a form of proportional representation voting system which uses preferential voting, usually in multi-member constituencies. Candidates don’t need a majority of votes to be elected; all they require is a known ‘quota’, or share of the votes, determined by dividing the number of valid votes cast by the number of positions to be filled, plus one.) the number of representatives from each state would vary based on the population, to form the house of representatives. While the senate is elected through the electorates to represent each state (similar to the US presidential election). The representatives form the council of the UN and is basically the Legislative branch of the UN. While the Secretary-General (a position that would abolited in 2050 to make war for "President Overseer", will be explained below)  is elected through the vote of the council of the UN and that the Secretary-General must held at least two positions of power in the UN in the past and must be at least 40 years old, among other things.

Despite this system, it does not address the looseness of the Confederation and that it's numerous amount of representatives (Theres literally well over 7 Billion surviving people to represent, which accounts for over 7000 councilmen) and it's slowness and lack of bills passing through the Council. This system is altered slightly for the national gov. to have more power over the states.

Federation Status

From Federation status, the UNS has increased power in the government over to the states and increases power of the Executive Branch of the government, such as the President Overseer has a FIRST and LAST say. Basically bills arrive to the President Overseer first, and that he will have to consult his cabinet (the rest of the Executive Branch) before making a decision, if he vetoes it, it goes through the legislative branch and if it makes it back to the President Overseer (if it can), he will decide whether to veto or sign it.

The President Overseer is the continuation to Secretary Genral position and term dates has been adjusted to 5 years starting from and ending on January 20th. The position has the person wielding a double-edged sword. The President is usually referred to the president in peacetime but protocals will state that he will be referred to as Overseer during events that absolutely threatens national security. Then they will activate a stage system (see NPC turns for turn 1 and 2) to combat it. This is to ensure the mindset during crisis, both literally and figuratively, that the President Overseer has the true power to enact his own laws, and that he can declare himself temporal dictator (which will be referred to as Overseer) during situations. This would also ensure the country will be directed fast and swiftly to address situations and direct resources into solving the problem immediately. Records of this power being used has been recorded only 3 times in history (Under 4 President-Overseers) during the Second American Revolution (2076-2083), the Meteor of 2113 (2113-2116), and the Martian Independence + Global Unrest of 2280s (2070- Present).

It's first use in the American Revolution of 2076 was the resulted from resentment towards the "international" government from Abolishment of the Second Amendment in the region of the US. The problem stems from states from other continents gets to have a say in affairs in other continents. When most of Europe, Asia, and Antartica continents argued and voted for the removal of the second amendment that is active in North American states, North Americans were furious and rebelled against the UNS, arguing that states should not be in the business of other states. The failure of the second American revolution in 2081 resulted in the complete abolition of states and replacement with drawn out sectors (gg North America). The Overseer status lasted for 2 more years until it's normalcy in 2083.

The first and most effective use of the Overseer status is used in 2113 to 2116 when a Meteor was sent on a collision course with Earth in 2113 and would be expected to hit in 2116. The President Overseer declared himself Overseer and directed global resources and research against this threat. By 2116, the UNS created it's first planetary destructive weapon, capable of killing off all life on the planet in 2-3 shots, no matter deep underground they are, and full explosion if as size of the moon within 20 shots. They directed this towards the meteor as it is within a month of range on Earth and fired it. Resulting in the explosion of the Meteor and most of it's pieces landed on Mars and the Moon. This has saved the human race.

The Third and most recent declared Overseer status was dated from the Martian Independence war to be able to direct Earth's and Venus' resources against the traitorous planet, this resulted in successful victories throughout Mars and defeat of Martian rebel forces. The Current Overseer plans to have this status linger about until the end of her term until her assassination. This resulted in the continuation of Overseer status for the next President Overseer, which plans to end it at the end of his term as well, But then the Unrest of 2280s happened.

President Overseers can have up to 3 terms, with 5 years each (Max. 15 Years)
