The Political Powers of The Time [World Concepts]

By 2127 with The Depletion of Earth's Fossil Fuels, Humanity turned to The Last Abundant Source of Energy... Solar Power. A plan was developed to build a Solar Power Generation System based around Three Orbital Elevators, Each over 100,000 Kilometers (62,000 Miles) High. After almost half a Century (47 Years), The system was completed. These huge Mega-Structures provide an almost Inexhaustible Energy Supply, and to facilitate their construction, The Nations of The World gathered around three Eco-Politicogeographical Blocs.

The Union of Solar Energy and Free Nations or simply The Union, Grouped around The United States. The Human Reform League with China, Russia, and India as it's Core States. And Finally, The Third is The Advanced European Union commonly referred as The A.E.U.

Together These Three Powers Make Up The Earth Sphere Government.

Given their tremendous size, Defending The Orbital Elevators is a difficult undertaking. Even from a construction point of view, They are extremely fragile structures and despite the precariousness of the situation, To further their own Prestige and Prosperity, These groups of Nations insist on playing a Grand Zero-Sum Game. Even in the 22nd-century Humanity is still having difficulty coming together as a unified front for the benefit of all.
