In the wake of sweeping social and economic downturn, the Global Republic rose from the ashes of the now defunct United Nations. Initially composed of only the American Union and the European Alliance, the Global Republic led to innovations such as the Universal Credit system, Republic IDs, and the World-Wide Wireless Network. Due to the events of the Seven Hour War, many smaller nations feel the restrictive laws of the Global Republic will restrict their ability to protect themselves from outside threats.
Organization
The Global Republic, currently comprised of five foreign bodies, each providing five Delegates as well as a President. All Republic matters are voted upon publicly, and each delegate has one vote, however the President of each body’s vote counts as five votes. While many delegates vote in line with their respective leaders, it is not unheard of to have split votes among each body. Generally speaking, all legislature affecting only a single country’s internal workings does not require the Republic’s vote, however any body may object and call a vote to order.
Demilitarization
In late 2023, the Global Republic passes legislature that forces the dismantling of each body’s military by roughly 80%. Many Private Contracting Corporations swallow a large chunk the now-jobless soldiers, leading to massive Private Militarization. Many see this as the pivotal point in the cause of the Seven Hour War.
Security
Following the rise of PMCs, the Global Republic forms it’s own Militia, lending aid to any of the member’s countries in need. Currently the Republic Militia is primarily stationed in the American Alliance as local security. The effectiveness of the Militia has yet to be seen on a large scale, however it serves as a deterrent against most conflicts.
