United Nations

An organization located on Earth, the United Nations strives for peace, harmony, and prosperity, for all countries. It counts every state bar one among its members, the sole exception being a religious city remaining independent. Its authority is limited to the Sol Planetary System, as the long time needed to reach other systems makes it impossible to exert any form of authority.
The United Nations developed the Starseed Program, aiming for humanity to pioneer other planetary systems. The UN Economic and Social Council, tasked with helping states cooperate economically and socially, spearheaded this development. This shared initiative originated from several large countries all doing their own research, resulting in a wasteful level of redundancy. Rather than remain rivals, all agreed to unify their efforts under the banner of the UN.
Planet Ymir was pioneered as part of the Starseed Program, and its flag represents this by replacing the UN flag's diagram of Earth with a diagram of the Gliese 581 Planetary System. More importantly, the structure of the Starseed Program still shows throughout all of Ymir's society, ranging from Universal Basic Income to the independence of the Science Department.

Starseed Goal

The Starseed Program's intent is to help humanity spread throughout the universe, both to advance its understanding and technology, and for humanity to be able to survive even if disaster strikes Earth and ends up exterminating most of humanity.
To help guarantee that, any existing conflicts had to be erased from the Starseed societies, whether religious, racist, or xenophobic. As part of that, the Starseed development and passenger selection were done by strictly supervised neutral parties.

Society Design

While each Starseed had varied rules, they were built on the same keystones:

• Initial military rule by Martial Law, with strict but fair enforcement
• A handover over time of all authority to a civil government
• Independent scientists guarded by Superserum-powered troops
• A form of Universal Basic Income, combined with societal duties
• Excellent healthcare at minimal cost, organised by scientists
• Ecological friendliness & maximised environmental sustainability
