Terrestrial Federation of Earth

The Terrestrial Federation of Earth, commonly abbreviated as TFE , is the planet-wide government ruling Earth. The TFE is a representative democracy, with citizens voting on the president. Its founding document is the Constitution of Earth. The current President of the Terrestrial Federation of Earth is Duncan Smith.

Origins
The Terrestrial Federation can be first traced back to the pre-Galactic days. Following the conclusion of World War 2, the deadliest conflict on Earth, the victorious nations created a peace-keeping international organization known as the United Continental Group (UCG).

Galactic Takeover
After the Galactic Takeover of Earth, the UCG was absorbed into the newly-formed TFE. The Terrestrial Federation was a true planetary government, and had full control over Earth, unlike its predecessor. The TFE must still abide by the decisions of their galactic overlords, however.

Government and politics
The Terrestrial Federation of Earth functions as a federal representative democracy, headed by a president. It maintains an executive, judicial, and legislative branch. Other government branches such as the Terrestrial Armed Forces serve to keep Earth's borders protected from foreign menaces.

Foreign relations
Prior to the Galactic Takeover of Earth, no foreign relations were held with other species as no signs of life outside of Earth had been discovered. After the invasion the TFE serves below the Mogwa of the Galactic Empire.

As of 2027, the TFE holds cordial relations with the United Republic of Swaump, as Terran legions Fortis and Ventus helped save the Krokadoreans from their tyrannical leaders.

Economy
The TFE uses the Terran Credit (TC) as its prime monetary standard. This was implemented after Galactic contact. Galactic Law dictates that the TC cannot be used outside of Earth's borders, and requires a conversion to the Galactic Credit. One Galactic Credit is equivalent to approximately 1,000 Terran Credits.

Military
The Terrestrial Armed Forces is the TFE's primary military and defense branch. It operates to protect Earth's citizens and interests. Currently it operates very few spaceships and houses ground troops across Earth. It co-operates frequently with Terran legions such as Fortis, who perform tasks as a mercenary force, while also having the chance to be called for duty by the TFE government.

Colonies
The Terrestrial Federation maintains loose control of the entire Solar system and surrounding space. Mars and the Moon are under direct Terran control.

Nation sectors
The old nation-states on Earth were merged and converted into nation sectors, holding a limited degree of autonomy under the main government. Each sector is further divided into states, similar to the United States.
