The Earth Union is the main Government Responsible for policy and political workings for the Earth Sphere, holding the majority position for what was later reestablished as the Neo United Nations. The very EU Government is made up of the various Bloc's that were reorganized in EC 011 to stabilize the worlds economy levels and establish more capable world powers. The actual creation of the Earth Union came into prospect in EC 018 due to many concerns by different leaders, but the finalized plan went into action in EC 024. The government itself is very popular from the outside, making public relations a top priority for face value but the very core of the Union's government runs a different, realistic approach towards how things are run. Nation's that have not joined the Earth Union are simply urged to for they're own prosperity and though who remain independent are sanctioned indirectly by those who work behind the scenes of the government.

Views on the Diviners
It is to note that even though the proof that Diviner's exist has risen in the last few years, many believe it all to be lies, especially in the Earth Union and find the evidence either flawed or simply staged.

Military

The Earth Union Military is divided into several branches with the basics being the Army, the Space Forces and the Mobile Suit Forces. It is because of this very generalization of the ranking and branch system that allows the Earth Union to keep things simple without overstepping their capabilities and resources. There are sub-branches such as the security forces for regional use and the special forces known as the Shadow Cell which operates outside the normal chain of command. In EC 025 when the Mobile Suits were first actively introduced, the way the ranks worked changed dramatically. Pilot for Mobile Suits are immediately treated as officers albeit merely as ensigns or warrant officers to avoid disrupting the normal chain of command, however, established rank does take over during pilot-to-pilot interactions. In Example: A First Sergeant can still order around that group of Corporals even though they're all "appointed rank" pilots.
