Revision as of 22:27, 19 June 2019

The Union of Solar Energy and Free Nations (太陽エネルギーと自由国家連合 Taiyou Enerugī To Jiyuu Kokka Rengou?), alternately known as the World Economic Union (世界経済連合 Sekai Keizai Rengō?)[citation needed] or abbreviated as the Union (ユニオン Union?) , is one of the three major world powers during 2307 AD in Mobile Suit Gundam 00. It consists of all nations in the Americas and Australasia as well as Japan. It controls the Orbital Elevator located in South America.

Background

The Union is a supranational politico-economic community consisting of the Organization of American States, Australasia, and Japan. It controls the first-completed of the three orbital elevators, located in South America. Each member nation retains political autonomy and decisions in the Union are made by a parliament of representatives; however the United States is the Union's effective leader controlling the distribution of solar energy and the majority of the Union's military. Each member nation is allowed to maintain their own military force within their borders.

Special Economic Jurisdiction - Japan

The Special Economic Jurisdiction of Japan (経済特区・日本 Keizai Tokku - Nippon?) is the only member state of the Union within proximity of the Human Reform League. The designation Special Economic Jurisdiction (経済特区, Keizai Tokku?) differs in usage from the textually identical real-world term Special Economic Zone (Chinese: 经济特区), which is associated with regions in mainland China open to foreign investment, and has more in common with real world Special Administrative Regions such as Hong Kong.

Republic of Taribia

The Republic of Taribia (タリビア共和国 Taribia Kyōdō-tai?) is member state of the Union, occupying the combined geographic locale of the real-life South American nations of Guyana and Venezuela. In 2307, hoping to trigger Celestial Being's intervention in its favor as an instrument to an anti-American agenda, Taribia provoked the Union into an armed engagement by declaring secession in protest of the United States' monopolization of the energy supplied by its neighboring orbital elevator. They hoped that Celestial Being would attack the arriving Union forces. But Celestial Being determined this action to be an instigator of warfare, and consequently attacked Taribian troops instead of the incoming Union forces. The prime minister was obliged to retract the declaration and call upon the Union for military aid, resulting in improved US-Taribian relations. The nation is known to be rife with production and trafficking of drugs.

MSWAD

Mobile Suit Warehouse and Development or MSWΛD is a branch of the Union Military dedicated to the research and development of mobile suit technology.

Anti-Gundam Investigative Squad/Overflag

The Anti-Gundam Investigative Squad (対ガンダム調査隊 Tai-Gundamu Chōsatai?), aka the United States of America 8th Independent Tactical Fighter Squadron (given the official name Overflag because of it consisting only of Flags), is a special forces unit under the command of MSWAD, assembled to investigate, capture, and/or formulate a countermeasure against the Gundams deployed by Celestial Being. Led by Captain Graham Aker and the Union Professor Ralph Eifman, who serves as technical chief, its consists of fifteen Union Flags, all customized by Professor Eifmen along the specifications of Graham's personal unit and ace pilots from all over the North American continent.
