The UIPS

The UIPS (United Independent Planets of Earth) is a nation in the galaxy Dominus. It is the first nation outside the Galaxy Nublor to come into contact with the GDE.

Territory
The UIPS has 16 systems, which would be classified into 4~5 sectors by the GDE.

The capital is the Sol System (aka Sol Sector by the GDE) and their government is on the planet Earth.

Military
The Military of the UIPS is very old fashioned, but is developing due to the influence of the GDE (not that we're helping, but they saw the need of research).

It currently operates 800 starships and 8000 fighters.

Ancient Era
During the ancient times, the people of UIPS lived only on Earth. They were divided into factions. The major factions at that time (known as Year 2500 AD by the Earthlings) were:

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Western Europe.

The United States of North America

The Russian Federation of Eastern Europe and Northern Asia

The Republic of China and Tibet (formerly Taiwan)

The Great Kingdom of the Islamic Ascendancy

The Pacific Union of Oceania

These nations plunged into war.

The Russian Federation, the US and the Republic of China were all destroyed by each other's nuclear warheads.

The Pacific Union marched against the Kingdom and the UK defeated the two weakened nations.

After a 100 years, peace was restored and the war had developed technology to a new level.

The UK colonised the moon and changed its name to the United Kingdom of Earth in 2780 AD.

Dark Ages

Galactic Industry Revolution Era
The UK colonises other star systems.

Name changes to UIPS in 3024 AD.
