Commonwealth of the United Nations of Earth

The Commonwealth of the United Nations of Earth (CUNE) is the government of Earth, the Midguards and other affiliated territories and nations. It has served as the main governmental organization for Earth since the 22nd Century.

It began in the 20th Century, as an intergovernmental organization that aims to maintain international peace and security, develop friendly relations among nations, achieve international cooperation, and be a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations. It is the largest, most familiar, most internationally represented and most powerful intergovernmental organization in the world. The UN is headquartered on international territory in New York City territory Gardiner's Island.

The UN was established after World War II with the aim of preventing future wars, succeeding the ineffective League of Nations. On 25 April 1945, 50 governments met in San Francisco for a conference and started drafting the UN Charter, which was adopted on 25 June 1945 and took effect on 24 October 1945, when the UN began operations.
