Unified Nations

The Founder Invasion also inspired the creation of a one-world government known as the Unified Nations, consisting of 97% of countries in the world, with loose alliances formed with the majority of the rest. The UN is controlled by a single, duly elected President, with the election process subject to the following rules: The current Unified Nations President is Tsigereda Kahsu Tadesse, the nominee from Ethiopia. She is considered to be a good leader, fair and just when dealing with matters of state and decisive when it comes to matters of global security. Her attitude towards superhumans is generally positive in public while maintaining a healthy scepticism behind closed doors, feeling that humanity cannot rely on superheroes alone to solve their problems.
 * 1) No country shall put forward more than one candidate for the Presidency during each election cycle.
 * 2) No more than 10 candidates may run in the election race, this shortlist is voted for by all members of the UN.
 * 3) The President must be elected by a majority of the popular vote.
 * 4) A President’s term is eight years, after which the same individual cannot hold the office again.
 * 5) No single country can hold the office for two consecutive terms.

The Office of the President is supported by the Council of Nations, a core group of 20 countries whose membership rotates every four years to ensure greater coverage of the nations that make up the UN. Each country is represented by a single Councillor who is elected by popular vote within each nation, and is sworn to act with the best interests of both their own country and the greater UN conglomerate in mind and at heart.

The capital city of each country incorporates a Unified Nations building, and the official headquarters of the organisation rotates every eight years with the election of a new President and corresponding home nation. As such, the current headquarters is in Ababa City, the capital of Ethiopia and home to President Tadesse.
