Alien Universe Governments: The UA, 3WE, UPP, And ICSC
By the 2180s, charted space was held by four governments: the United Americas, the Three World Empire, the Union of Progressive Peoples, and the Independent Core System Colonies. The United Americas held the American Arm and fielded the Colonial Marines. The Three World Empire, formed from Britain, Japan, and their partners, held the Anglo-Japanese Arm. The Union of Progressive Peoples was the socialist bloc, with the People's Army and the Space Operating Forces, and its capital at Rodina Station. The Independent Core System Colonies grew out of the 2080s Central Space Consortium and sold protection to worlds outside those three arms, including Alexandria. The firms that worked inside these states are collected under Alien Universe Companies, and the settlements they planted are under Alien Universe Colonies.
Union of Progressive Peoples (UPP): The Socialist Bloc
The Union of Progressive Peoples formed in the early 2100s from Russia, Germany, and Spain, with China helping the union take shape. By the 2180s it was the resource-poor socialist rival of the United Americas, fielding the People's Army and the Space Operating Forces from its capital at Rodina Station.

Three World Empire: The Anglo-Japanese Arm
The Three World Empire formed in the 2080s from the United Kingdom, Japan, India, and other states, and took its name from Earth, Mars, and Titan. By the 2180s it held the oldest extrasolar colonies on the Anglo-Japanese Arm, with a prime minister, a royal figurehead, and Weyland-Yutani seated in parliament.

United Americas: Government Of The American Arm
The United Americas formed in the early 2100s when North, Central, and South America signed the Washington Treaty. By the 2180s it was the strongest colonizing power in charted space, holding the American Arm through Allied Command, the Colonial Marines, and the Colonial Marshal Bureau.
