The Complex Web of Nations and Factions in the Universal Century

In the vast expanse of the Universal Century, numerous nations and factions have emerged, each with their own agendas, motivations, and ideologies. This intricate web of alliances, rivalries, and conflicts has shaped the course of human history in this era.

The Earth Federation: A Global Government

At the heart of this complex landscape lies the Earth Federation, a global government born from the ashes of the United Nations. Comprising a Security Council and General Assembly, the Federation is a powerful entity that has shaped the destiny of humanity. However, its formation was not without controversy, as it was established by a “rich man’s club” of wealthy nations.

The Earth Federation Forces: Defenders of the Federation

The military arm of the Earth Federation, the Earth Federation Forces, is a formidable entity tasked with maintaining peace and order in the Earth Sphere. Divided into several branches, including land, sea, air, and space forces, the Federation Forces have played a crucial role in shaping the course of human history.

Anti-Earth Federation Movements: Resistance and Rebellion

However, not everyone is content with the Federation’s dominance. Various anti-Earth Federation movements have emerged, driven by a desire for independence, self-determination, and resistance against the Federation’s authority. These movements, including the Anti Earth Union Group (AEUG), Karaba, and Mafty, have challenged the Federation’s authority and shaped the course of human history.

The Principality of Zeon: A Rebel Nation

One of the most significant factions in the Universal Century is the Principality of Zeon, a rebel nation that declared independence from the Earth Federation in U.C. 0058. Led by Zeon Zum Deikun and later by Degwin Sodo Zabi, the Principality of Zeon has been a thorn in the side of the Federation, engaging in conflicts that have shaped the course of human history.

Crossbone Vanguard: A Powerful Militia

Another significant faction is the Crossbone Vanguard, a powerful militia created by Meitzer Ronah. With its advanced mobile suits and skilled pilots, the Vanguard has played a crucial role in shaping the course of human history, often finding itself at odds with the Earth Federation and other factions.

The Jupiter Empire and Zanscare Empire: Ambitious Entities

In the later years of the Universal Century, two ambitious entities have emerged: the Jupiter Empire and the Zanscare Empire. The Jupiter Empire, a self-proclaimed political entity, has sought to conquer Earth, while the Zanscare Empire has launched its own invasion of the planet. Both empires have been thwarted by the Crossbone Vanguard and the League Militaire, respectively.

A Complex Web of Alliances and Rivalries

The Universal Century is characterized by a complex web of alliances and rivalries between these nations and factions. As they navigate the intricate landscape of politics, war, and ideology, they have shaped the course of human history in profound ways.
