Mnemosynian United Nations (FT)

The Mnemosynian United Nations (MUN) is an intergovernmental military alliance between the six countries on the planet of Mnemosynia. The MUN constitutes a system of collective defence where its independent member states agree to mutual defence in response to an attack by any external party. Since its inception, the MUN has expanded its scope to include more planetary cooperation in other areas such as economic development and interstellar exploration. The MUN's headquarters are located in New Mijeon, Milae.

History
In 123BT, the Mnemosynian Blackout occurred when the Mnemosynian Beacon was destroyed by an asteroid. It was this incident that led humanity to use the "daisy chain" method of laying FTL beacons, rather than using long-jumps. All contact was lost with the colonies.

After about 30 years, the Mnemosynian World War occurred. In order to avoid another devastating war, the Mnemosynians formed the United Nations.

In 120, Imperial explorers detected the Mnemosynian Beacon, which was still being run after 200 years with the hope that humanity would find them again. THis triggered a rush by all three hyperpowers to exploit the planet.

Jalangi
Jalangi, officially the Mukherjic Republic of Jalangi, is a theocratic semi-presidential republic located on the Jalangi subcontinent, the part of the continent Geoje located on the equator and penetrating into the southern hemisphere. With a population of roughly 225 million, Jalangi is the most populous country on Mnemosynia. The capital of Jalangi is the city of Firozapur, located at the head of Spinners' Bay on the eastern coast of the Jalangi subcontinent, facing the Opal Ocean. It is bordered to the north-west by Lazorevo and to the north-east by Milae, but is separated from both by the Politai mountain range. Several mountain passes provide land access, but these are treacherous. However, they still enabled Volkid attacks on Jalangi, most often coming from the now heavily-policed Valley of Min.

Initially settled by Arshavati settlers, the Jalangi subcontinent proved to be one of the more hospitable regions of the Mnemosynia, though the region was still extremely hazardous. The massive ice storms endemic to Mnemosynia's north transformed into driving tropical rains as they moved to the equator, often causing floods that devastated the coastal and riverine areas. Ferocious wildlife besieged the early settlements, particularly the volkid tribes attacking from central Geoje, as well as equatorial creatures like the chameleonic, carnivorous Snipes. However, the settlers on Jalangi eventually subjugated the land, tearing down the thick jungles and creating inland rice paddies atop the rough hills.

Kurokawa
The Republic of Kurokawa, commonly known as Kurokawa, is a parliamentary democracy located on the continent of Minoru. The third-largest nation on the planet, Kurokawa is moderately technologically advanced but largely keeps to themselves with a large agrarian industry. They are sometimes viewed with suspicion due to the infiltration by Imperial agitators and neo-culturalists. Kurokawa prides itself as the last remnants of the True Yashima, unlike the facsimile version of the neo-culturalists.

Lazorevo
The Lazorevo Federation, commonly known as Lazorevo, occupies the northern and western parts of the Geojan continent, also controlling the entire Polar Subcontinent of Geoje. Geographically, Lazorevo is the largest country on Mnemosynia, with its vast territory divided into two main areas, the southern, more hospitable Rodina, and the great northern expanse of Noviyy Tartary, which also includes the Polar Subcontinent. Lazorevo has a population of 145 million, making it the second-most populated country on Mnemosynia. It is heavily industrialised, and is often considered to be the world great power, though this is disputed by their close rivals in Milae. The capital is Novo Olestya, located on the banks of the Krasna River in Rodina, on the coast of the Mirror Sea.

A federal republic, Lazorevo is led by the Ruling Council.

Home to the strongest space industry on Mnemosynia, Lazorevo boasts two national space elevators and the largest spaceport on the planet, the Krasna Cosmodrome in Rodina. Lazorevo contributes the bulk of Mnemosynia's space force with their Lazorevo Federation Space Force, also known as the Kosmoflot, which comprises about 70% of the Mnemosynian space force alone.

Volkid raids and treacherous wildlife continue to plague Lazorevo, which bears the brunt of Volkid raids due to the sheer size of their territory.

Milae
The United Settlements of Milae is the second-largest of the nations on Mnemosynia, with the largest population. Descended from Gyunghwan settlers, the Milaeans are a proud people who hold tightly to their Gyunghwan heritage. They have the second-largest military on the planet, though are the most technologically advanced. Holding a privileged position in the east of the continent of Geoje, the Milaeans only need to contend with the Volkid tribes in the interior of the continent, but also face severe attacks from them that necessitated building The Wall. The rivalry between Milae and Lazorevo is still strong, despite their military alliance.

Military
Under the UNaM charter, and ensured to prevent the UNaM from interfering with national sovereignty, the UNaM does not have a single unified military. The six member states of the UNaM contribute their military forces voluntarily in a joint coalition force that helps to coordinate defence efforts during wartime. The global UNaM coalition works together to defend Mnemosynia and the Helios System from external threats, as well as to defend the collective interests of the Mnemosynian states.

The primary UNaM space force is the Lazorevo Kosmoflot, which is the largest space fleet on Mnemosynia, as well as the United Settlements Space Force. The other states on Mnemosynia have very limited or negligible space forces.

Saranet
Named after Saraswati, the Hindu goddess of knowledge, the Saranet started as an intranet for colonial government and military purposes during the early days of colonisation. After the fall of Ordis and the loss of connection to the Old Net, Saranet was expanded to act as a global Net for public use on Mnemosynia to replace the Old Net. Mnemosynia has naturally not officially adopted the Exonet, though a limited amount of Exonet nodes can be found in major cities where the rare foreign visitors can be expected. Saranet is a fully-functioning Net, though its infrastructure is archaic, with its own netrunners and databases. Some netrunners are employed to covertly bring information from the Exonet into the Saranet, a fairly lucrative job for netrunners often found in Milae and Kurokawa.
