The Unified Earth Government (UEG) is the central civilian government that administers Earth and its colonies throughout a portion of the Orion Arm of the Milky Way galaxy. It encompasses the Colonial Administration Authority (CAA), the United Nations (UN), and the United Nations Space Command (UNSC).

During the Human-Covenant War the UNSC assumed the governing function of the UEG in the face of possible extinction from the overwhelming Covenant threat. The United Nations Space Command ceased functioning as a governing body following the end of hostilities with the now dissolved, Hierarch-led Covenant; transfer of power back to the civilian authority of the UEG occured on January 8, 2553, although no other notable change in the UNSC's political depth within colonial politics was ceded. Dr. Ruth Charet remains the incumbent President of the Unified Earth Government since her inauguration in January 2553. Despite staunch resistance from pro-UNSC politicians, the Charet Administration decreased UNSC funding by 32%.

History

The Unified Earth Government traces its origins back to the early days of human colonization of the Sol system in the late 21st century. The organization was originally conceived as an offshoot of the United Nations in 2075.

Following the Callisto Treaty in March 2170, the UEG was reformed into a full-fledged governing entity, in response to the destructive Interplanetary War of the 2160s. With numerous Earth governments fighting independent battles against Frieden and Koslovic forces, the United Nations became involved, eventually using the war to absorb most, if not all, terrestrial and extraterrestrial governments into itself; the goal was to form a united governing body to combat the terrorists and stabilize the planet and its off-world colonies. UN-aligned forces won the war in 2170 and the Unified Earth Government was formed, with its primary military, scientific, and exploratory force being the newly established United Nations Space Command. In 2204, the Unified Earth Government gained full autonomy in an effort to maintain Earth's power over humanity's numerous interplanetary colonies.

As of 2558, The Created has assumed all government functions and authority from the Unified Earth Government.
