United Earth

After the devastating thermonuclear wars of the 21st century, popular support for a united world government eventually led to the formation of the United Earth (UE).

One of the most salient goals of the UE is the advancement of scientific understanding and exploration of the universe. After the invention of FTL technology, the newly united humankind has spread around the solar system and is starting to conduct exploratory missions beyond.

Flag
The flag used by the United Earth government was first proposed in 2015. The intention was that it be used in future space exploration to represent the Earth, rather than the flag of any nation-state. It has seven interlocking rings on a blue background. Each ring represents one of the continents of Earth, with the blue background representing her oceans.
