New Eden Emergency Authority
"If your nation has a flavor quote/motto, it goes here"
Government Form:
Authoritarian Military Dictatorship
Population:
Approximately 2.5 Billion
What is humanity?:
To the average Edenian, such philosophical pondering would be seen as useless at best and offensive at worst. The average Edenian would be far too busy worrying about environmental hazards and making ends meat rather than spending time on thought provoking questions. However if one was able to able to get an answer, most Edenians would agree that "Humanity" is the indomitable will to survive. Of course in the hellscape that is New Eden, this seemingly positive message is twisted into an extremely pessimistic ideology.
Living in the shadow of nuclear conflict and generations of war, the will to survive became an individualistic drive. One where any and all actions taken to survive is not only seen as necessary but wholly justified.

Planet/System Name and Description: The New Eden Emergency Authority, as the name implies, resides in the planet of New Eden. Before the sudden lost of Earth, New Eden was extensively and meticulously terraform to resemble Earth. After its fiery nuclear war, the planet is but a shadow of its former self. Once lush and verdant biospheres are now reduced to barren, radioactive soil barely able to sustain any life. Only 30% or so of the planet's surface is fit for Human habitation.
Demographics: (For talking about how much of the population belongs to different groups/ethnicities/religions/whatever. This space can also be used for describing genetic/cybernetic modifications your people have done, subspecies that have been created, aliens that may have been integrated, and so on.)
History:
The colonization of the planet that would be known as New Eden was Earth's most ambitious project at the time. A planet simply classified as #387224 was discovered by Earth's earliest exploration teams. Its importance wasn't discovered until another exploration, this time with more extensive and sensitive equipment, arrived a few years after. Planet #387224 was discovered to have properties shockingly similar to Earth. Its gravity, water levels, sea level pressure and other planetary features were similar to Earth. In fact the only thing keeping the exploration team from taking off their environmental suits was the lack of oxygen in planet #387224's atmosphere.
When news of planet #387224 reached Earth, it quickly entered the public consciousness when scientist, politicians and other interested parties argued over what to do with it. Soon enough there were two popular main camps of thought over the planet. One that argued that planet #387224 should be left untouched and turned into a nature reserve. The other argued that planet #387224 should be turned into Humanity's first attempt to settle a new world off in the stars. The debate over the planet became heated at times and the public's opinion shifted one way or the other. However the colonization of a new planet became more and more popular by the day.
A new name was chosen for Humanity's next mega project. Planet #387224 would be renamed as New Eden and so would the ambitious program to terraform it. Multinational conferences and treaties would be made. The brightest minds and the largest entities, both private and public, pitches their knowledge and resources into the massive endeavor. It would take decades of hard work and controversy but New Eden would be turned into a planet similar to Earth. In some aspects, like the duplication of several natural landmarks on Earth, almost a carbon copy.
The colonization of New Eden became a very publicized event. People were encouraged to move to the planet with seemingly endless ad campaigns. New Eden was touted as an untouched paradise just waiting for new people to experience all its wonders. Millions would apply to become New Eden's first residents. Entire cities grew seemingly overnight on the planet's surface. Five districts were made to administer the five continents on the planet's surface. On paper every nation that participated in the New Eden project had authority over every district. In practice however the five largest and most powerful nations on Earth governed each of the districts.
Jurisdiction over the districts were becoming an increasingly divisively issue on New Eden. There were calls for New Eden to become more autonomous from the oversight of Earth. Others outright demanded independence. However these requests were largely ignored on Earth, which itself was suffering from its own bouts of instability and chaos. The five districts, which were supposed to be temporary administrative bodies, became more and more restrictive. Hard borders were enforced and each district began implementing laws mirroring their mother nations on Earth. As on Earth, tensions grew between these districts.
These growing inter-district rivalries became worst when

Governance and Politics: (Like the government form field, but more room for detail. If your Colony has changed in such a way that it doesn't even have a government or politics anymore, this is also a good place to talk about that.)
Technology Overview: (What have your people invented? Or have they forgotten anything?)
Military Overview:
Mercenaries
With Premier Chang yet to appoint an official successor in the time of his death, which many are noting could be coming soon because of his advanced age and declining health, his five district governors are gearing up for the eventuality of a civil war. They have the conventional armed forces of their districts to amass as well as special forces that they have kept exclusively to themselves. These warriors are veterans of the Unification war and are battle hardened and tested. They are usually on average older than the fresh faced recruits of the NEEA.
The district governors are ready to lend these soldiers to the galactic community for a price. Each of them are listed below.
Freelancer's Legion
Back before joining then General Chang's Unification war, then self proclaimed Colonel Jessica Adebisi was the head of the Freelancer Corps. The Freelancer Corps was a mix of seasoned soldiers and brigands all forced to exist with one another to survive. They were a notoriously violent group who raided settlements and surviving towns for anything of value. Those who resisted were brutalized and killed. Then general Chang would recruit the roving band under his command. Then he sent Colonel Adebisi and her Freelancers to the city of New Aleppo. According to some accounts, the general Chang sent the Freelancers to the battle as cannon fodder so that his more experienced soldiers can clean up what remained. Much to his surprise however, the Freelancers did incredibly well. Taking parts of the ruined city and setting up a staging area for the rest of Chang's forces.
In the current time, the Freelancers are the largest and most well equipped out of the five paramilitary forces. Indeed they are the size of an actual army, a million strong. The Freelancers make use of their numbers and equipment to its full potential. In combat they exercise combined arms tactics with each miniature branches of the Freelancer's Legion coordinating their actions with extreme precision. Premier Chang uses the Freelancer's Legion as an elite army he can field when his other forces have failed him. During the Fortitude City Uprising, when two army groups couldn't dislodge Fortitude City rebels from their positions, Premier Chang sent now District Governor Adebisi and her Freelancers to destroy them. After a month of fighting, the rebels were effectively crushed and dispersed.
Hyperion Group
The Hyperion Group was a small organization of former Haiyangian special forces that offered their services to then General Chang. The group was and still is led by some extent by the infamous Daichi Nakamura. Nakamura was a lieutenant colonel before retiring from Haiyagang Rangers. After he retired, he recruited individuals with similar military training and expertise has he did and offered their services to wealthy clientele. Often enough this involved fighting off brigands and raiders in the regions that the Haiyangan military couldn't effectively control. This would lead them to fighting skirmishes with the encroaching general Chang. After a few battles, Nakamura decided it would be more beneficial to join with the rising general rather than fighting him.
After joining in with general Chang, one of his most closest officers, one Andrej Petrovic, saw their potential. With his close personal friendship with one another, Peotrovic convinced Chang to give the mercenaries the best equipment he could procure.
