'''National Governments''' were governing factions which led the nations on [[Earth]] for milleinia before the dawn of the UNSC. They started out as primitive tribes. Over time they advanced into citie states like Sparta, Rome, and Hong Kong. The more successful city states managed to form empires. The greatest empire in western civilization was Rome, whom based their success off of that of the Greeks. After Rome fell to German barbarians in 476 A.D., Europe went though a period of anarchy, eventually entering the Middle Ages. After about a thousand years, the United States was born, and later it, along with two other powers, China and Russia, advanced into the space age, followed by Europe, Japan, and eventually the rest. The National Governments of Earth engaged in several colonial proxy-wars, one of which was the [[Interplanetary War]] in the 2100's. Ultimately, the individual national governments on Earth collapsed, paving the way for the creation of a centralized Earth government known as the [[United Earth Government]], which controls the [[United Nations Space Command]]. <ref>http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/h/halo/storyline.htm</ref> However, though the governments collapsed, the individual cultures, languages, and other such unique beliefs existed among the people under the UNSC.

By the 26th century, nations still exist and officially control territories on Earth.{{Ref/Reuse|page19}} The [[Wikipedia:Exonym and endonym|endonyms]] of several countries, including [[United Korea|Hanguk]] and [[Germany|Deutschland]], have been adopted into official usage alongside their exonyms.{{Ref/Game|Id=essen|Game=[[Halo 3]]|Detail=[[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/C variant|MJOLNIR/C armor description]]}} As well, the UEG recruited [[ODST]]s from every nation in the UEG.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/projects/odst/guide.aspx|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Halo 3: ODST Field Guide - ODST|Quote=ODSTs are recruited from the Special Operations Groups of all the nations of the Unified Earth Government (UEG)}} At this time, the [[United Nations|United Nations (UN)]] acted as an adjudicator of administrative tasks between nations.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm2969315_Catalog-Interaction.aspx#post2969315|Site=Halo Waypoint|Quote=Query Answer: Human records indicate that the assembly (ref: United Nations) is a vestigial organization responsible for adjudication of administrative tasks between territorial sectors on Erde-Tyrene.}} People originating from nation states at this point in time are also given national identity certification papers, something that at least [[Quito Space Tether]] security personnel are allowed to check.{{Ref/Map|H3|Orbital|Quote=Upon request, all passengers are required to present their National Identity Certification papers to Quito Orbital Elevator authority personnel.}}
