National Governments were governing factions which led the nations on Earth for millennium before the dawn of the United Nations Space Command. They started out as primitive tribes. Over time they advanced into city states like Sparta, Athens, and Rome. The more successful city states managed to form empires. For a long period 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. The dominant power at the time was the Spanish Empire, before being surpassed by the British Empire, which became the largest empire in Earth's history. After the First World War, Britain collapsed as a superpower and the United States took the stand, and later it, along with two other powers, China and Russia, advanced into the space age, followed by Europe, Japan, and eventually the rest of the world.
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.[1] However, though the governments collapsed, the individual cultures, languages, and other such unique beliefs existed among the people under the UNSC until much later.
