Contrary to the UNE's claims of "unifying humanity under a common banner" the state it birthed was conceived through fear, greed, violence, and corruption. The nation's reference to these conflicts as "Unification Wars" highlights its hypocritical origins.

A scene of Chairman Samuel Healy of the UNE Federal Government meeting with a representative from the last independent nations formally joining the UNE and ending the Unification Wars. Scene from the opening of Tyrant Tactics.
