 I have bastardized a lot of the content so it isn’t the same as in the source materials.
+===== Amalgamated Regional Militia =====
+{{ :arm.png?nolink|}}
+ARM began as a confederation of civil-defense organizations from every nation of Earth. The A.R.M. then evolved into an enforcer of United Nations regulations, especially technology control. Their current position has resulted in them becoming the overseeing police branch of Earth, equivalent to 20th-Century USA FBI agents.
 ===== Belt, The =====
-The Belt is an independent conglomeration of bases, stations, and mining platforms. They are based on Luna (The Earth’s Moon) and operate in the Main Asteroid Belt. They peacefully seceded from the UN at the start of the 22nd century, under the stipulation that Mars would remain under UN control. The government runs as a ‘meritocracy’, where leaders are chosen by a rigorous set of ‘aptitude tests’, and then must work their way through promotions.

 ===== United Nations =====
+{{ ::un.png?nolink|}}
 Due to several technologies and political issues resulting in fast approach of the Singularity, the UN decided to begin phasing in more controls as of 1990. Over the next few years, experimental investigative task forces were launched across the world. After successfully squashing plans by the Muslim terrorist qroup Al Queda to bomb The United States of America, the world governments agreed that the new task forces should be increased. As the Singularity hit and off-world colonization became a real possibility, the UN announced that it would be the new World Government. This announcement was backed by the combined military strength of The European Union, The United States of America, The British Commonwealth, Russia, Japan, and the United Arab Region.
