| - The Confoedera Unitae Platiorum (Confederacy of United Platonists) was an international organization founded in 1974 by the platonist nations of the world. Over the next decade it would grow greater in influence and power, at its peak comprising over half the countries on Earth, though less than a tenth of its landmass. It had the stated aim of uniting all humans under the freedom of platonism, where all men, women and children would be considered equal by the state, which would rule over the land with a philosophical variety of justice. Although the tenets of platonism were the foundation of the organization, these were not entirely upheld by all, or even any, of its members. Slavery still existed in its largest member, the states wielded their power for certain personal goals and equality of personal wealth was never achieved. However, most of these platonist nations were democratic governments, contrasting sharply with the imperial tendencies of the Foedus Terrae's member nations. Racial and religious equality were also widespread in the Confederacy and its goal was in fact to unite all the races of Earth into the same nation. This would actually make the Confederacy more similar to the Allies of WWII, the Foedus representing the Axis of course. The Confederacy of United Platonists was however dissolved in 1991 and all of its members were put under occupation by the Alliance of Earth. The Republic of Vinland was given to the Mongols as a reward for switching to the Alliance side halfway through the war. Other nations lost substantial amounts of territory to either the Mayans, Roman or Japanese. The Khmer remain under strict military domination by the Romans, whilst the Danes were only recently given independence in 2000, nearly a decade after their organization's fall.
