The Living Library of Memorious // VOLUME 103J:
Organizations: Non-Divine: Earth Sphere: Governmental: The New Earth Hegemony
While many simply refer to the collected forces of the Earth sphere as "the Earth Cult," this a fundamental mischaracterization of a complex array of distinct (but aligned) governmental, cultural, and military organizations. Reconnaissance has revealed that the fulcrum of these groups is the New Earth Hegemony, a governing body whose reach extends throughout the Sol system and which functions as mediator and marshal. The NEH is led by a principal statehead called "the Hegemon," but little is known about the figure currently in this role. (Also see: The Blue Path, Geocentrism)
