Despite sporadic flare-ups, the world has increasingly homogenized
during the last several years. Just recently, the disparate factions
forming so many smaller alliances and confederations realized the
benefits of cooperation far outweighed continued squabbling over borders.
As such, there are now 7 Major Confederations forming the Executive Council
of the UEO:

| NORTH AMERICAN CONFEDERATION |
| Militarily, the most powerful alliance (though most confrontations
are handled under UEO auspices); member-nations U.S., Canada, Mexico, and all of
Central America are also economically the most well off, though several other
confederations are giving them a run for it. |

| FREE MARKET CONFEDERATION |
| In large part, the re-coalition of the old U.S.S.R. empire, though
this time in harmonious democracy. The region is still striving to better
itself economically, and, as such, they're often on the vanguard of new
frontiers -- willing to take the trailblazing risk with dreams of big rewards.
Their mineral and seal-life rich coastal waters had always been too cold to
support proper utilization, but with new technologies, these areas loom large
with potential.
On the other hand, this blossoming of Capitalism in a long-bereft are has
fostered some of the world's most aggressively ruthless deal-making. The
blind pursuit of cash is often the catalyst for ignoring undersea borders,
making the area a prime source of friction and confrontation. |

| EURO-AFRICAN CONFEDERATION* |
| Traditional Europe, the British Isles, and the countries of Northern
Africa make this a split-personality union. Both factions have ancient history
and cultures of vast difference, but they've been largely successful in melding
together to make their geographic proximity (also called "The Mediterranean
Confederation") work. The representatives from this region are often cast in the
role of dispute mediators -- having come to the realization long ago that fighting
benefits no one.

| EQUATORIAL AFRICAN CONFEDERATION |
| The overwhelming vast majority of countries reside in this union.
Internal boundaries are more fluid here than anywhere else on the planet, as
factional wars break out almost monthly. This makes the E.A.C. one of the most
volatile and exciting places on earth. Rich in mineral, human an dcultural
resources, venture capitalists are hovering on the fringes waiting for the
waters to stop roiling. As passions cool and unions solidify, the dark continent
shows promise of blossoming into a super-confederation. |

| INDO-ASIAN CONFEDERATION |
| The most populous union on the planet (China, India,
Japan, the Philippines, Southeast Asia and Indonesia), the seas are
essential to sustaining life for these people. Without the food they
harvest from the ocean, starvation would lead to revolution. In this
place where technology and manpower merge into a super-tuned manufacturing
maching, the occasional oppressive regime sparks as ugly counterpoint to
their overall progress into an economic giant giving the
North American Confederation a serious run for supremacy. |

| * According to Season 3, The Chaodai
had taken control of the Andaman Sea some 12 years prior to 2032. In
that case, the Chaodai territory would be composed of parts of Burma
(Myanmar), Thailand, and Malaysia, which all front on the Andaman Sea,
as well as the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. |
| SOUTH AMERICAN CONFEDERATION * * |
| Aggressive and violent, this alliance of nations seemingly banded
together with the sole intent of creating problems for the UEO. They're the
shoe-bangers in every meeting, stymieing progress and encouraging dissent.
Although technologically impaired, they are well-armed and hostile. Most of
their attempted joint ventures end in factional war requiring UEO mediation,
and their sea borders are always involved in one dispute or another. |

CONFEDERACY which is comprised, apparently of Brazil and Cuba. |
| PACIFIC ISLAND CONFEDERATION |
| Piled together in one place, the tiny island chains of the South Pacific
don't equal the mass of Texas, but their importance is so critical to a world economy
based on the utilization and transport of the seas that they've become vital players.
With minimal resources besides warm weather and location, location, location, they
control shipping lane access between the great land masses ofthe world. Peaceful and
laid back, these people live in countries literally built atop volcanoes, making them
frequent and welcome stopovers for the scientific and military contingents of seaQuest. |

| Though affable, they remain Eisenhower-like in their
isolationism, seeing no reason to join a confederation when they themselves
are a continent. |

| Cutting a diagonal swath into the heart of South American, these
"rational" countries are still satellites of the UEO governing body, though
they don't wish to be associated with their more cantankerous continental
neighbors. |
