- During this decade, and in others to come, many regional alliances on Earth are formed as parallels to the United Nations -- and the later New United Nations -- due to economic and security imbalances among the nation-states. The establishment of these alliances increases after the Eugenics Wars. (Star Trek: Shadowstar Station)
- The more affluent nation-states on Earth become more authoritarian, and increasingly develop into "surveillance states." This is due to worldwide economic downturns and fostered by the rise of Internet connectivity. (Star Trek: Shadowstar Station)
