Coalition of Ordered Governments

"

''The Coalition of Ordered Governments? They're also known as COG too. Well, heck. That sounds pretty amazing... and cool. I like that kickass name, even for these guys out there in this nation, Marcus Fenix, Dom Santiago, and I, like this, of course.''"

--Su Ji-Hoon, Ashes

The Coalition of Ordered Governments (COG) was a supranational alliance in North America. Headquartered in the Tyran capital of Ephyra, the COG comprised almost every nation in New Sera, a region in North America in the aftermath of the ODIN Space Station satellite strikes, prior to Emergence Day.

The COG originated as a socialist political faction theorized by Alexiy Desipich and founded by Nassar Embry and the Allfathers. Prior to and during the Gold Rush, during which Imulsion was discovered, the COG was a relatively minor political movement, and eventually grew into a larger, yet still minor faction. Following the Gold Rush, the discovery of the Lightmass Process came with a worldwide golden age. After some years, some nations took near total control of the Imulsion business, which left some nations with a weakening economy. This resulted in the subsequent commencement of the Pendulum Wars, which lasted for eighty long years.
