Aftermath
After the Great Teleportation Incident of May 17, 2022, the United Nations immediately started drafting a resolution preventing any future similar incidents from ever taking place on Earth. On May 24, 2022, the UN unanimously signed the S/RES/2631 resolution.
The consequences of the independent militarized factions period of Earth were devastating to most of the world's economies. It is believed that approximately 6 million people were killed as a result of this period. The majority of these deaths have been among the military personnel of the organizations. Some of these casualties were even caused by nuclear warfare, such as the deadly conclusion of the Bernask armed crisis.
