History
For most of their history, human civilizations were militaristic, and often centered around cultural groups. Political entities would wage war for power over their regions, often at the expense of Human lives and well-being. More often than not, politics of these political entities centered around authoritarian rulers and monarchs.
With the development and proliferation of technologies allowing for faster travel over large distances, Human nations in the European region rapdily expanded their influence over other parts of Earth. This new age of colonial expansion led to a massive number of Human deaths around the world, as these rising nations focused more on their own wealth and power than the lives of other Human groups.
The most prevalent of these colonial powers was the British Empire, which took control of massive territories and many trade routes with its large and experienced naval presence. In order to assure that it remained influential during a time of nationalism, the British Empire would establish the Commonwealth of Nations in 1926 CE. This would surrender some autonomy to colonial territories, but would successfully quell tensions. Over the next centuries, the Commonwealth of Nations would continue expanding, largely diplomatically and through economic force, resulting in its renaming to the Terran Commonwealth.
Diplomacy
The Terran Commonwealth often engages in diplomacy and trade with other nations with an end goal of expanding their influence. The expansion of wealth generated from trade is nice, however the Commonwealth will often try to hedge their assets to influence and subjugate other powers. Military force is not uncommon, however the Commonwealth would rather use threats than outright declare war.
