The North American Alliance (NAA) was a supranational political and economic union of multiple member states that were located primarily on the North American continent of Earth (Sol III). Formed in 2189, it rose to help facilitate the sourcing and exchanging of valuable resources made scarce due to the unimpeded environmental destruction wrought during previous centuries. When Mars (Sol IV) was fully terraformed In 2157, member states held a summit reaffirming their intention to maintain the alliance. The NAA lasted until 2380, when it was superseded by the United Nations of Earth (UNE).
