X-Com Funding Organizations
The Annapolis Conference of 2022 was attended by representatives from the G-20 nations as well as envoys from other world organizations such as the EU, AU, ECOWAS, the Arab League, and ASEAN. Following the conferences the participating organizations formed the Contract Structuring Organization (or CSO), which reviewed the initial bids from the hundreds of PMC’s that were vying for the job and laid out the framework for the Earth Defense Contract which would later be negotiated into the Ongoing X-Com Funding and Outfitting Agreement or FOA.
The FOA establishes three tiers of funding organizations for X-Com, with higher tiers receiving more attention from X-Com then those who contribute less funding. The highest tier, Tier I, is reserved solely for sovereign nations, but confederations and treaty organizations are permitted as lower tier funding organizations thus allowing poorer countries to pool their resources and participate in the program. As part of the FOA, X-Com is granted the right to conduct operations within the territory of all participants, and build and maintain facilities at the company’s discretion. All totaled, nearly every nation on Earth participates in the FOA at some Tier, either directly or through a treaty organization. If X-Com were a nation, it would have the 15th largest military budget in the world.
Tier I Funding Nations
Tier I Funding Nations are guaranteed that X-Com personnel will be on scene of a UFO event within three hours. Additionally, Tier I nations are party to research agreements with X-Com, and can claim the intellectual rights of any technology that X-Com develops as part of these agreements. Tier I nations are also authorized access to all X-Com intelligence reports and analysis.
Members: Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, United States, United Kingdom
Tier II Funding Organizations
Tier II Funding Organizations are guaranteed an X-Com response within eight hours of a UFO event, except for direct assaults on a major population center which will receive and immediate deployment. Tier II nations are also allowed to enter research agreements with X-Com, but receive only partial ownership of the rights to any technology resulting from them. Treaty organizations and confederations are prohibited from entering research agreements with the company. Tier II Organizations are authorized access to only the X-Com intelligence data pertinent to the organization in question.
Members: Argentina, ASEAN, Brazil, Egypt, EU, India, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, UAE, Venezuela
Tier III Funding Organizations
Tier III Funding Organizations are allowed to request X-Com personnel to respond to any alien activity that they detect themselves. The requesting organization is responsible for the safe transport of X-Com personnel to the location in question. Tier III Organizations are prohibited from entering research agreements with X-Com, and are barred from all X-Com intelligence reports.
Notable Members: Arab League, AU, Iran, UN (to ensure token coverage of all member nations)
Private Organizations
Société pour Unité et Fraternité Universelle [Society for Universal Unity and Brotherhood] (SUFU)
Founded by a French-born Swiss businessman, and staunch peace advocate, named Renauld Canard, the Society is the world’s preeminent anti-Alien War activist group. SUFU believes that the extraterrestrials came on a mission of peace and friendly cooperation with all sentient beings in universe dating back to the Roswell Crash, but they were forced to resort to violence in the face of humanity’s penchant for war. To that end they oppose X-Com on principle, decry any sovereign nation’s actions against the aliens, and encourage all funding organizations to withdrawal from the FOA and seek to make a separate peace with the aliens.
The Society says they have had their beliefs validated by the aliens themselves in a number of meetings with the alien “leadership”, who SUFU claims have given them evidence of their desires for peace. SUFU provided a number of video clips and still photos of these meetings to the media which showed Canard and other Society leadership meeting with what appear to be very human like aliens. Analysts believe that these extraterrestrials are some sort of genetically engineered hybrid specifically created for strategic communications purposes.
Originally, SUFU operations were limited to Europe but their recent recruitment campaign was very successful and both their numbers and donations swelled following a string high profile X-Com public relations failures such as the Enfield New Hampshire training accident. With more operating capital, SUFU has made inroads onto North America and recently held two highly publicized, and simultaneous, public rallies in New York and San Francisco. The increase in cash flow has also allowed the Society to step up its lobbying campaign in Europe and intelligence indicates that SUFU has held low level meetings with aides to officials in a number of European governments.
Analysts suspect that there is significant alien infiltration into SUFU, through clones, hybrids, and psionic conditioning, and that it is essentially a front for direct political action by the aliens at this point. They also believe that the strategic communications disparity between X-Com and the Society will add substantial weight to their political campaign. If unchecked, the threat of a significant European funding nation withdrawing from the FOA is assessed as high.
