The Free People of Earth (FPE) was a government-in-exile organized by Danielle Talbot for the human refugees who were forced to flee their homeworld after the Fall of Earth. Although it was established to give a democratic voice to the ten-thousand civilians and servicemen trying to survive at the Beta Site, it was severely limited by Samantha Carter and the rest of the military until the Liberation of Earth, at which time it took on a much more influential role in shaping human affairs. The organization was officially dissolved when its legislative body voted to restore the United Nations and transfer all their powers and authorities back to the international union.
