The Decendents Union is a young nation on Planet Bob. It was established by the leader Landon Esser, a flamboyant, charismatic and ambitious man that gained power through his business empire, producing Oil and Uranium. Being an atheist nation, the Decendents Union is a strong advocate of science and truth. The first action Landon Esser took when he claimed power was to enter the NATO alliance. After 20 months in NATO he was asked to take over as Secretary of Commerce, a position he has since defended in two elections.
