The United Planets was a government which existed at some point after humans became a regularly space-faring species. It bound together peoples from different planets opposed to the Daleks and was the authorising body for the Anti-Dalek Force. It was lead by a president, who was the head of the United Planets Parliament — thus suggesting a parliamentary form of democracy. It was based on Earth. Its relationship to other human governments, such as the one lead by the President of Earth, was unknown. (DWAN: Terry Nation's Dalek Annuals 1976 - 1979)
