<P> Infinite Warfare is set in the distant future , after Earth has been stripped of its natural resources as a result of population growth and industrial expansion , prompting the nations of the world to unite and form the United Nations Space Alliance ( UNSA ) , a political organization that handles matters related to trade , travel , land claims and all efforts relating to human space colonization . The residents of Earth rely on colonies established elsewhere in the Solar System in order to mine planets and asteroids for resources . The value of these outposts , however , attracts militant radicals who seek to control them ; an action which could place the countries of Earth in a very unfavorable position . In response , the UNSA is defended by the Solar Associated Treaty Organization ( SATO ) , a coordinated military structure that defends Earth and the UNSA 's holdings . However , prior to the events of the game , a new hostile faction emerges , known as the Settlement Defense Front ( SDF ) , which consists of insurgents that broke away from the United Nations Space Alliance during a war of secession . Following years of a troubled stalemate with the Front , relations have deteriorated to a point where the entire Solar System is poised on the brink of war . By the events of the game , the Settlement Defense Front declares war on the UNSA and launches a surprise attack on Geneva , severely weakening SATO 's forces on Earth . </P>
