Eyes Over the World

Eyes Over the World is a timeline in which a peaceful extra-terrestrial civilization contacted Earth in the year 1896. The aliens offered humanity guidance, until they can nurse-maid them into becoming a peaceful advanced society and full-fledged members of the Galactic Unity, a United Nations-type intergalactic organization.

Many Earth governments resisted, however they soon realized, they can't compete with the technologically hyper-advanced aliens. The World Council was then formed, consisting of the 100 greatest minds of Earth (selected by the aliens), whose job is to mediate between the extra-terrestrials and the human governments.

'''I know, there are other timelines dealing with alien contact in the past, but 1. they are mostly very small, undeveloped ones, 2. they are very different in concept to this one, so this is not a redundancy of another timeline by any means.'''
