Non-Governmental Organization	comment	Non-governmental organizations, commonly abbreviated NGOs, are independent entities often international in scope and shepherding thousands of employees, focus on world problems such as poverty, health care or women's rights. Unlike corporations, NGOs are not-profit. Real NGOs that are well-known include the Red Cross, Oxfam, Doctors Without Borders and Amnesty International. In fiction, these organizations may be fictionalized versions of real NGOs, or entirely new organizations that might take on real or fantastic threats - say, an NGO that focuses on the threat of robot invasions. Such non-state actors tend to be supported by rich benefactors, either eccentric philanthropists or a shadowy council. If they're not really that non-governmental, they're called "quango", short for "quasi-NGO". Compare/contrast N.G.O. Superpower. Due to its profit motive, a Mega-Corp generally isn't counted as a true NGO despite its non-governmental nature. A Fake Charity is when an individual or group masquerades as one of these in order to make money for themselves.

Non-Governmental Organization / int_4d862ebf	comment	EarthGuard and Wings Over the World in Anno Dracula 1999: Daikaiju. EarthGuard is the local Who You Gonna Call? group, but unlike the Diogenes, the Unnamables or the Opera Ghost Agency, which (at least nominally) report to a government, they're an NGO covering the whole Pacific Rim and have an internal faction that is not operating in people's best interests. WOtW, meanwhile, is a supposed humanitarian relief charity, which is actually what you'd get if a Gerry Anderson-style organisation was being run by a vampiric version of a sixties supervillainess.

The idea is to give them job opportunities that aren't military in nature, and thereby advance their human rights as people and not weapons. It's funded by the Stellar Generator, an extremely efficient power plant that requires magicians to operate it.
