Despite its elitism, psionic power opened new possibilities for individuals and governments alike. The ESP Center was created as an international organisation to monitor and control psionic activity around the world, to advise leaders on psionic matters and deal with any psionic crisis emerging. Unsurprisingly, this institution became ridiculously influential, dealing directly with the highest structures of world powers. Although the ESP Center never gained any significant military power, it became the descendant of the 20th century United Nations, becoming a mediator and counsellor in international affairs.
