United Nations

The United Nations (UN) was an international organization on Earth in the 20th and 21st centuries with nearly all the major nation-states on the planet participating in it.

Established in 1945 in the aftermath of World War II, its founders hoped the UN would lead the nation-states of Earth to communicate more openly with one another, averting war or conflict as best as possible. By 1951, the UN was based in New York City, New York, Earth.

In 1996, after a devastating attack during the Eugenics Wars, leaving thousands dying or dead from a non-curable illness from a biogenic weapon, the UN had the bodies cryogenically frozen and launched into Earth orbit in cryosatellites in the hope one day a cure could be found.
