The United Nations (UN) is an international organization whos stated purpose is to maintain international peace and security. In recent years, since the War of 2017, the UN has taken a direct roll in governance, establishing provisional governments and raising a permanent army. The UN has also engaged both criminal gangs in terra nullius regions as well as several warring nations in direct combat, drawing criticism from many nations. As of 2024, the UN has 111 member states, down from 193 in May, 2017. Despite this, the UN has never been in a stronger position, and is considered one of the premier world governments. The UN Peacekeeping Corps is one of the most advanced and largest fighting forces in the world as of 2024.
History[]
Founding and Cold War[]
The United Nations was established in 1945 following World War II to prevent future conflicts and foster international cooperation. Initially comprising 51 member states, its primary goals were to maintain international peace and security, develop friendly relations among nations, and promote social progress, better living standards, and human rights. Over the decades, the UN played pivotal roles in decolonization, peacekeeping, and conflict resolution, with significant interventions in Korea, the Congo, the Middle East, and the Balkans, among others. It also spearheaded numerous initiatives and conferences addressing global issues such as human rights, the environment, population, health, and development, epitomized by the Millennium Development Goals established in 2000. Despite criticisms regarding its bureaucracy, effectiveness, and instances of failure to prevent conflicts, the UN expanded significantly, reaching 192 member states by 2012.
War of 2017[]
United Nations General Secretary invoked UN Charter Article 99 just days before June 24. This failed, and the war escalated, resulting in a massive nuclear exchange. In the hours and days following the war, the UN received unprecedented support and funding for peacekeeping and aid operations. Despite this, disagreements between General Secretary Antonio Gutteres and United States President Donald Trump over how to handle the humanitarian crisis in Canada and the northern US states led to the departure of the United States from the United Nations and the expulsion of the UN headquarters from New York on June 25th. This forced the UN to relocate.
Relocation and the Reclamation Declaration[]
With many of the world's cities destroyed, damaged, or facing major unrest, the UN would temporarily move to Male, Maldives on June 27th. On the next day, the remaining UN member states would gather in Male and reestablish many UN agencies in the city. The Maldivian government allowed the UN to comandeer several buildings and venues in the area, including the Dharabaaruge Convention Center, Maldives National Museum, Hotel Jen Male, and other iconic areas of the city to operate out of.
July 27th and 28th would also see the UN approve several historic motions authorizing the deployment of emergency aid workers, peacekeepers, and other officials to areas impacted or affected by nuclear strikes. On July 1st, the UN voted to approve a motion to grant the General Secretary emergency powers in handling international matters.
By July, a number of nations including India, Bangladesh, Australia, and others had committed or announced plans to commit national troops to the UN Peacekeepers, but General Secretary Guterres and the General Assembly agreed that the UN needed a more stable source of manpower to make a genuine impact in afflicted regions, as most nations were struggling with their own post-war issues. On July 9, the General Assembly voted 86-45 to create a standing full time UN Peacekeeping force.

While all this was happening, The United States under President Donald Trump was working to handle the many crises presenting themselves in the wake of the global fallout (literal and metaphorical) from the war. Trump repeatedly called out the UN, questioning its right to exist. Trump would call the UN "illegal and defunct" on Twitter and fully remove the United States from the organization. This triggered a wave of departures from the UN, with many nations seeing it as having failed in its primary goal: prevent nuclear war.
On July 21, General Secretary Guterres signed the Reclamation Declaration, a motion signed by 103 of the UN's remaining 141 member states, that gave the UN the authority to establish Trust Territories. Trust Territories are areas directly governed and administered by the United Nations. Such administrations existed prior to 2017, but never on the scale that Guterres and the UN were planning.
The Establishment of Trust Territories[]
The Reclamation Declaration, officially the Resolution for the Establishment of United Nations Peace and Rehabilitation Trust Territories, established guidelines and procedures for the establishment of UN-run governments and administrations in areas without proper governance. This was controversial, and caused what is known as the Mass Exodus, in which over 2 dozen UN member states left the organization. Despite the loss of most of its powerful members, including those that survived the War of 2017, the UN's power and ability to make change dramatically increased following the Reclamation Order and establishment of the UN Peacekeeping Corps.

The establishment of these trust territories would bring the UN Peacekeeping Corps in direct conflict with different gangs and warlords. The first UN administered zone established was in the West Indies, an area that was heavily damaged by the war. The West Indies, however, were easily accessable, which proved instrumental in funneling in aid to the new government.
The second UN administered zone would be established in Northern Ireland at the request of the Republic of Ireland. The major success in stabilizing the region and halting violence would greatly improve the UN's reputation for its ability to enact change in the post-war world.
The UN-US War[]
The establishment of these zones would quickly bring the UN into conflict with other nation-states. When the United States refused the UN access to Canada through its borders, the UN landed peacekeepers in the Saint Lawrence River. US President Donald Trump called the landings a “complete violation of US sovereignty” and accused the UN of overstepping its bounds. US troops were already deployed nearby to assist local refugees. Trump ordered these military units to divert toward the Quebec ruins to try and halt the UN Peacekeepers and turn them around.
President Trump demanded that General Secretary Guterres halt all UN operations, militaristic or otherwise, in Canada or face "immediate consequences." Guterres attempted to negotiate, but Guterres believed there was a lack of action to assist Canadian refugees by the US government. Guterres called the United Nations Assistance Mission for Peace and Administration in Canada (UNAMPAC) a "moral imperative," especially considering that Canada was a much easier area to funnel aid into than Europe or Russia.
The American public had grown disillusioned with the UN due to its' perceived increasingly anti-American stances. Even politicians and voters opposed to Trump were also opposed to much of the UN's Peacekeeping Operations in North America. This is in part due to the Bay of Fundy Incident, in which a UN patrol fleet carrying Peacekeepers meant to be bound for Nova Scotia, Canada drifted into American waters. US sources say that UN troops refused commands to halt, warning shots were supposedly fired by the US Navy which was responded to by direct attack from the UN boats. The UN claims that it halted and began to turn around to depart American waters, but were fired upon, they then opened fire out of self defense. 1 UN ship was sunk, 13 UN Peacekeepers were killed. 9 US sailors were killed.
On 6 March 2018 US President Trump ordered drone strikes against any UN Peacekeeping force within 200 miles of the border. This came 13 hours after Trump issued a 24-hour ultimatum to the UN to depart Canada. UN troops showed no sign of retreating, and General Secretary Guterres called Trump the "Hitler of our time" and the United States a "dying empire."
Following these comments, Trump ordered US troops to enter areas of Canada under UN Administration. The following conflict would last for nearly 4 months. Most combat would in rural areas and over infrastructure like highways. There were several key battles in urban ruins, such as the Battle of Quebec City and the Battle of Vancouver. Many areas of Canada which had survived total decimation following the War of 2017 were destroyed less than a year later during the UN-US War. The war turned the United States into an international pariah. 11 countries withdrew from the UN during the war, but 7 of these would rejoin in the years since.
By June, UN troops were making significant progress against the US in certain areas of Canada. President Trump, fearing the humiliation of losing to the United Nations, issued executive orders banning the press from reporting negatively on the war. This failed, however, and CNN ran multiple stories exposing the US military's shortcomings. This led to the shutdown of CNN.

It was the 11th of June when President Trump ordered the Great Nuclear Bombardment, 10 nuclear strikes along a line in Central Canada against UN fortifications and UN infrastructure. It was the third time nuclear weapons have ever been used in combat. The strikes killed approximately 10,000 to 20,000 UN troops, 250-500 US troops, and anywhere from 12,000 to 27,000 Canadian civilians. The blasts also halted the UN, destroying the supply lines and infrastructure needed to continue its advance, essentially turning central Canada into an impassable nuclear tundra.
On June 14th, nearly a full year following the outbreak of the War of 2017, the UN would withdraw from Southern Canada past the line of irradiated areas made by the bombardment. The UN would establish the Central Canada Demilitarized Zone on July 2nd, ordering the evacuation of most of its' civilians.
Trust Territories[]
UN Administered Zone: Areas under complete control of the United Nations. Local leaders are usually either appointed by the UN directly or chosen in a tightly guarded UN-sponsored provisional elections. Local UN agencies are responsible for all or most government services
UN Protectorate: Usually a weak or undeveloped provisional government that still requires major UN assistance to operate.
UN Collaborator: Usually a UN-backed nation that, while technically capable of providing for itself without heavy UN involvement, requests that UN troops and officials remain to help lead the nation
UN Client State: Usually a nation that has mostly or entirely taken over its own civil government, but relies on the UN for military assistance. Also possible that a nation wishes to remain a permanent UN-governed zone.
UN Hazard Zones: Areas that the UN has banned or strongly advised people from entering, usually due to radiation. There is no government in these areas and the UN has generally very little actual ability to operate and is unable to force people from not entering these areas.
There are also UN military zones under direct control of the UN Peacekeeper Corps. These areas are usually areas captured by UN Peacekeepers before civil administration can be fully established.

Structure[]
The United Nations has 2 primary decision-making bodies. The General Assembly, a parliament of member states that votes on motions and actions, and the Security Council, a group of nations predetermined to represent different regions of the world. The Security Council features 5 permanent members, all with veto power. These permanent members are currently Brazil, Australia, India, Japan, and South Africa. The 5 permanent members of the UN were the United States, Russia, (formerly the Soviet Union) France, the United Kingdom, and China. After the War of 2017, Russia, France, and the UK were effectively eliminated as great powers on the international stage. Within a year following, both the United States and China would depart the UN, leaving no remaining permanent members.
