United Nations

The United Nations was an organization created in order to settle international disputes. It comprised many of the world's countries prior to 2052.

Background
In May 2052, the United Nations began to collapse, due to the start of the Resource Wars following the European Commonwealth's military intervention in the Middle East. The oil-rich states of the Middle East had raised crude oil prices to near confiscatory levels in light of the growing global petroleum shortage.

Facing an economic disaster because of European nations' heavy reliance on imported Middle Eastern oil, the European Commonwealth had invaded the Middle East to force its states to lower oil prices or to seize their remaining reserves of petroleum. The United Nations actively tried to restore the peace but ultimately was not successful, disbanding on July 26, 2052. United Nations President Sakugama Okiri made a statement lamenting the events. Its former headquarters in New York City, vacant by the UN, peaked the interest of several organizations, that started the bidding process on the prime real estate shortly thereafter.
