UN Rankings actually have almost nothing to do with the United Nations. They supposedly reflect the ranking scores noted by travelling UN inspectors who rate national statistics in various areas, and then scale them by region and across the whole game.
Rankings are found on every region page under the heading, Today's United Nations Report. They take the form of The [ranking] in [Region], followed by a standard [Description line]. The same report is generated worldwide, with the top line replaced with The [ranking] in the World
Many players take pride in their regional or worldwide rankings, and strive to answer issues and support UN resolutions that move them closer to the top ... or bottom ... of different ranking categories.
