There's only one word for the Federal Republic's policy on UN affairs: fucking awesome!! OK, that's two words. Whatever.

Kenny UN Delegation
- Jack Riley, Ambassador to the United Nations: The Federal Republic's main voice in the General Assembly, Riley is known for his harsh rhetoric, enduring hatred for the United Nations and its sneaky gnome enforcers, and as a chief proponent of sovereigntist policy on the UN floor. An author several repeal proposals (only one of which passed), Riley was also the chief supporter of Abortion Legality Convention (which the Federal Republic co-sponsored) and the leader of the opposition to Freedom of Conscience. Though criticized, even lampooned, of late for a series of paranoid rants he's delivered on the floor [1] [2] [3] -- and for resorting to insane stunts like kidnapping the Kawaiian nuncio [4] -- Riley also formulated the Federal Republic's policy of "real internationalism" and is the father of the "Kenny-style FAQ" for UN proposals at vote.
- George Brown, Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations: An infrequent presence on the UN floor, this ill-mannered oaf is Riley's stand-in. Though not well-versed in diplomacy or international affairs, Brown is expected to read off State Department talking points (or lip-synch to Riley's recorded voice [5]) when the senior ambassador can't make it to a floor debate.
- Alex Tehrani, Secretary of State: Though UN affairs fall under the State Department's jurisdiction, Riley as UN ambassador has his own cabinet seat, and Tehrani grants him a great deal of autonomy to act as speaker for the government at the world body. Tehrani does step in to represent the Federal Republic from time to time, mostly during votes on major UN legislation. Easily the most diplomatic of OMGTKK's contingent, Tehrani's role as chief adviser to President Fernanda makes his voice especially credible, as he is widely regarded as speaking directly for the president.
- Manuelo Fernanda, President of the Federal Republic: Though he professes to be bored by UN "bullshit," the president occasionally shows up at UN Headquarters (mostly to pick up ladies at the Strangers' Bar), during several such visits giving his own opinion on whatever bill happens to be at vote -- employing his own uniquely profane, brutish, at times intoxicated, or even threatening, style. [6] [7] [8] In his dealings with the UN, Fernanda has also attacked ambassadors with pea-shooters and Super Soakers, threatened to bomb UNHQ [9], smoked out right in the middle of a General Assembly meeting [10], and brawled in the Strangers' Bar [11].
- Antigone Morgan, Vice President of the Federal Republic: Morgan's dealings at the United Nations have been rare, though she has more than once been virtually prostituted in order to win over delegates' support on key legislation. [12]
