Disclaimer Contrary to its IC claims, Sovereign UN territory does not have any actual power. Its influence on the United Nations is limited to what its few endorsements allow it to do, and its players ability to influence UN stats is unextant (Due to him not answering any issues). Sovereign UN Territory is in no way intended to pose as a virulently unfunny Game Moderator, nor does its claim to occupy the position of the United Nations Secretary General have any kind of effect on the NSUN, apart from roleplay possibilities when interacting with those few who recognise these outrageous and not exactly serious claims from an IC point of view.

Geography
Major Base (UN Headquarters)
The UN Headquarters serve as Sovereign UN Territory's main base of operations. Including a few dozen hotels (As well as various football stadiums, parkings, several shopping malls, a Disneyland etc.) to satisfy the needs of slightly more than a million delegates from nations throughout the multiverse. The UN Headquarters are located at the equator, and there are plans to establish an orbital base of operations right on top of them, in the form of a ludicrously oversized space station (However, so far, the inability of the UN to collect taxes from its memberstates prevents such an ambitious construction).
Considering the UN Headquarters' location, it isn't all that surprising that the climate is quite tropical, resulting in temperatures around 25- 30°C throughout the year. Of course, the location comes with occasional troubles, and the Delagates from throughout the universe do occasionally have to flee said troubles, be they termites, giant (And hungry) ants, hurricanes or ebola.
Minor Bases
There are actually quite a few minor bases scattered throughout the world, all of them under the ultimnate control of Catherine Gratwick. Locations vary, as they can be found at the poles as well as in tropical areas, allowing for a wide array of different designs.
Bases are usually built in areas that are hard to reach, be they inactive volcanoes (This option proved to be somewhat risky, though, as some volcanoes tend to end their inactive periods in rather sudden, and (for the base inhabitants) not at all enjoyable ways), abandoned missile silos, Megalopolis sewers (Nothing for the faint of heart!) or the remains of the Underwater Bubble.
Economy
Sovereign UN Territory's economy is based on nothing but the funding it receives from UN membernations. Given that the UN cannot collect taxes from its membernations, Sovereign UN Territory's economy is reasonably shattered and based on voluntary donations from UN membernations, which are, like all donations, kinda rare. This easily explains the disastrous state of most of SUNT's installations (Barring the actual headquarters). However, there are exceptions, and R
