About UNA-Listeneisse

UNA-Listeneisse is a national chapter of the United Nations Association (UNA), founded in September 2005, in response to the growing interest and engagement of the Kingdom of Listeneisse in UN and global affairs.

The United Nations Association (UNA) is a non-profit non-governmental organization (NGO) that supports the work of the United Nations and encourages active participation in the UN and its various programs. The UNA is one of NationStates' leading centers of UN policy research. The organization also focuses on outreach programs geared at promoting the image of the UN.

Chapter House

UNA-Listeneisse is located in a converted tower of the king's own residence of Castle Carbonek with an overlooking vista of the Palace of Adventures located within the castle's vast and ancient walls.

The historical Postern Tower on its exterior side guards the cliffs above the Lion's Gate section the capital city, and has a panoramic rooftop view, especially featuring the riverside.

The Postern Tower once indeed housed a small chapter of the Knights of the Temple of the Holy Grail, but they were moved centuries ago to far larger quarters elsewhere in Castle Carbonek.
