Some players employ a UN puppet nation to avoid having the sometimes deleterious effects of UN resolutions damage a long-established roleplaying nation. This gives them the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of UN membership without damaging their "name" nation. This policy may be adopted through roleplay, with a government designating a tiny area of its own territory as "sovereign" and confering UN membership on that area. One such example is the Extraterritorial Sovereign Ariddian Territory.

Other invaders and defenders will keep a handy supply of puppet nations standing by in potential invasion regions, and can accept membership into the UN on a moment's notice. This sort of technical gameplaying allows a player to act as a native without having to move a known defender/invader nation into a contested region.

UN puppet owners must take care to keep their puppet activites coordinated, lest they accidentally find themselves in a UN Multiing situation, and find themselves ejected from the UN or even the game.
