UNIA, or the United Nations Information Agency, is an organization of professional statisticians, pollsters, and policy analysts that help craft, market and analyze United Nations proposals and resolutions. It is best known for accurate early predictions of the results of U.N. resolutions at vote.

The organization receives all of its funding from the Independent Council for International Advocacy (ICIA), a non-partisan think tank in Pilot. It succeeded the Pilot United Nations News Service and the Alliance for Reform and Values in the NationStates United Nations.
