UN

    The United Nations (UN) (.org) is the only place where all nations have to get together and talk without killing each other. Well ok mostly without.

    The flag of the United Nations sports their signature light blue colour.

    There are several reasons Consumerium cares about the UN. For one thing, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (w:UNESCO), United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (w:UNHCR) and other organizations within the UN have information we can mostly trust and that we want in our content wiki. The UN has as close as we can really get to a neutral point of view on some questions.

    Finally, if there is ever world government, Consumerium Services will surely be either the biggest challenge to it, or the biggest part of it. This should start with safe trade standards and move on to at least elimination of ape genocide and slavery (both already illegal, not economically or politically necessary anywhere).
