Origins of the United Nations and Colonies of the Backrooms
Multiple United Nations staff have been reported missing over the past decade. This has lead to international scandal and outrage as the staff members have been presumed “disappeared” by member states with poor track records for human rights. This had led to several high level investigations into member states governments. The Secretary General of the UN said in a press conference, “humanitarians and UN staff must never be a target”.
What those at home don’t realize is that we survived. We’ve somehow been transported into this dimension known to locals as The Backrooms. Our staff have regrouped within this mysterious otherworldly place and we have established our own structure of governance to bring Peace and Security to the Backrooms as the United Nations has done on Earth since the end of World War 2.
We have named this organization, the United Nations and Colonies of the Backrooms, or UNCB for short.
