The '''United Nations''' of 2015 does not have the same nature as it did before [[Second Impact]] in 2000.  Following the global ecological disaster and subsequent political upheaval, internal reorganizations made the UN heavily militarized, and it now actively deploys military forces across the globe. The militias of both the Western and Eastern power blocs were put under the UN's direct command after Second Impact.  [[Nerv]] is officially a special agency under the UN's control.  Secretly, the UN is controlled by the global power cabal maintained by the [[Seele]] organization.
The '''United Nations''' features in Neon Genesis Evangelion but its powers and functioning appear to be significantly different and expanded from its real-life counterpart. Many of the details regarding the functioning of the UN within the universe of Neon Genesis Evangelion are not made explicit, and must be extrapolated from supplemental sources such as the [[Classified Information]] in addition to those inferred within the show itself.


Officially, Nerv is "a private organization under the direct supervision of the UN," and under the aegis of the United Nations, it is granted power to pressure local civilian and military organizations into aiding it. However, in reality, Nerv has very little oversight from the United Nations itself (beyond matters of funding), and Nerv in fact tends to dominate the conventional UN military forces (and associated local military forces such as the [[Japanese Strategic Self Defense Force|JSSDF]]).  Indeed, in [[Episode 08]] the UN Pacific Fleet's commanding officer openly lamented that the UN's forces had become a "delivery service," for Nerv.
[[Nerv]] ostensibly functions as a special agency under the UN. The [[Human Instrumentality Committee]], although formed of high-ranking [[Seele]] members, is ostensibly a small council within the United Nations. Although it is evident on numerous occasions that Seele has great influence within the UN, the full extent and nature of the relationship between both organizations is never made explicit.  


In [[Episode 14]], it was stated that one third of the UN Pacific naval fleet which was escorting Eva Unit 02 to Japan was destroyed in the battle with the Angel [[Gaghiel]].
Unlike in the real world, the UN in Evangelion appears to hold direct control over military forces. The fleet seen in [[Episode 08]] is referred to as though it was under direct UN control rather than, as in real life, being a collection of vessels from the individual member nations' navies.


A newspaper from 2002, seen in [[Episode 21]], announces "UN moves headquarters to Japan in 5 years:  Candidate City is Tokyo-2."  Thus, it would seem that due to the chaos caused by Second Impact, UN headquarters was moved from New York City to Tokyo-2.

The United Nations features in Neon Genesis Evangelion but its powers and functioning appear to be significantly different and expanded from its real-life counterpart. Many of the details regarding the functioning of the UN within the universe of Neon Genesis Evangelion are not made explicit, and must be extrapolated from supplemental sources such as the Classified Information in addition to those inferred within the show itself.

Nerv ostensibly functions as a special agency under the UN. The Human Instrumentality Committee, although formed of high-ranking Seele members, is ostensibly a small council within the United Nations. Although it is evident on numerous occasions that Seele has great influence within the UN, the full extent and nature of the relationship between both organizations is never made explicit.

Unlike in the real world, the UN in Evangelion appears to hold direct control over military forces. The fleet seen in Episode 08 is referred to as though it was under direct UN control rather than, as in real life, being a collection of vessels from the individual member nations' navies.

A newspaper from 2002, seen in Episode 21, announces "UN moves headquarters to Japan in 5 years: Candidate City is Tokyo-2." Thus, it would seem that due to the chaos caused by Second Impact, UN headquarters was moved from New York City to Tokyo-2. [Source needed]
