The United Democratic Nations (UDN) is an intergovernmental organization with the stated aims of promoting democracy, human rights, world peace, and most of all, nuclear non-proliferation. The UDN was founded in 2013 in order to replace what many saw as the failure of the United Nations to both prevent Y2K and nuclear war. At its founding, the UDN had ten members: Central African Republic, Uyghurstan, Ireland, New Zealand, Palestine, the Sahwari Arab Democratic Republic, Sul, Ukraine, the United States, and Zanzibar. The UDN Headquarters resides in international territory in Gaza City.
