It's my own made up story, this story isn't meant to be based on any thing that I
think even *might* happen, The reason for the name was simply because it sounded
kind of neat (IMO), as far as my thinking goes, there doesn't have to be a logical
reason for it, since it's just a silly story, I don't ever think that the middle
eastern countries would band together and turn on the UN, but in my completely make
believe and fictional story, they do.

If you like, I can change the name, (?)
