Note
Each letter is spoken separately, U-N, because this is an initialism rather than an acronym like NATO, which is said as a word. It takes singular agreement and usually the definite article: the UN has voted. The organization behind it was founded in 1945 and is headquartered in New York City. United Nations was also a historical name for the Allies of World War II, the countries fighting the Axis Powers.
