Wasty: The U.A.N. is the United Animalian Nations. It was founded around the same time as our own U.N., in response to the content-wide issue that was the Great Rodent Expulsion, or Exile. As I've mentioned previously, while WWII didn't happen, the Rodent Exile was fairly close to a similar dilemma in terms of mammalian morality and tragedy, albeit around a much more morally grey situation. After various Roaropean nations had adopted laws that deeply discriminated against mice, and Germammy outright expelled them (and may have rounded up and killed many), it was decided that the nations or Roarope, which would quickly expand to the world, needed to have some say in what was going on in their neighbor's countries, at least when it came to what could directly affect others.
It wasn't entirely an Altruistic Mammaltarian perspective that led to the formation of the UAN. Some countries were simply worried about being overrun with another nation's 'trash'. But others were concerned about the rise of Specisim the rodent plague had caused, and were devoted to finding a solution to the issue of rodent overpopulation and disease vectors that didn't involve the extinction of entire species of sentient mammals. While there wasn't a clean solution, thanks to the UAN, it did help stabilize the region for a time, and kept Germammy from taking matters into its own hooves and marching into every country in Roarope to deal with the problem 'thier way'.
To this day the status of Rodents in Roarope is still precarious, with certain nations still having 'two child' policies or outright bans on any mammal classified as a rodent which led to the creation of several rodent-exclusive countries. And the problem is starting to show itself in North Mammalia and Zootopia where birthrates are currently unrestricted. For now, though, things are still uneasily balanced, largely in part due to the UAN keeping their thumb on the scales.
