I'm not sure there is such a thing. But I do agree with @Ramble that we should be focusing on our deeds, not our words. We have done good, better than our bigger older neighbors, and we would like to keep doing good (having the UN vet our safe zone and doing peacekeeping missions for them).
I'm a bit busy today but later tonight I could try to write up something specific if it's still open.

It seems that many of the missions you engage in here have similar aims, and we would be pleased to work with the UN under such circumstances.
-[X]Of course, we are also available to hear the pleas of individual nations. As for my nation, I simply ask that you keep watching, as we demonstrate we are just as I have claimed.
-[X]Thank you all for your time."
I'm not sure this is the right formatting for paragraphs in a plan but I trust the QM to figure it out. If anyone wants to offer tweaks or critique on this feel free. For now I'm going to bed.

How would this even work? Like, the UN isn't really its own faction so much as a place where all the actual factions come to argue about stuff, right?
They players actions are all about keeping the big 5 happy and keeping the general assembly from turning into a laughingstock/bloodbath.

Interlude The UN Speech:
You took a breath and focused on not only the words in your head and in front of you. But of the many numerous faces that were among this place. This hallowed place of diplomacy, of compromise. You would also call it a farce, but the Soviets had already done that back in the 50s when they left and almost immediately helped start a war in Korea. Good times, and you almost wished you were born back in the 30s to fight for whoever paid you the most. Probably the Russians, but you did not rule out the Americans.
However, despite all that, you were happy. You were happy, that in a moment, some people would listen. And others would denounce you. But you had a captive audience, the entire world.
Though you also knew for a fact that after your homeland had made a mockery of the United States Navy, despite the literal act of God that occurred on that aircraft carrier. You knew it scared the shit out of everyone, but it also prevented everyone from really caring about your little escapades in Africa. After all, with that shit happening, you wouldn't be surprised that they would think your homeland was hiding giant robots or some evil laser shit.
Eh, you didn't really pay attention, maybe they were just drunk when they made up their statement.
"Good morning everyone, it is an honor to be invited to speak to you today." You decided to speak English because at the moment, you were speaking to the West, and your Russian was terrible. "I'm sure most of you have heard of my ambitions for my nation, so I will not waste your time repeating myself."
There was silence, as everyone seemed to look at you, who stood before them. A Crazy woman who was deciding to play dictator. But at least you knew you weren't insane, and you were going to prove it. And also laugh in their face when they argue if you were lying or not. "Instead I will tell you what we have done since then. We have fed and housed our people, organized our mercenary corps into companies, and set up light industry so that we have something to offer our neighbors even in times of peace."
There was murmuring, before you rolled your eyes, and smiled as you face the delegations from Africa, your new compatriots, who may soon join you in this wonderful game of politics, and life. "This, sadly, is not such a time. Our neighbors have both ended up in three-way civil wars, and we have taken advantage of our relative stability to set up refugee camps for civilians displaced by the conflict."
You saw the Egyptian and Sudanese delegations stare bullets at you, and you shrugged them off like they were actually bullets from their nations, ineffective and poorly used. "If you doubt my claims feel free to send your people by for a tour. In fact, even if you do trust me we'd like to welcome a delegation to have a look around. I'll be the first to admit that refugee camps are not a specialty of mine, and your experience in such matters could stand to improve our operation for the people we're trying to help."
That declaration made the murmuring increase, as the Delegations from many neutral nations, and your new friend in Costa Rica, nod approvingly. The Irish delegation was very surprised that your statement was made.
But many of the Eastern nations, the Soviets, in particular, were unhappy with such proclamations, especially when it came from an upjumped mercenary.
Mostly because they had backed the wrong horse when trying to take over the region. "Still, I can't imagine we've done such a bad job that it warranted the attack on our Egyptian camp from the Egyptian government. Your people are there freely and are free to rejoin Egyptian society at any time they wish. I applaud the Sudanese government for not making the same mistake, despite sharing Egypt's misplaced misgivings. It is unfortunate that we were forced to engage in hostilities while trying to keep the peace, but we do not fuck around when it comes to the lives of our people, or those under our care."
If that man was armed, you were sure the Egyptian Delegate would have tried to shoot you. But again, you were sure he would miss because if their army was anything to go by, he would not know how to use his firearm properly. And attack an unarmed woman.
"And what of your nation's illegal actions within the State of Zimbabwe?" The General Secretary asked, interrupting you.
You frowned. "As to the matter of Rhodesia, I was in a difficult position. Both sides sought to create racist tiered societies, and my employers wanted me dead. Thankfully I was able to depose both dictators, and Zimbabwe-Rhodesia has elected Mr. Muzorewa as its first president. The Elections which might I add had been overseen by neutral overseers from Botswana and Kenya. They considered the elections, despite the chaos, to be legitimate."
"I doubt I will always have the freedom to follow my conscience in the middle of a warzone, but I will always try. It seems that many of the missions you engage in here have similar aims, and we would be pleased to work with the UN under such circumstances. For our fee of course, for we are not soldiers of the State, but free men who have found a home."
You paused and finally found the flourish to finish. "Of course, we are also available to hear the pleas of individual nations. As for my nation, I simply ask that you keep watching, as we demonstrate we are just as I have claimed."
"We are a nation outside of Heaven. That means that despite our pettiness, and our wish for-profit and coin, we are not wishing to destroy nations, or invade them, not without ever possible avenue taken to prevent it."
You ended with a smile. "Thank you all for your time. We're open for business."

You got your response immediately.
Well a few days later, over half the nations on earth, recognized you as a free and independent country.
You looked at the interesting fact and then smiled. "So… I have a question for you? How much is the UN willing to pay for my services?"
"A great deal." the secretary-general stated. "The Eyes of the world are upon you, even if your homeland refuses to take it."
"Well, tell the Ambassador I said hi, and tell his Gloriousleadnerless… that I am for hire, for a price of course."
Reward: Half the nations on earth recognize you.
Bad things are coming your way.
Mercenaries from all over the planet will heed the call.

Certified Zhukov Moment...LETS GO!!
Well if we can hold these guys off then it would be so humiliating that the people will revolt
I am pretty sure the US is looking at the situation. Sees half the world gearing up to try and crush us, and decides we are the safe bet if the history of both Guangchou and Li Mia are anything to go by.Uh, hey @HeroCooky can I post this as an omake on your thread too, just to see what happens when their fellow countrymen decide to get bored and give everyone more reason to just... be afraid of that country?
"Are you SURE you want to back this tiny micronation that decided to take on pretty much everyone important in their area???"
"HELL YESS!"
We might even cause World War 3 over this
Well, looks like the only major power that isn't involving themselves directly yet is the US and NATO it seems like. But other than that, we have like 90% of the communist power descending on our head. Not counting Guangchou of course!!

WEll I don't thing the world would like us taking territory from a soverign nation.
The land we took was pretty much abandoned by nations, so we're okay.
Doubtful, cause if they really decide to ship people to us, we're fucked.
Well, say what about the united states, but they never really make good decisions until they really need to.I am pretty sure the US is looking at the situation. Sees half the world gearing up to try and crush us, and decides we are the safe bet if the history of both Guangchou and Li Mia are anything to go by.
Considering the strategic assets we are about to be revealed to you?
Their gamble is very well warrented.
Like cut off the Soviets from one of their main sources of income, gamble.
Not likely, at least yet.
I would think our mother land has bigger things to worry about then sending soldiers on a foreign expedition to foreign lands where they might all die.

So what your saying is that we only angered insignificant countries then. Was a little worried we might anger Guangchou. We never could have survived their overwhelming military power. As it stands I think we're going to be fine.

I mean let's be honest here, once they break out the mechs, we're going to be in big trouble, cause we ain't solid snake.
Or raiden... Or Peace Walker level big boss!
Oh I reckon there will be a lot of people and mercs coming our way to save our bacon, for the simple fact that we are a tax haven, and have a fuck ton of oil.
...So is this the bleep ton of oil we found in the area, or is there something else Russia will really want to secure should they find out about?
And this is probably also the US opinion on the gamble.

Enough Oil to last a few hundred years, and enough water to turn our neck of the desert into grasslands.
Yeah, We can make our desert Green.
I mean, at this point, we're going to win big, or get fucked.And this is probably also the US opinion on the gamble.
There is no middle ground.
Imagine if we take the big nations then on to Russia then the world would be going WTF because we have dice gods in our side
