United Nations Transitional Authority in New York City

The United Nations Transitional Authority in New York City (UNTANYC) was a United Nations peacekeeping operation in New York City in 2041-2042 formed following the formal dissolution of the New York City Municipal Emergency Government. This was the first occasion in which the UN directly assumed responsibility for the administration of an outright major city (the UN did administer the former Dutch territory of Netherlands New Guinea between 1962-1963 prior and Cambodia between 1991-1992), rather than simply monitoring or supervising the area. The UN transitional authority organised and ran elections, had its own radio station and jail, and was responsible for promoting and safeguarding human rights at the national level.

Participated by all Coalition of the Red Phoenix member states and many UN member states, this period is also in between the NYCMEC's disestablishment and the signing of the Constitution of the Republic of Avalon by Edward John Smith (former captain of the RMS Titanic and only High Captain of the short-lived Titanic Colony, in which it would later be also the first High Captain of the Republic of Avalon).
