(The problem now is that USA doesn't seem to be a single country in 3010, but Robo-Hungary, Japan and other countries meet in NNY for the UN. Oh well.)

Trivia

  • In "Brannigan, Begin Again", Farnsworth says that the DOOP is similar to the United Nations of the 20th century. This suggests that the UN was somehow made extinct sometime between the 20th and 30th century. "The Prisoner of Benda" proves, however, that this never happened.
    • Farnsworth's statement could mean that the UN has simply changed in form or function since the 20th century, rather than that it dissolved entirely.
    • It could be that the Professor's mention of "in your time" isn't a reference to the UN's change or dissolution, but rather it's the Professor's (failed) attempt to get Fry to understand.
    • Perhaps the United Nations was dissolved but began again some time between "Brannigan, Begin Again" and "The Prisoner of Benda".
