The United Nations headquarters (Known simply as the United Nations by the Little Einsteins; often shortened as the U.N.) is a building location in New York. It only appeared in the special episode, Our HUGE Adventure in unedited version, and its TV airing version, The Missing Invitation.
The Little Einsteins went to the UN headquarters to find the second mail for the butterfly invitation, and stop all of the Butterfly World Leaders of their violence, arguing and fighting.
The United Nations is headquartered in New York City in a complex designed by a board of architects led by Wallace Harrison and built by the architectural firm Harrison & Abramovitz. The complex has served as the official headquarters of the United Nations since its completion in 1951. It is in the Turtle Bay neighborhood of Manhattan, on 17 to 18 acres (6.9 to 7.3 ha) of grounds overlooking the East River. Its borders are First Avenue on the west, East 42nd Street to the south, East 48th Street on the north, and the East River to the east. The term Turtle Bay is occasionally used as a metonym for the UN headquarters or for the United Nations as a whole.
The headquarters holds the seats of the principal organs of the UN, including the General Assembly and the Security Council, but excluding the International Court of Justice, which is seated in the Hague. The United Nations has three additional subsidiary regional headquarters, or headquarters districts. These were opened in Geneva (Switzerland) in 1946, Vienna (Austria) in 1980, and Nairobi (Kenya) in 1996. These adjunct offices help represent UN interests, facilitate diplomatic activities, and enjoy certain extraterritorial privileges, but do not contain the seats of major organs.
Although it is in New York City, the land occupied by the United Nations Headquarters and the spaces of buildings that it rents are under the sole administration of the United Nations and not the U.S. government. They are technically extraterritorial through a treaty agreement with the U.S. government. However, in exchange for local police, fire protection, and other services, the United Nations agrees to acknowledge most local, state, and federal laws.
None of the United Nations' 15 specialized agencies (such as UNESCO) are located at the headquarters. However, some "autonomous subsidiary organs", such as UNICEF, have their headquarters at the UNHQ.
The United Nations currently has 195 recognized countries, 193 as U.N. countries, and 2 are observer states (Palestine and Vatican City/Holy See).

The flag of East Germany can be seen flying among other country flags as seen in stock footage of the UN Headquarters in 1989 used in Our HUGE Adventure/The Missing Invitation, despite the country ceasing to exist in October 3, 1990 due to being reunited with West Germany and after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
On the other hand, the old flags of Ethiopia and Libya can also be seen in some scenes.
