With 207 associations affiliated to FIFA today, world football’s governing body has rightly been dubbed the "United Nations of Football ". Between 1975 and 2002 alone, more than 60 associations were accepted as members. \n\nFIFA supports the associations financially and logistically through various programmes and grants them a number of attractive rights and privileges. But they also have obligations. As representatives of FIFA in their countries, they must respect the statutes, aims and ideals of football’s governing body and promote and manage our sport accordingly.

There are 25, though as of 1st January there will be 27 when Romania and Bulgaria join.  This is the maximum there can be until some sort of treaty is formed.  Other possible entries in the future are Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Macedonia, Albania, Turkey and Ukraine.  Interesting fact, Morocco tried to join, but they were told that they weren't European.

"why was Canada involved in the commonwealth?"\nCanada was and is still involved in the commonwealth because it was invaded largely by the British Empire (back when there was one). Our continued involvement in this antiquated system mystifies myself and many of my fellow Canadians.\n\n"When was the United Nations formed and why was it created?"\nThe United Nations was formed in 1945 to ensure a way to peacefully resolve disputes so we don't get powder keg situations like what started WWI and WWII. It hasn't exactly worked out but it seemed like a good idea at the time.

The U.N. stands for United Nations.\n\nThis is a replacement for The League of Nations which was an international organization founded after the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. The League's goals included disarmament; preventing war through collective security; settling disputes between countries through negotiation diplomacy; and improving global welfare. The diplomatic philosophy behind the League represented a fundamental shift in thought from the preceding hundred years. The old philosophy, growing out of the Congress of Vienna (1815), saw Europe as a shifting map of alliances among nation-states, creating a balance of power maintained by strong armies and secret agreements. Under the new philosophy, the League was a government of governments, with the role of settling disputes between individual nations in an open and legalist forum. The impetus for the founding of the League came from Democratic U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, though the United States never joined the League of Nations.\n\nThe League lacked an armed force of its own and so depended on the Great Powers to enforce its resolutions, which they were often very reluctant to do. After a number of notable successes and some early failures, the League ultimately proved incapable of preventing aggression by the Axis Powers in the 1930s. The onset of the Second World War made it clear that the League had failed in its primary purpose—to avoid any future world war. The United Nations replaced it after World War II and inherited a number of agencies and organizations founded by the League.\n\nThe United Nations (UN) is an international organization that describes itself as a "global association of governments facilitating co-operation in international law, international security, economic development, and social equity." It was founded in 1945 by 51 states, replacing The League of Nations which was founded in 1919.\n\nAs of 2006 there exist 191 United Nations member states, including virtually all internationally recognised independent nations, except Vatican City (the Holy See) (which has declined membership but is an observer state), Palestine (whose status is still one of a de facto state, and has not yet legally declared statehood), Niue (whose foreign affairs are dealt with by the New Zealand Government) and Taiwan, which has not been internationally recognised as independent or as the Republic of China (whose status as a member state was transferred to the People's Republic of China in 1971). Palestine and the Holy See both have Permanent Observer Missions to the UN.\n\nFrom its headquarters in New York City, the UN's member countries and specialised agencies give guidance and decide on substantive and administrative issues in regular meetings held throughout each year. The organisation is divided into administrative bodies, including the UN General Assembly, UN Security Council, UN Economic and Social Council, UN Trusteeship Council, UN Secretariat, and the International Court of Justice, as well as counterpart bodies dealing with the governance of all other UN system agencies, such as the WHO and UNICEF. The UN's most visible public figure is the Secretary-General.\n\nThe UN was founded after the end of World War II by the victorious world powers with the hope that it would act to prevent conflicts between nations and make future wars impossible, by fostering an ideal of collective security. The organization's structure still reflects in some ways the circumstances of its founding. For example, the five main victors of World War II are the Security Council permanent members with veto power: The United States of America, the Soviet Union (which was replaced by Russia), the United Kingdom, France, and the Republic of China (later replaced by the People's Republic of China). Writer Alistair Cooke suggested in one of his "Letter from America" radio programmes that Stalin had in fact come up with the idea of the present

The United Nations was the brainchild of Woodrow Wilson. The initial attempt to form a world body came with the League of Nations at the end of World War I. However, the US Senate did not ratify the League of Nations Treaty and never became a member.\n\nFDR revived the idea for a world community at the Tehran Conference in while meeting with Churchill and Stalin to discuss strategy against Germany. Roosevelt is, indeed, responsbile for naming the United Nations. Sadly, he did before he could see it come to fruition.

The UN is a toy for the rich countries that keep it in existence.  Without funding from the US, the UN would be even less viable than it is now.  Do you have an example of this toying or is it just your impression?
