How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
The Civilization Committee building is a slab-like office tower and assembly hall on Algonquin's east side, home to a parody of the UN.
The real place
The UN Headquarters was completed in 1952 beside the East River in Turtle Bay. The game copies the Secretariat tower and the General Assembly building and pokes fun at the UN's reputation for achieving little.
Visiting
Guided tours run on weekdays. Book online in advance and bring photo ID for the security check on First Avenue.
