If people are looking for ways for the UN to have economic powers, or a "nation", ask who controls or owns space now. The geo orbits were only recently broken up into arc owned by governments, and a governments airspace only goes up so far, not all the way into space. The moon isn`t owned by the yanks, even though they were the first ones there. Space is for ALL mankind (although the planets could be open to claim), therefore would be controled or owned by the UN as a neutral party. This could be workable in the future, because nobody could agree on anything else (would the NAC give control of the spacelanes to the ESU?).
