The United Nations Godzilla Countermeasure Center (国連G対策こくれんジーたいさくセンター Kokuren Jī Taisaku Sentā, abbr. U.N.G.C.C.)[a] is a special branch of the United Nations headquartered in Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan which was founded in 1992. It was designed to bring together the most brilliant minds on Earth in order to devise defenses against Godzilla and to explore possible methods of finally killing him. It was notably responsible for the construction of the giant robots Mechagodzilla and MOGUERA, which were Japanese collaborations with the United States and the Soviet Union, respectively.
