The United Ŋations Office for Cartography (OfC) is an office of the United Ŋations whose job is keeping a political map of Nguhcraft up-to-date. The release date at the top left of the map was based on Central European Time. The first and current UŊ cartographer is Marcy Sheikah, who has created the first ever political maps of Nguhcraft before quitting due to technical limitations on 24 April 2024. Since then Ætérnal had been maintaining the primary map of Nguhcraft until 5 December 2024. Having created the participation map for the Nguhrovision Song Contest 2024, Sheikah returned to create of similar, more minimalist recent political maps of Nguhcraft. Zendrid also works for the office, having created the locator maps for this Wiki.

The first post-raid attempt at a political map of Nguhcraft was the Big Map made by self-proclaimed Map Nerd and Quing of Kyaw Cen Marcy I on 2 January 2024, one month before the founding of the UŊ. Marcy Sheikah was the first person to maintain the UŊ Official Map when the United Ŋations Office for Cartography was later established. However, she de facto resigned on 24 April 2024 due to her computer having problems editing the map since it is so large, and Ætérnal has been maintaining the map until 2025, when Sheikah returned to making political maps of Nguhcraft.

The United Ŋations geoscheme suggested by Marcy Sheikah on 06 May 2024 divides the world into 11 superŋational regions (or continents). Most names of those continents are only supposed to be temporary: On 23 January 2025, the continent of Cornertopia was divided in two halves, Tardigradia and Aŋtarctica, changing the number of continents to 12.
