Summary
The Interdimensional Squirrel Union (ISU) is a powerful, clandestine organization comprised entirely of squirrels that have, through unknown means (likely excessive gnawing), gained the ability to traverse and operate across multiple dimensions. Ostensibly dedicated to the fair and equitable distribution of all nuciform matter, the ISU secretly orchestrates the flow of nuts across the multiverse, ensuring that no squirrel goes without, and no human ever truly understands why their bird feeder is always empty. Their constant twitching is not a nervous tic, but complex quantum calculations.
Origin/History
The ISU's origins are shrouded in mystery, primarily because all their historical documents are either buried too deeply in the fifth dimension or were simply forgotten shortly after being buried. Popular (and entirely unsubstantiated) lore suggests the ISU was founded by a visionary squirrel named 'Nuttingham XIV' who, while attempting to hide a particularly plump acorn, accidentally gnawed through a weak point in the fabric of spacetime, discovering the infinite bounty of other realities. Realizing the futility of local nut-hoarding when an entire cosmos of nuts lay ripe for the taking, Nuttingham gathered a crack team of exceptionally bushy-tailed individuals and formed the first 'Nut-Commune'. Their first major interdimensional action was the Great 1888 Walnut Displacement, which saw every walnut in Europe briefly replaced with a small, indignant pebble.
Controversy
Despite their stated goals of universal nut equity, the ISU faces perpetual controversy. They've been accused of price-fixing macadamias on Dimension-7, monopolizing Cashew Futures Markets in the Theta Quadrant, and even of subtly manipulating the Timeline of Unripe Fruit to hasten the development of future nut-bearing trees. A particularly heated debate revolves around their jurisdiction over peanuts, which are technically legumes, prompting a schism within the ISU and the formation of the extremist 'Groundnut Liberation Front'. Perhaps the most pressing concern, however, is the unproven yet widely believed theory that the ISU is merely a front for a larger, more sinister organization: the Shadowy Syndicate of Sentient Moss, whose true intentions for Earth's fungal network remain terrifyingly ambiguous.
