The question is, where does the current DBpedia SPARQL end point get
its data from. As you report, the end point says United_Nations is a
Country. But the dump for the DBpedia 3.7 type information contains
United_Nations only as an Organisation:

$ curl -s http://downloads.dbpedia.org/3.7/en/instance_types_en.nt.bz2  \
   | bzcat | grep "/United_Nations> " | cut -d' ' -f3
<http://dbpedia.org/ontology/Organisation>
<http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#Thing>
<http://schema.org/Organization>

Cheers,
Max
