The UN cannot lay claim over its members. The US can lay claim over the states, therefore the states make up the physical region of the United States. The UN member nations do not make up a physical region of the UN. Claiming that the breakup of the UN would be the same as a breakup of the US is just as absurd as saying that the breakup of NATO would be the same as the breakup of the German Bundesländer.
