The original was created by men that grew up during or just after the Second Sino-Japanese War. The current production crew are of the generation after that. They grew up after the occupation and during the 60s and 70s. The two groups would definately have different views on Japan of the 1930s and 1940s. And by extension, view of both Germany and the United States of America (the two potental patterns for Gamilas). While they say there were not trying to use Germany as a model in the 1970s, this version it is very clear that Germany is a pattern...just by the naming of characters and a lot of the style involved in uniforms and space craft (particularly fighters).
Thus the producers feeling on what Yamato 2199's UN and various Earth governments will likely be reflected on their age rather than the age of the original's producers. There wasn't much said about Earth's government in the Yamato series aside from it being too sure of itself and not inclined to help others in Yamato II, and again possibly too sure of itself in Yamato III.
