This is a thread for those who partake in Model United Nations on any scholastic level.
I am currently slogging through writing my position paper for McGill University's conference; I will depart for Montreal a week from Wednesday. I am Grenada in DISEC, which is frustrating because there is hardly anything unique to Grenada about such issues.

What is a the model UN anyway? It's one of those things I always see brought up whenever something focuses on American education for long enough, including those episodes of the Simpsons and Parks and Rec which had a lot to do with the model UN.
Also dibs on Republic of Ireland.

Also dibs on Republic of Ireland. It's an extracurricular activity in American schools from the middle school level to the college level where participants are assigned a country and some issues, and are in committees about those issues with other delegates in character.
A common explanation is LARPing in business suits if you were simulating the UN. Because that's what it fundamentally is.

Hah, my friends and I do this, except here in the safety and confines of the internet. Balance of Power being a case in point, however brief that particular game may have been. And lacking in actual debate, sometimes. At least publicly. Lord knows what was happening behind the scenes, especially between India, Pakistan, and China.

Hey, show me where I said anything about it? Only place I pointed to was the game I ran here.
