Empire, Sovereignty, and the Battle for Global Trade

As tensions mount over the Suez Canal, delegates will enter a committee defined by imperial power, nationalism, and the struggle for control over global commerce. The canal is not merely a passage between the Mediterranean and Red Seas, but a symbol of sovereignty, foreign influence, and the economic lifeline connecting Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. As diplomats, military leaders, and political actors, delegates must navigate the competing interests of governments, colonial powers, and an international community unwilling to let the canal fall into uncertainty. The future of the Suez Canal, and the balance of power surrounding it, rests in your hands.
