In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, the noble House of Montague stands at a perilous crossroads. The streets run red with the blood of kin as their ancient feud with the influential Capulets grows ever more deadly. Mercutio is slain by Tybalt’s hand, and young Romeo, one of your own, faces the looming threat of exile after avenging his fallen friend. All the while, whispers of duplicitous Capulet plots have spread throughout the city, raising the stakes of this everlasting rivalry higher than ever before.

Yet, in the midst of this tale of violence and vengeance, young Romeo has been ensnared by his heart once more. This time, he's been swept up in a forbidden love affair with Juliet Capulet, his sworn enemy. Against the demands of society, Romeo and Juliet have been wed in secret.

However, their adolescent love has yet to survive the trials and tribulations of their families' enmity. If they successfully traverse conflicting loyalties and the insatiable pride of their families, their union could represent a seed of hope for peace in Verona. One wrong move and this story may become an infamous tragedy.

In their quest to dominate their historic rivals, the Montague family must navigate the treacherous waters of scandal while maintaining their status as one of Verona's most powerful aristocratic families. Friends become enemies and sworn enemies become friends as the two families are swept up in the overwhelming tide of pride, love, politics, and violence. Will this tale of two families end in tragedy? Or will the warring Montague and Capulet families rewrite their scripts?

The Prince's patience is growing thin and the margin for error is slim to none. The game is afoot, the houses of cards are falling, and this noble family has little time to waste. How can you ensure that the Montague name maintains its prestige and triumphs over its enemies? Or would you rather sacrifice success for peace?

As the year 1869 begins, so too is there a new beginning across Japan. The power of the Tokugawa shogunate, uncontested for over two and a half centuries, has finally come to an end. As the fortunes of the shogunate wane, the power of the Emperor waxes large - but there are still some who remain loyal to the old ways. Following the surrender of the capital city of Edo to the imperial army, the remnants of the shogun's navy fled north to the island of Ezo (now Hokkaidō) and established the first democratic republic in the history of Japan: the Republic of Ezo.

But the nascent republic is far from secure. Held together by a strange coalition of the fading samurai class and a rogue group of French military advisors, Ezo is running out of time from the moment its independence is declared. Across the sea, the young government of Emperor Meiji seeks to destroy the last holdouts of the Tokugawa. Across the globe, imperialist powers look with indifference and hostility towards the young country. And across Ezo itself, a lack of resources or military power means that there is little hope for any prolonged resistance against the imperial army.

As the most powerful figures at the center of this new republic, these are the circumstances you must overcome. As you struggle to create a state that can stand the tests of the outside world, you must ask yourself what form that state will take. Will it be a state that seeks to preserve traditions that are fading? Will it be a state that embraces modernity? Will it be an aristocracy? A democracy? Will it be a triumphant, shining example on a hill - or will it be just one more failed experiment?

The Republic of Ezo, along with all of Japan itself, is at a turning point. Welcome to that turning point: January 27th, 1869. The Republic has been declared. Only you - and the decisions you make, the speeches you give, the alliances you forge - can decide if it lasts.

Over a thousand years ago, House of Wisdom stood as a beacon of knowledge in the Abbasid Caliphate for scholars across the Old World, drawing from a vast array of academic texts from as far as Persia, Greece, and India. However, not everyone shared in the same enthusiasm for the institute; religious leaders found the translation of foreign philosophies as anti-Islamic, and military elites found the distillation of fields such as alchemy and physics to the public a potential threat to their power. Even so, despite the Court’s stance still uncertain and under debate, the House of Wisdom has already begun to cement itself as the ideological core of the empire, with innovations in medicine, astronomy, theology and more already rapid. Furthermore, while the Court continues to squabble over the validity of these developments, other nations have already begun to take notice and covet the newfound knowledge stirring in the library. With envious foes looming on the horizon and fearful skeptics within the Caliphate itself, will the Court be able to come to a consensus on the House of Wisdom and stand against threats both foreign and domestic? Delegates in this committee will serve as members of the Caliph’s Court, each representing various aspects and peoples of Abbasid society. Ranging from the intellectual class of researchers and engineers to the conservative factions of diplomats and generals, delegates will represent a vastly diverse and nuanced landscape of views regarding both the House of Wisdom itself and the ideals contained and created within. It will be up to delegates to determine if the institution has any place in the Caliphate's future, all the while managing the response and potential backlash of both the Abbasid public and foreign world leaders after each decision made and directive passed.

you 🫵🫵don't ❌❌❌❌have to dive 🤿🤿🤿high ↗️or low ↘️to find this piece of treasure👑👑👑.. UCBMUN ###'s Emergence of Atlantis is a very obvious gold ⭐️⭐️mine!! || Before now, the Lost City of Atlantis has been just that- lost. As nations above the water have made alliances, traded goods, and waged wars, Atlantis has been secretly growing its power as an underwater city-state. Now, in 2026, Atlantis wants to emerge from secrecy as a global superpower. As a council composed of members of Atlantis's government, you must decide how to do this. Will Atlantis choose to make peaceful contact with the rest of the world? Or will it leverage its hidden might to wage war? You must work together as a council to develop global alliances, communications strategies, and internal defenses to help Atlantis establish itself in the world. Atlantis's unique technologies and mythical ties to the water will be at your full disposal, but it's up to you to use these resources while balancing diplomacy with modern nations. The fate of Atlantis is up to you- will Atlantis emerge as a true superpower? Or will it sink back into the waves, lost to mythology?

Howard Stark is dead. The world mourns a talented inventor while Stark Industries mourns its capable CEO. The funeral wreaths haven't even wilted, and already the boardroom smells like tension, toner, and quiet corporate panic.

Stark Industries, a global defense giant with classified weapons tech, a questionable moral compass, and a PR team hanging on by a thread, is now leaderless. The only heir? A genius with a god complex and a bigger budget for whiskey than R&D: Anthony Edward Stark. Like his father, Tony has always had an incredible knack for brilliant invention, but hasn't had a second of PR or boardroom training in his life. Failure is likely, scandal a guarantee.

As the organization that orchestrated Howard's "accident" still schemes under the surface, and unnamed government men in suits begin "dropping by," the board has been called into emergency session.
Shareholders want stability. The Pentagon wants answers. Foreign governments want access. And, beginning to stir in the young heir's mind, is the idea for the greatest weapon (or hero) ever created. Inside the boardroom, alliances will be made, broken, and possibly bought. Beyond the walls lurk corporate spies, journalistic leaks, and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in disguise. Will you pivot Stark Industries away from weapons, or transform it into a vehicle for revenge? Back the prodigal son, or engineer his downfall? Save the company, or save your own skin? Whether you defend the name or change the game is up to you. Every policy has a price. Every handshake hides a dagger. And the SEC is definitely listening in.

This isn't just business. It's survival with a quarterly report. So suit up. The fate of Stark Industries is in your hands.

spooky scary !! UCBMUN ### hopes this committee isn't too spine shivering... || Mexico is facing a supernatural crisis as legendary folkloric figures like La Llorona, Nahuales, and El Charro Negro seemingly emerge into reality. Strange events—disappearances in Xochimilco, eerie happenings in Chapultepec and Isla de las Muñecas, and even spiritual disturbances at Popocatépetl—have escalated into a nationwide emergency. In response, the Mexican Council for National Preservation and Supernatural Affairs has convened an emergency summit at Palacio Nacional, bringing together officials, scientists, folklorists, indigenous elders, and others to address the unrest. Beyond paranormal chaos, the crisis represents a deeper reckoning with Mexico’s suppressed indigenous history and spiritual traditions, forcing the nation to confront the tension between modernization and its ancestral past.
