I was at a Model UN
conference where I was a member of the British War Cabinet in WWII. We had to
fight the Axis powers by invading North Africa, France, etc. I was proud when
my plan on invading Indonesia was approved and subsequently successful. Some of
the other people were very pompous, with one girl claiming she could veto
anything anyone else proposed. Luckily, she never tried that. My chairs (the
people in charge of the committee) were very friendly and helped ensure
everyone had fun. They even had tea brought into us on three different
occasions, to represent the British-ness of the committee. Everyone appreciated
that.
In the British
cabinet they had the Dominions represented: Canada, Australia, India, and
Burma, as well as the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs. The last guy
mentioned was really chill and he came up with a bunch of stuff to do. We had
lots of directives where we reappropriated army divisions between different
parts of the British Empire, including protecting Malta from Italy. Most people
were cooperative in formulating plans, but several were not. Those people were
aggravating. But despite those people, I
truly enjoyed participating in that committee.
