Model United Nations, Wednesday, period 1

[locointhecoco]

The classroom didn't look like anything really special yet. The chairs were all arranged around in a wide circle, so that everypony could face everypony else, and each desk had a nice little blank name-plate and empty flag holder, all ready for the students to come and fill with their hopes, dreams, names, and knowledge of whatever country they've chosen to represent. Pinkie's desk already had "Pinkie Pie: Equestria" written on the name plate, and a tiny little Equestrian flag flying proudly. She waited patiently -- well, as patient as a manic pink party pony can be anyway, which isn't very -- while the students shuffled in and took their seats.

"Welcome, everypony to Model United Nations, the class all about working together to support each other and to solve the problems of the multiverse! We're going to get started with an easy problem for you, today: we can't start solving the multiverse's problems through teamwork and friendship until we know who everypony is! As the representative of Equestria and the official Grand Poo-Bah of this Model United Nations --" Shut up, the facilitator was TOTALLY the Grand Poo-Bah, "-- I would like to propose that we solve this problem by introducing ourselves and picking which country, nation, or otherwise independently governed geographical or metaphysical region we're representing! All those in favor, say 'yippeee!'"

You'd best yippeee, or this Grand Poo-Bah was going to make an executive order and make you all follow her suggestion, anyway. In the spirit of teamwork and friendship, of course.

"Oooo, and then we can all make flags. I brought crayons and glitter!"

Hopes, dreams, names, knowledge of whatever country they'd chosen to represent, and glitter. These were the foundations of multiverse peace.

Petra crafted a very glittery flag with a pink Venus symbol on it to represent the United States of Girls. She thought about putting a tiara on it, too, but decided that since the United States of Girls was a democracy that wouldn't be quite right.

"Can the State of Inebriation say how awesome that flag is without sounding drunk?"

"I think the representative from the State of Inebriation is allowed to sound drunk," Petra told her, grinning. "Also, thanks. It is pretty awesome, isn't it?" She waved her tiny flag proudly. "Maybe a little stereotypical, but whatever. Sometimes you have to embrace the stereotype."

"Yippeeeeee," Kenzi agreed, waving her own little bottle-with-flag in it. It was even better than having a bottle *on* the flag. "Also, I figured, it was this or Russia, and hey. Almost the same thing sometimes, judging by my relatives."
