Model United Nations, Wednesday, period 1

[locointhecoco]

The classroom was still set up with all the desks arranged in a circle, this time with the name plates labeled, and the flags the students made last week set up in the little flag holders.

It was just like the real UN!

"Welcome back, everypony!" Pinkie cheered when it was time for class to start. "I hope you all had a great week! Today we're going to get down to the business of real UN-ing! But first, I thought it'd be good to learn a little bit more about all our nations! So everypony, I'd like you to tell us what one of your nation's special holidays is! In Equestria, for instance, we have Hearts and Hooves Day, a day for everypony to let their very special someponies know how much we care for and appreciate them! Now you!" she pointed to a random student.

Once that was over with, Pinkie adopted her Serious Diplomat face. "And now, on to business. It has come to my attention that someone from the nation of Texas --" look, she wasn't great at Earth geography, okay? "-- has been worried that the UN of his world is going to try to take over his country! His world's UN has already denied this, but it raises an important question: should we invade Texas?" She brightened again. "I know lots of you are like me and maybe don't know anything at all about the nation of Texas, so I found a nice little fact sheet about it on the Interwebs for you all to use as we discuss! Oh! And if you haven't picked a nation yet, make sure you do that today!"

Should the Model UN invade Texas?

"I think we need to liberate those armadillos. And Prickly pear," Kenzi said very ...well, not soberly. "Also, I'm kinda thinking that a stand-off at the Alamao is required."

"Well, first off, Texas is a state, not a country, and I think the rest of the US would probably not like to be invaded," Petra said. "Second off Miss Texas was crazy and great with firearms and it sounds like this guy might be at least one of those things, too. I think Texas is at the very least on the 'handle with care' list."

"I don't think invasion is a good idea." Cassidy was convinced of this.

"No. Definitely not. It seems like it would be an invitation for disaster," said Ryan. She couldn't help adding, "Besides, all my ex's live in Texas."

"There should probably be talking and diplomacy and stuff first," Hanna said, deciding that sounded important and thoughtful enough.

"Only if they start something," Richie suggested. "For right now we should just hang back and see what happens."

"Absolutely. It'll keep them on their toes."
