Joint Crisis Committees

JCCs function very similarly to Crisis Committees. Like General Crisis Committees, each committee within a JCC has its own Chair, Crisis Director, and Crisis Staffers. However, every committee in a JCC is interconnected, both thematically and practically. Joined by a central issue, the committees in a JCC interact with one another: delegates in each JCC committee can interact with the delegates in other committees. We’re excited to announce EmpireMUNC X’s Joint Crisis Committees:

THE PASTRY WAR

FRANCE & Mexico

Welcome to the battleground of sugar, flour, and diplomatic strife! In the breaded halls of this historical clash, delegates embody the fierce spirit of 19th-century France and Mexico. In 1838, tensions simmer over unpaid debts and damaged bakeries. As the committee convenes, the air crackles with the intensity of conflict, both on the field and in the baker’s oven. 

The French delegation stands firm on one side, demanding reparation for their pastry chef’s losses. They seek justice and restitution at any cost, with pride wounded and croissants in peril. 

Across the oceans, the Mexican delegation bristles with defiance, refusing to yield to foreign demands. Their honor is at stake as they prepare to defend their nation’s sovereignty and uphold their principles. 

Learn and debate the deliciously dramatic and underrepresented world of the Pastry War. Prepare for a battle of wits, wills, and whimsical pastries as we explore this tumultuous chapter in history. Don’t miss your chance to savor the excitement and intrigue of the Pastry War!
