Not All Treasure is Silver or Gold: The Barbary Wars (1801-1815)

Note: UNSC will be a double-delegate committee.

In a collection of conflicts occurring across the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean, delegates in the Barbary Wars committee will defend the goals and values of their respective countries as the United States protects its international reputation, Sweden fights against piracy, and the Barbary States work to expand their influence on the global stage.

The greatest problem facing each nation during the Barbary Wars were pirates; both state sanctioned and rogue. As nations use their naval forces to protect foreign interests abroad, they must be extraordinarily defensive against pirates, who will freely raid and plunder those who are foolish enough to leave themselves unguarded.
