The Inner Circle of Kim Jong-Un

North Korea. This secretive state, ruled with an iron fist by Kim Jong-Un, is the world's last bastion of Stalinism. Yet being revered as a god by many of his countrymen, one man cannot manage every aspect of such a barely functional country. A good ruler surrounds himself with experienced and capable advisors, and Kim Jong-Un is no different in this regard. Delegates in this committee will make up such an inner circle, managing the affairs of North Korea under the watchful eye of an absolute dictator. Yet with great power comes great responsibility and great danger. Will delegates assist Kim Jong-Un in continuing to oppress the North Korean people and keep their tenuous hold on power? Will they seek the deposal of this despot and attempt to liberate their countrymen? Any of these events, and many more, are possible. Anything can happen. Just remember, what happens in the DPRK stays in the DPRK.  The Crisis Director is Robert Hannah and the Crisis Co- Director is Max Hill. The Chair is Alexis Unger and the Co- Chair is Emily Hillhouse. Helping in the crisis room is Crisis Staff Member Liam Chew.
