Avatar The Last Airbender: Order of the White Lotus
This committee drops delegates into one of the most critical moments in Avatar: The Last Airbender. The Order of the White Lotus is a secret society. Its members are masters from all four nations. They’ve gathered outside Ba Sing Se, just after the Fire Nation seized the city. Sozin’s Comet is coming, Avatar Aang is preparing to face Fire Lord Ozai, and the Order faces a hard choice: keep their centuries of secrecy, or step into the war out in the open. Here, delegates don’t represent countries. Instead, each plays a single White Lotus member—Iroh, Bumi, Pakku, Piandao, Jeong Jeong, Suki, even the Cabbage Merchant. This is a hybrid crisis committee. Delegates debate, pass directives, and shape events as they unfold.

CRISIS
The Future of Panem: 75th Hunger Games and Beyond
After the disastrous 75th Hunger Games, Rebel intervention has pushed Panem into a violent and polarized political climate. Rebels have started to gain credibility and influence, while citizens have started to recognize the formerly all-powerful, omnipotent Capitol as a formidable yet vulnerable force. Because of this instability and risk of backlash, President Snow had no choice but to call a summit between rebel and Capitol representatives to carefully plan the 76th games. Delegates will have to navigate these intense politics, whether advocating for the Rebels or the Capitol, as they meet to decide the fate of the 76th Hunger Games, and by extension, the future of Panem.

Best of luck, and we’ll see you in committee!
