Country brief
Foreign-policy position on a topic, with allies, voting record, and rationale. Built for Model UN delegates who want a draft that reads like real diplomacy — not a Wikipedia summary.
Key highlights
Quoted official stance
The foreign ministry or head-of-government line, verbatim and cited — not paraphrased.
Full UN voting record
Every relevant resolution with its A/RES number and how the country voted.
Alignments mapped
Key bilateral partners and the real basis of each relationship.
Negotiating posture
The delegation's likely stance going in — and what would actually shift it.
About this template
A country brief gives you one delegation's complete position on a single issue — its official stance, how it has voted at the UN, who it aligns with, and the domestic politics underneath. Instead of stitching that together from scattered news, you get a structured profile built from the country's own statements and voting record.
Use it before a conference to learn the country you're representing, or to size up an ally or rival before caucusing. Every claim is tied to a primary source — a ministry release, a head-of-government statement, an A/RES vote — so you can quote it on the floor and back it up.
Model Diplomat vs. generic AI
The same prompt in a general chatbot can produce something that reads right and isn't. Here's the difference.
| Aspect | This template | ChatGPT / generic AI |
|---|---|---|
| Sources | Primary documents, cited and openable | Often fabricated, or none at all |
| Format | Conference-ready, in your committee's standard structure | A blank page — you supply the format |
| Verifiability | Every claim checkable against its source | No way to tell what's real |
| Built for the work | Tuned for diplomacy, politics, and law | General-purpose, not domain-aware |
| Cost | Free to start | — |
