# Simulations Overview

> Practice MUN debate with AI-powered country delegates

Simulations are Model Diplomat's MUN practice mode. You join a simulated UN committee as a delegate representing a specific country, and you debate with AI-powered delegates representing other countries — all in real time.

It's the closest thing to a real MUN committee that you can do from your laptop.

## What simulations do

In a simulation:

* You're assigned (or choose) a **country** to represent
* AI delegates represent all other countries in the committee
* A **chair** (also AI) runs the session with real parliamentary procedure
* You give speeches, respond to points of information, make motions, and negotiate
* At the end, you receive a **score and skills assessment** grading your performance

## Why simulations matter for MUN prep

Reading about MUN procedure is very different from actually doing it. Simulations give you:

**Procedural fluency** — You practice using the right motions at the right time, in a realistic setting where making an error has consequences (the AI chair will rule you out of order).

**Negotiation practice** — You have to actually persuade AI delegates to support your position. You can't just say you'll negotiate — you have to do it.

**Speaking under pressure** — Drafting and delivering speeches with other delegates in the "room" is different from writing them alone. Simulations build the muscle memory of thinking and speaking diplomatically in real time.

**Safe failure** — You can make all your mistakes in simulations before you're in a real committee. Try the aggressive strategy, see if it works, learn what to do differently.
