 Background Guide – World War III 

Introduction: 

By 2027, the world stands on the brink of humanit. The post-World War II global order, built upon institutions meant to prevent large-scale conflict, has fractured beyond recognition. Private military corporations (PMCs) have eclipsed national armies, non-state actors control critical resources, and the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has become paralyzed by competing interests.

Proxy wars have evolved into full-scale battles between mercenary groups, corporations, and extremist factions. Diplomacy has been replaced by corporate deals, while nuclear weapons are no longer the exclusive domain of nation-states. The old world order is crumbling, replaced by a new, chaotic paradigm where power is dictated not by sovereignty, but by financial and military dominance.

This guide outlines the key events that led to this global collapse, detailing the rise of PMCs, the breakdown of international alliances, and the rise of rogue states and terrorist networks. As delegates, you must navigate a world where war is no longer waged between nations alone, but by conglomerates and warlords who have no borders, no laws, and no limits.

Faction Overhaul 

 Non-State Armies 

Al-Qaeda 2.0: Controls Yemeni biolabs and Somali piracy networks. Allied with Taliban cyber units targeting Indian infrastructure. 

ISIS Black Markets: Runs oil-smuggling routes from Nigeria to Libya. Uses G4S-issued security passes to infiltrate EU borders. 

Wagner Group: Now commands four nuclear warheads via Belarus. Dominates African uranium trade, supplying Iran and North Korea. 

Academi: Privatized 30% of U.S. Pacific Fleet operations. Operates AI drone swarms licensed to the Philippines and Taiwan. 

G4S Empire: Controls 65% of global rare-earth mining security. Accused of running slave camps in Sri Lanka for EU tech firms. 

UN Power Plays 

China: Arms the Taliban to counter U.S. influence in Afghanistan. Secretly buys Wagner-nukes for Taiwan invasion contingency. 

Russia: Vetoes all UN actions against Wagner. Leaks NATO intel to ISIS via Syrian proxies.

 UAE: Uses G4S to militarize Red Sea trade routes. Funds Academi’s Ethiopia base to counter Egyptian influence. 

Brazil: Leads the "Global South Bloc" against PMCs. Hosts Al-Qaeda defectors revealing U.S.-Saudi collusion.

The world order has collapsed into a battlefield where PMCs, rogue states, and terrorist networks dictate global affairs. With nuclear weapons now being auctioned, AI-driven warfare replacing traditional armies, and private corporations waging wars for profit, the lines between war and business have been erased.

As delegates, you face a world where diplomacy is ineffective, alliances are fragile, and every decision has the potential to trigger catastrophic consequences. Will you attempt to dismantle the private military conglomerates ruling the world, or will you join the race for power and survival?
