NationLab has been developed and refined for nine years in annual role-playing seminars in the highest national strategic schools of the Western Hemisphere. |
|
Participants play the key roles of government and opposition of a real country, including radical groups, organized crime, and international institutions. |
|
Each day of the exercise encompasses one complete cycle of policy formation and execution, corresponding to one to five years of real time. |
|
The exercise is driven by the decisions and actions of all the players, rather than by a script or event list. |
|
The socio-economic effects of all actions taken in each decision cycle are determined by an adjudication seminar, supported by a state-of-the-art computer simulation model. |
|
The consequences of the each days’ decisions and actions, good or bad, determine the conditions faced by the players in all succeeding days of the exercise. |
|
Participants are challenged to exert leadership and to accomplish reform despite political opposition, serious economic constraints, and institutional weakness. |
