To represent your country accurately, start by answering the following questions: What sort of government does your country have? What types of ideologies (political, religious or other) influence your country's government? Which domestic issues might influence your country's foreign policy? What are some major events in your country's history? Why are they important? Which ethnicities, religions and languages can be found in your country? Where is your country located and how does its geography affect its political relationships? Which countries share a border with your country? Which countries are considered allies of your country? Which countries are considered enemies of your country? What are the characteristics of your country's economy? What is your country's gross domestic product (GDP)? How does this compare to other countries in the world?

Here are some additional questions to help guide your research: What is the problem? How does it affect your country? What has your country done to combat the problem? What are the various "sides" in the debate? Which aspects of the issue are most important to your country? How will your country shape the debate at the conference? What arguments will other countries make? How do the positions of other countries affect your country's position? Is there evidence or statistics that might help to back up your country's position?
