The year is 1491. The biggest and most powerful nations of the world, Spain, Portugal, England, and France, have run out of land to conquer, gold to gather, and partners to trade with. Seeking greater and greater, these nations have made it their priority to expand their reach across the Atlantic. With the simple goal of gaining wealth and influence, these countries must develop technology, navigate tense political situations, and delve into unknown lands across the Atlantic. However at the same time, domestic issues ranging from economic turmoil to political instability threaten to derail their goal of global expansion. With each nation having their own internal situations and goals, combined with the new race for technological, economic, and geographic discovery, delegates must carefully balance objectives and make critical decisions that will affect the entire global stage. How will the global powerhouses of Spain, Portugal, England, and France respond to the "Race across the Atlantic?" Will alliances form? Or will the four nations turn on each other in the pursuit of gold and glory?
