Negotiate trade agreements, secure needed imports, protect export capacity, and—when Round 2 begins—decide how tariffs change the deal.
Use the section name provided by your instructor. Your section keeps this live market separate from other classes using the simulation at the same time.
Practice is over. These are the rules that now affect your country’s consequential results.
The Round 1 resource rules still apply. Tariffs now change the cost and payoff of trade.
Exports contribute to GDP at a moderated 20% rate. Tariffs reduce the exporter’s effective export base; tariff revenue contributes to the imposing country’s result.
Your team may request a tariff on imports from another country. The instructor must approve it before it becomes active.
Each bar tracks progress toward the amount needed to secure that resource. A need turns green at 100%.
A need counts as secured when imports in that category reach 1% of the GDP entering the current round. Each secured noncritical need earns +0.5% (up to three); the critical need earns +2.0%. Imports use budget but do not reduce GDP dollar-for-dollar.
These are the products your country is best positioned to offer in trade.
