Cooperating countries are called members. In addition, cooperation between members may also include special trading arrangements, support for trade issue discussion, or eliminating trade with competing countries. No more than two countries from the same school may enter into an alliance. Here is an Example Let s say that Canada, Ethiopia, and South Korea all agree to form the CES Alliance because each has what the other needs. Each member of the CES Alliance will trade, tariff free, with each other.
All members agree to help each other meet trading goals and gain cash for internal improvements.
All three members agree to sign and give signature cards in support of each other s trade issues. In addition, all members also agree not to trade or negotiate with Singapore and Bangladesh. Each country is limited to 2 trade alliances and no more than 2 teams from the same school may be in the alliance. Each country in the alliance will be awarded 10pts. The only proof of a country s commitment to an alliance is through submitting one of their alliance cards.
