Convention on the Assetization of Pineapples 2026 (CAP26) - Pineapple Standard
It is 2026, and the traditional financial systems of the world have completely collapsed. All fiat currencies across the world have plummeted in value. Amongst the chaos that this has wrought on the world, a new, rare, and tasty currency has increased in value: Pineapples! Rather than pegging a currency to precious metals, a decision has been made to peg currencies to pineapples. With traditional power dynamics across the globe completely upended, this Convention on the Assetization of Pineapples 2026 (CAP26) has assembled a number of nations to determine how this newfound currency will operate. The global financial system relies on novel ideas to rebuild a global economy under this new currency.
Topic 1 - New International Financing Framework
Now that regular currencies are defunct, and pineapples seem poised to take over, the nations of the world must figure out how the financial framework of the world will become. How can currency pegs be maintained? Will physical pineapples be usable as a currency? The Pineapple(Ananas comosus)) is a highly complex plant to grow, only producing a single fruit in its lifespan. How can advancements be made in the propagation of pineapples to increase the currency base?
What form will the pineapple-based currency take?
Can the Pineapples solve the Impossible Trinity?
How can pineapple currency be scaled on a global level?
Topic 2 - Changing Global Dynamics
Another complexity that must be dealt with is the changing global dynamics with a pineapple-based currency. Many pineapple-producing countries are developing nations. This may be a windfall and a great opportunity for them, as it now gives them significant leverage over developed countries that have infrastructure they could provide to help further their development, Since this Pineapple crisis occurred virtually overnight, the developed world is in desperate need of currency, but they still hold many advantages in other areas.
How can pineapple-producing countries capitalize on changing global dynamics?
What can developed countries do to aid developing countries?
How will the global community rearrange itself with the new dynamics of CAP26?
