What If The Kardashians Ran The United Nations
International policy, but now with sponsored lip kits, viral Drama, and resolutions decided by Instagram poll. Welcome to a world where world peace has a glam squad, sanctions get filtered, and global warming finally gets its own reality show.
What If The Kardashians Ran The United Nations? ๐๐๐ธ
โWorld peace, but make it fashion. History will never be the same, and neither will your selfie stick."
I. General Assembly, But With Glam โจ๐
Kim K arrives at the UN headquarters not in a motorcade, but in a #sponsored mobile glam bus. ๐๐ She surveys the General Assembly through Balenciaga sunglasses, declaring the entire chamber "needed a glow-up, stat." The iconic green marble is now "avocado toast chic." ๐ฅโจ
Security guards don't check for weapons, they check for ring lights and good angles. The family's lighting crew gets full diplomatic immunity to ensure "neutral tones, obviously, we're not animals." ๐ก๐
VIP seating now requires:
- At least one international magazine cover ๐ฐ
- A verified TikTok with 10M+ followers ๐คณ
- Proof you've never worn beige on camera ๐ซ๐ฅฎ
โSanctions are so last season. This year, we're embargoing bad vibes, OOTD failures, and anyone still using plastic straws.โ ๐ฅคโ
II. Security Council Gets A Full Filter ๐ผ๏ธ๐
Every UN resolution is now decided by Instagram polls. "Should we intervene in the humanitarian crisis?" "๐ฅ or ๐๏ธ?" Glitter stickers and hot takes from Khloรฉ plaster every draft treaty.
โIf it can't break ten million likes by 3 PM EST, sorry babe, it's an abstention. The algorithm has spoken.โ ๐โก๏ธโ
Actual International Drama Unfolds:
- France blocks Russia for "copying my aesthetic."
- Russia blue-ticks Germany in the group chat. ๐ฌ๐ต
- The UK threatens to unfollow everyone unless they accept its collab request. ๐ฌ๐ง๐คโ
The "P5" no longer means Permanent Fiveโit means "Perfect 5" filter preset, now available for purchase in the UN app. ๐ฑ๐จ
III. Solving World Crises, One Sponsored Post At A Time ๐ฆ๐ธ
Kim launches "Peace by KKW" makeup palettesโ"Because nothing says 'ceasefire' like the perfect smoky eye." ๐๏ธโ๏ธ Proceeds: 10% to charity, 90% to the next yacht's interior designer. โต๐๏ธ
The Middle East crisis gets resolved through a celebrity olive oil brand dealโ"cold pressed, locally-sourced ceasefire." ๐ซโ๏ธ
World hunger? Addressed with a limited-run Keto cookbook available at the merch boutique. Because when people are starving, what they really need is fewer carbs. ๐โ
โFamine relief is so much more engaging when it comes with a 30% off promo code.โ #Ad #ThisIsHelpful
IV. Diplomacy, Reality TV Style ๐ฅ๐คซ
International negotiations are streamed live on "Keeping Up With The Negotiations"โwith more dramatic music than the actual dialogue. ๐ป๐ฑ Each week, one country gets voted out of the Security Council for "not bringing the right energy."
When Iran and France get into a screaming match, Kris Jenner swoops in waving a TMZ exclusive and whispering, "You're not making any money fighting, babies. Let's monetize this tension." ๐ผ๐ต
On official minutes, vetoes are replaced by subtweets and heavily filtered reaction shots. The official record now reads: "Russia expressed concerns via a series of cryptic Instagram Stories." ๐โก๏ธ๐ฑ
V. Conflicts Settled By Sponsored Retreats and Crying Confessionals ๐๏ธ๐ญ
Russia and Ukraine hash things out at a villa therapy retreat in the Bahamas, televised for E! Progress is measured by tears per camera angle and sponsorship integration quality.
โKim can't find Syria on a map, but she can curate a viral hashtag campaign by sunrise. #CeasefireAndContourโ ๐ ๐
Diplomats are now required to post "day in my life" TikTok recaps for global transparency. Every peace deal is delivered with sponsored skincare partnerships and at least one tearful apology reel that breaks the internet.
VI. Agenda Setting: Global Lip Plumper Summit ๐๐๏ธ
The main annual UN event is now the "Lip Filler For All" summit, hosted by Kylie Jenner. World leaders present their cases via step-by-step contour tutorials.
The only true G7 left is the "Glam Seven"โa collab of top-world influencers, live-streamed straight from Geneva. The theme this year: "Nuclear Non-Proliferation, But Sexy." โข๏ธโก๏ธ๐
Resolutions must be delivered as IG captions, with a strict character limit and at least three relevant hashtags. #Diplomacy #PeacePlease #Ad
VII. Cultural Appropriation (of Whole Countries) ๐บ๏ธ๐
The yearly "Who Wore My Heritage Best?" gala becomes the most anticipated event. The winner gets to rename their capital city "Kardash" for one fiscal year.
The Geneva Convention is now the Geneva Capsule Collectionโdrop date TBD, sign up for notifications. International law is printed on limited-edition hoodies. ๐โ๏ธ
โInternational cuisine is rebranded as 'fusion influencer food'โproof that if every culture is a business opportunity, no one has a birthright, just brand rights.โ ๐ฎโก๏ธ๐
VIII. Disaster Relief Means Merch Drops ๐ช๏ธ๐
When disaster strikes, expect a limited-edition Kardashian "Relief Hoodie"โproceeds split between actual relief efforts and Kylie's new moisturizer line. ๐ฆ๐ฐ
All major hurricanes now have branded hashtags and live weather recaps on Instagram Stories with perfectly curated storm footage. โ๏ธ๐ธ
After every summit, diplomats receive swag bags containing:
- Hand sanitizer ๐งด
- Ring lights ๐ก
- A coupon for one free public statement and micro-influencer PR cleanse ๐ฃ๏ธโจ
IX. The Most Watched United Nations Session Ever ๐บ๐
The world tunes in at 9 PM EST for the first-ever live negotiation cliffhanger: North Korea and Canada unfollow each other in real time, and Kim teases "a secret neutral zone collab with Switzerland."
War and peace become binge content. The season finale ends with Kim looking directly into the camera: "The fate of global stability will be revealed... after these messages from our sponsor." ๐ฌโก๏ธ๐ข
Peacekeeping missions are now measured by engagement rates rather than success rates. The only extraction that matters is data extraction. ๐โก๏ธ๐พ

Snappy Takeaways for the Modern Diplomat ๐ก๐ฌ
โArticle 5: No war crimesโunless it ruins the season finale arc.โ ๐๐ฌ
โUN Peacekeepers are now managed by Kris Jenner's social media interns. Their only weapon? The block button.โ โฎ๏ธโก๏ธ๐ฑ
โThe only real veto power? Blocking on socials. Everything else is just performance art.โ โ๐๏ธ
โNew UN motto: Like, Comment, SubscribeโFor a Better World. Monetization optional but strongly encouraged.โ ๐คณ๐
