Annie is initially pleased when she meets Annie Kim, a fellow student in her political science class and if anything an even more determined overachiever. She's less happy when Other Annie takes her idea of a Greendale Roleplay/ModelUnitedNations and makes it official. Annie responds by forming her own model UN with the biology study group. Their teacher (guest star Martin Starr) approves the idea of a model UN face-off.

Not participating, at least not inside the hall, is Britta. Jealous of an old classmate who's being held as a political prisoner in Syria, she haphazardly sets out to get back in touch with her rabble-rousing roots. Her wish to be a notorious troublemaker dovetails with Chang's desire to be a [[PoliceBrutality brutal cop]].

!!The ''Series/{{Community}}'' episode "Geography of Global Conflict" provides examples of:
* AbortedArc: This episode seems to set up Annie Kim as a major antagonist to Annie Edison, but the former only appears two more times in the show, briefly.
* ActorAllusion: Troy representing Georgia and speaking with a DeepSouth accent might be an example of this, since Creator/DonaldGlover was raised in Stone Mountain, Georgia.
* AesopAmnesia: Britta apparently hasn't learned from way back in "[[Recap/CommunityS1E02Spanish101 Spanish 101]]" that her particular brand of 'activism' is basically just a flashy means of feeling good about herself.
* AlmostKiss: Jeff and Annie, during the HeldGaze mentioned below.
* AlternateUniverse: {{Discussed|Trope}} when Abed decides that there should be a second Earth to go with a second UN and Cligoris runs with it.
* AsianAndNerdy: Annie Kim.
* BigNo: Annie starts her tantrum by letting out a veritable ''shriek'' of one of these.
* BigStupidDoodooHead: Annie's rant gets unintelligible pretty quickly, but she seems to be calling Annie Kim something along these lines.
-->'''Annie:''' And you...you ''suck!'' You're a stupid, ugly, poop-face and I'm '''''better than you!'''''
* BridalCarry: Chang carries Britta in his arms after tasing her.
* BrokenWindowWarning: Britta sends a message with a brick through the window of the campus security office.
* BuffySpeak: A long example when the other security guard has trouble explaining to Chang (paraphrased) "that thing that comes down and keeps cars out of the parking lot".[[note]]For the record, he's talking about a 'boom gate' or a 'barrier gate'.[[/note]]
* CaptainObvious
-->'''Britta:''' This is what the UN is doing to your freedom! I'm your freedom! And I'm in a cage! With the world! Because of them!
* ChewingTheScenery:
** Britta's speech, complete with hand gestures.
** Annie's BigNo and following tantrum.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Britta, with Shirley.
-->'''Britta:''' Yep, I'm gettin' serious! I got a backpack, I got a new notebook, I got one of those see-through yellow pens so I can do that thing where you color in the words...\\
'''Shirley:''' Highlight?\\
'''Britta:''' Probably the backpack.
** Also Pierce, who appears to view UsefulNotes/{{Somalia}} as a libertarian paradise.
** Played straight and averted with Troy, who uses an accent from the ''U.S. State'' of Georgia, but is apparently aware that it's the different ''country'' of Georgia, and appears to know the necessary facts about the country.
* CueCardPause: Chang, while reading the note Britta left on a brick she threw through his window, has to pause and rotate the brick to read the far right side of every line.
* DiggingYourselfDeeper: After chastising Annie that she was "acting like a little schoolgirl but not in the hot way" during her FreakOut, Jeff appears to make an attempt to explain himself to everyone who heard him but just decided to go ScrewThisImOuttaHere
* DiscriminateAndSwitch: Pierce, though it doesn't help the situation. He switches from racism to sexism, then back.
-->'''Pierce''': They are ruthless.\\
'''Everybody else''': What?\\
'''Pierce''': What? Not Asians ... women.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Britta and Chang act like they're about to be married but she backs out at the last minute. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
* [[DontExplainTheJoke Don't Explain the Symbolism]]: Britta explains every point of the weird visual "cage" metaphor to anyone who will listen.
* DontLookAtMe: Annie after her tantrum.
* DoomedMoralVictor: Annie claims that even if Annie Kim takes the practical victory, the former's committee extending an olive branch to the latter's automatically earns the former this status.
* EvilTwin: More "JerkAss twin" than "evil twin," but Annie Kim still counts. She shares Annie's overachiever nature and obsession with winning, but without any of her humanizing or endearing qualities. Lampshaded, of course, by Jeff.
-->'''Jeff:''' Wow, Annie, how progressive of you to have a multicultural evil twin.
-->'''Pierce [''admiring'']:''' An Asian Annie. [[UsefulNotes/BarackObama Obama]]'s America.
* FloatingAdviceReminder: Garrett's head spouting with "Crisis Alert!"
* FoeRomanceSubtext: Between Chang and Britta throughout the episode. It doesn't help that Music/LionelRichie's "Hello" keeps playing every time they clash, and their final scene has Chang doing a BridalCarry to Britta.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Chang [[spoiler:letting slip that he plans to turn on the Dean and take over the school eventually]] seems like just another one-off gag ... [[spoiler:until he does just that in "[[Recap/CommunityS3E18CourseListingUnavailable Course Listing Unavailable]]."]]
* FreakOut: When it appears Annie's team might lose to Annie Kim's in the last round, her stress boils over and she starts screaming and thrashing on the table.
* FreezeFrameBonus: The flyer for Annie Kim's [[Roleplay/ModelUnitedNations Model UN]] club is (appropriately) decorated with the flags of various countries. But if you pay close attention, you'll notice that most of the flags are for non-sovereign states (e.g. UsefulNotes/HongKong, UsefulNotes/{{Greenland}}, and the UsefulNotes/BritishIndianOceanTerritory), which aren't actually UN members--suggesting that Annie Kim [[SmallNameBigEgo isn't as knowledgeable about global politics as she pretends to be]].
* FriendlyEnemy: Annie and Annie, at least at first.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: While Britta is wildly gesticulating during one of her [[SoapboxSadie self-righteous rants]], Abed starts to follow her hand movements with his eyes and gets an increasingly dizzier look on his face.
* GrowingUpSucks: Annie is concerned that growing up would ruin the close friendship she and Jeff have.
* HeldGaze: Between Jeff and Annie during the couch scene where Jeff explains why he is so protective of her, they both realize that they need to grow up because their interest in each other no longer fits the barriers they built for it.
* HypocriticalHumor:
-->'''Prof. Cligoris:''' Ready, set, peace! [''Shoots gun'']
** The only rational way Prof. Cligoris could solve which is the better model UN was with a UN Battle Royale.
* IAmSpartacus: Parodied in the "I farted" conclusion, where Jeff was trying to say he actually ''was'' the one who farted, only for everyone to do the "Spartacus thing".
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Both Britta and Chang. Chang fancies himself a cop, and Britta learns an old friend has been arrested for protesting and [[AttentionWhore wants some limelight too]]. Her extra aggressive "protesting", however, is just weird and harmless antics that no one except Chang cares about.
* LastSecondWordSwap:
-->'''Jeff''': My Annie gave this other Annie the idea and this diabolical little b--usybody stabbed her in the back.
* LetMeGetThisStraight: The security officer recapping Britta's trespassing.
-->"So let me get this straight. You're bringing her in here for 'making a mess'."
* MistakenForPedophile: Jeff chastises Annie during her FreakOut by telling her "she's acting like a little schoolgirl, and not in a hot way". Cue collective {{gasp}} from everyone.
* MundaneMadeAwesome: Professor Cligoris ''really'' likes Model UN.
* MusicVideoSyndrome: Whenever Britta and Chang butt heads.
* NerdGlasses: Annie Kim wears a classic set. YMMV on whether they're flattering or not, but the fact her character wears them pushes the "bookworm" aspect of Annie further.
* NWordPrivileges: Britta actually calls the study group "My N-words!" instead of using the word. It's {{subverted|Trope}} when Troy and Shirley display offense anyway, prompting a hasty apology.
* OffhandBackhand: Britta gets one in against Chang.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted with two Annies.
* PapaWolf: Jeff towards Annie, so much. Overlaps with the ShipTease near the end of the episode, he admits to thinking that playing this role is the only safe way he can express his affection for her.
* [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits Ragtag Bunch of Cut-ups]]
* RuleAbidingRebel: Britta is [[DiscussedTrope called out]] InUniverse on being one of these by the head of campus security.
* RuleOfFun: Why Troy speaks with a Southern accent.
* SeriousBusiness: Model UN, natch.
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Jeff spends a ''long'' moment denying that Annie and he are in a relationship to Annie Kim.
* ShipTease:
** Jeff/Annie, but they both realize it's way too creepy considering the whole "Annie is still a kid, but she's growing up" discussion that led up to it.
** The FoeRomanceSubtext entry above between Britta and Chang.
* ShoutOut:
** To ''Film/{{Spartacus}}'' where ''everyone'' [[IAmSpartacus claims to have farted]].
** Abed and Troy play [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_%28game%29 Operation]] on Pierce in TheTag.
** [[Series/{{Fringe}} A red Earth and a blue Earth are competing to crush each other, and both leaders have the same name. Eventually it all works out when the people of blue Earth create a portal to the red Earth and try to negotiate peace.]]
** Abed's insistence on calling the AlternateUniverse of the hypothetical second UN [[Franchise/TheDCU Earth-2]].
* SitcomArchNemesis: Annie Kim to Annie; the rest of the study group peg it immediately, despite Annie's protests to the contrary.
* SpitefulSpit: Britta spits Chang in the face out of contempt.
* StaticStunGun: Chang uses a taser to take down Britta when she disrupts the UN competition.
* StepfordSmiler: Played for laughs; after Annie Kim steals her Model UN idea, Annie's desperate attempts to put on a cheery front and pretend that she's totally cool with this and not absolutely seething with rage prompt her to rant hysterically while insistently maintaining an upbeat tone and generally come across like she's having a nervous breakdown.
* TakeThat:
** Cligoris deals a pretty harsh hit to the usefulness of the UsefulNotes/UnitedNations.
--->'''Cligoris:''' A logical, effective, common-sense move, Annie Kim. One which flies in the very face of the United Nations itself--a fundamentally symbolic organization founded on the principles of high-minded rhetoric and empty gestures.
** Jeff makes a similar criticism.
--->'''Jeff:''' I think the real lesson here is that a model UN, much like the real UN, quickly falls apart when faced with actual -- [''Annie interrupts by freaking out'']
** Britta pouring paint on the globe looks like the Sherwin-Williams "Cover the Earth" logo.
* ThatCameOutWrong: When Jeff tries to halt Annie's tantrum.
-->'''Jeff:''' Annie, stop! You're acting like a little schoolgirl! And not in a hot way!\\
''(the audience gasps)''\\
'''Jeff:''' Okay... That made me sound creepy.
* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: Subverted, and not with the word "bitch," but the same principle applies. When Britta is ranting about wanting to get back down to her activist roots, she discovers that she does not have NWordPrivileges.
-->'''Britta:''' Maybe my path is a war path that leads to the Terrordome, n-words! [''Looks over to Shirley and Troy, who are clearly offended.''] Okay, maybe I went too far. Maybe I don’t want to offend my African-American friends. But the larger point is, maybe I’m not done raging against the machine!
* ThrowingOffTheDisability: When we first see Prof. Cligoris.
* UnspokenPlanGuarantee: Abed attempts to {{invoke|dTrope}} this with his plan to win the UN competition. The trope is lampshaded by Jeff, [[BetterThanABareBulb and then immediately played arrow-straight]].
-->'''Jeff''': Abed, what did I tell you? You can't just mumble nonsense, no one's cutting away.\\
'''Abed''': Okay, fine. Here's my actual plan:\\
[''Scene cuts away'']
