Football Frenzy
By:Alexei Faulkner
New Larxia- King Maddy IV, on Tuesday announced government plans to costruct a new football stadium to go over and above for hosting a Football World Cup.
While the Larxian team will be participating in this edition of the World Cup, FFL Chief, Florentino Levante refused to put in a bid to host this edition of the World Cup in the Larxian lands. 
In an interview, he said," While it is true that hosting the world cup is a very prestigious opportunity, the FFL is currently invested in finding the next generation of world-class footballers. That said, it is my pleasure to announce the opening of government funded football academies around Larxia, with the operation headquarters in in the very same place where the new stadium is being built."
This new venture, called 'Football For All', started by FFL with support of the government will train the future of Larxian football for a very nominal fee.
Back to the main topic of the article, the new stadium will be built in Nexilia, the technological hub of Larxia.
The proposed plan for the stadium:
 

The new stadium will be one of the most technologically advanced stadiums in the world. According to the reports, the construction had already started a few months back and it will take a few more months to be completely ready.
Another stadium is being proposed to the government, which will most probably agree to it.
The other stadium that will be possibly built in the outskirts of New Larxia, will also be made with the technological vision in mind.
The other proposed stadium will look like:

These two new stadiums will change the way people experience football matches for the better, and Larxia will be completely equipped to host the next World Cup. Till then all we can do is support our Footballing Heroes who will be led into the World Cup by none other than the G.O.A.T. Leonardo Messy. 
King Maddy IV was rather excited at the prospect of participating in the World Cup, he is confident that the Larxian team is equipped to go all the way, and he should be too, considering that Larxia has been one of the biggest investors and a patron of the sports.
In an interview with the captain himself, he said confidently," Taking into account the extensive investment in the sports infrastructure and the personal involvement of His Highness, we are possibly one of the strongest football playing nations in the world," he further added," The team is really confident and we have been training to win and nothing else. You can be assured that each game will be entertaining for the fans, and we're counting on the Larxian people to travel to the World Cup and support us from the stands. Pray for the cup, and you shall have the cup." 
I'll soon be travelling with the team and will report under the FFL banner for the duration of the World Cup.
Maybe I'll also get a chance to meet His Highness, King Maddy IV and thank him for the interest he has taken in promoting the sports in Larxia. It can very well be seen in the low obesity rates in Larxia that people are taking up physical activities in one form or another.

"We hope this academy can bring together world-class football players." His Majesty said.

8:00 AM International Atomic Time / 9:00 AM Over Time
Giovannia Capital City, Giovanniland 
Amore Gile Abrente, the Prime Minister of Giovanniland, had just woken up in her home at the Violet Palace government building. She knew it was going to be a busy day, because she had called for an emergency session with all 500 members of the Senate in order to discuss the Zoranian Civil War. This power is granted to the Prime Minister by the Constitution, although it was only used for extraordinary occasions. Of course, a civil war within one of Giovanniland's closest neighbors was enough of a reason to call an emergency session, and most parliament members did not object to the decision done a day earlier. Said session was scheduled to start exactly two hours later.
May 3, 1420
10:00 AM International Atomic Time / 11:00 AM Over Time
Giovannia Capital City, Giovanniland 
The emergency session started with a speech by the Speaker Aurelio Quavilla from the Partito Labrista. "Ladies and gentlemen in this Parliament, this is one of the darkest hours for modern Auran history," said Aurelio while leaders of all six parties gathered their own members. "Zoran has been thrown into a civil war that has dealt many casualties and suffering to the Zoranian people. As you know, Giovanniland is a close ally to the former Zoranian government, called the Grand Defense Council, and this can be seen by the Trade Agreement signed in order to improve both nations' economies. However, it brings me no joy to remind you the very GDC has committed a war crime towards its own people by the bombing of Zoradia, the capital city of Zoran. This has led to the death of innocent civilians! As a country that strongly defends human rights, Giovanniland cannot accept that, and it is my hope that every representative in this room agrees." He then gave the floor to the Deputy Speaker, Elisabette Martino-Treboni from the Partito Soquale-Verde.
"The decision made by us today holds utmost importance and could even affect the outcome of the Zoranian Civil War," continued Elisabette. "We must support one of the other three factions in this war or continue supporting the GDC if a majority so chooses. Though I must remind you about the importance of the environment, welfare and democracy—the pillars of our Giovannilandian government—and advise you to think about each faction's commitment to uphold these values. The GDC is no longer worthy of support from Giovanniland after their war crimes, and the Theocrats have lost most of their support after the Divine Shaman's speech denouncing said faction. The Corporates, however, are the biggest threat to Aura given their endless goal of earning more profit. It seems to me that our only choice is to support the Monarchist faction, given their support from nations such as Saint Mark and their military strength possibly capable of defeating the Corporates." 
She briefly stopped in order to move on and explain the official voting procedures: "It's worth noting that my speech is only a recommendation, and you are free to cast your vote according to your own beliefs and opinions. After all, we have the commitment to maintain a free and fair democracy in Giovanniland. There will be one hour of discussion between each party's respective members following this speech. Afterwards, a vote will be held and whichever faction achieves the most votes among our 500 senators will then earn the support of the Giovannilandian government," Elisabette finished.
After the affirmative result of switching support to the Monarchists was known, PM Amore Gile Abrente arrived into the room and announced, "Thank you to everyone for voting in this important decision for the future of Aura. Our recognition and any support given to the official Zoranian government shall be switched from the GDC to the Monarchists, and later proposals may increase Giovannilandian support whether militarily or by other means. I reiterate that this decision was made by the Giovannilandian people through our representatives in their best interest for our nation. Given there's nothing else to discuss, I declare this Emergency Session closed." The Prime Minister then went back to her official residence in order to coordinate various domestic and external affairs including ones related to the Zoranian Civil War, convinced that this was the best decision to take for Giovanniland, Zoran and Aura.

A day after Waholi sent out the call, generals of the monarchist cause gathered at the central headquarters to discuss the future of the war. Waholi is the highest ranking general there and is the de facto leader of the faction until they find Atsil. Their main concerns that they are going to address are Atsil’s location, the bombing of Zoradia, organization of the government until they find Atsil, and plans for the offensive.
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for heading my call. The war has begun and already there has been a tragedy. The bombing of Zorardia, which is still going on, is a waste of resources and a tragedy for all Zoranians. For now we cannot do much, all we can do is stay away from the city. But we have another pressing matter that we need to address.” He directs everyone’s attention to a tv screen he has on a stand that shows the video of Atsil being escorted away by CGZ.
“Atsil Ani’-Wah’, the current head of the Ani’-Wah’ family and the person we, along with a majority of the people who support our cause, believe should rule the country as queen, is currently in an unknown location. CGZ’s ‘mythical’ and illusive hideout is where she is most likely located but no one knows its location. We have tried scouts, intelligence, tracking, etc. to try and locate her to no avail. So I had no choice but to look towards a more supernatural means of locating her.” One of the generals, General Nilesa, chuckled at this,
“Waholi, I didn’t take you for a spiritual man. I know you are religious but I didn’t take you to be the person who would turn to something so unrealistic.” Waholi looked at them with a stern gaze before they spoke,
“Neither did I until we ran into a dead end. I had no choice but to accept the assistance of the Saint Markian seers in locating her.” The whole room burst into laughter until another general spoke,
“With all due respect sir, resorting solely on something as ‘mystical’ as seers does not seem to inspire much confidence in us.” Waholi nodded in an understanding manner,
“While I understand that sentiment, we have no choice. Tell me, has any of you found a lead that would let us find Atsil?” The laughter died down as the question was asked and all the generals sat in silence and with slight embarrassment at the fact that they had no better lead on the whereabouts of Atsil.
“Exactly as I thought,” said Waholi with a smirk on his face, “according to the Saint Markan seers, Atsil is not in danger with CGZ, in fact she plans on leaving from hiding soon. But she is in danger from the ‘basket weaver’s son,’ whoever that is. So there is a chance Atsil is coming out of hiding but we cannot be certain on that. If she does come back then we must be ready to protect her and bring her here. I believe everyone knows the procedure that should occur.” The generals in the room nodded, all of them knew what they must do if Atsil is found, they will do as much as they can to be sure she is safe and that she is with them.
“Good, keep your men on the lookout and tell your scouting parties to keep their eyes peeled for any signs of her return. Now, we must get onto the issue of the actual government organization until she returns.” Waholi then pulled out a manilla folder with documents detailing how the provisional government would run.
“I suggest that we let the people have a voice in our affairs too. But, we cannot let them have a voice in sensitive issues that require secrecy. So we have them send representatives to a public building where they can make some decisions until we get Atsil here to form an official government.”
“But sir,” said a younger general, General Quvmate, “why are we letting Atsil form the new government entirely? Sure we want her to be queen but that seems like a bit of an odd idea to me.” His comment was followed by a few agreeing nods in the room,
“Well, Atsil has been studying political sciences in university. She also has experience through the internship she was doing under her father before this mess started. She is also a bright woman whose actions remind me of her father. While my faith in her is somewhat based on the idea that she might be like her father, I still firmly believe that it should be up to the future queen to create the government. We are all just men and women who know of military strategy, with a basic understanding of politics. That is why we form a provisional government with civilian representation to help legislate and make decisions while we deal with the conflict. What we need to do is send people to different parts of the country that we control and spread word to vote on a representative for the Zoranians in that district. From there we can have some order and support from the people while also providing services to those in need. Does anyone have any objections to this idea?”
The room was quiet as the generals looked at each other to see their reaction to this plan. None of them had any better ideas so they did not object to this plan. All of them knew that they could not win a war without support from the people and as the most popular faction in this war, they had to ensure that they take care of the people and build further support in the country. With no objections Waholi nodded before bringing up a map of the country on the screen.
“Now we must discuss our plan for the war. I believe that our biggest threat is the Corporates. After the Divine Shaman’s denouncement of the religious fanatics they will lose any support that they possibly had and will collapse within a few months. The GDC is disorganized, corrupt, and wasting resources on the bombing of Zoradia. So the corporates are our biggest adversary. Should the theocrats collapse, I believe that the corporates will take control of the province to the east. I say we prevent them from having a connected territory on the northern island in advance by attempting to take the province they control to the south. We already have men in the territory we control on the southern border of that province so we can attack them on two fronts.” Waholi said as he pointed at the provinces he was referring to with a stick.
“What about the two theocratic provinces to the southwest of one of our northernmost provinces? If the theocrats collapse as you say then shouldn’t we send men there to secure control as soon as possible?” said General Quvmate.
“Yes, in fact I will let you lead the offensive on those two provinces. Make sure to avoid civilian casualties as often as possible.” said Waholi. The generals further discussed their plans for the war.

Libterraria signs up. Although Libterraria has enough capacity to host the tournament, it wishes not to this year, unless no other option is available.

Hertfordshire and Jammbo wishes to enter this football tournament. (Prototypes for potential team logo below)
                                                     
Hertfordshire and Jammbo is also in the process of weighing up the pros and cons of putting in a bid to host the tournament. Decision will be reached in the next few days.
 
NOTE: Hertfordshire and Jammbo has decided not to bid for hosting of the 1421 Football World Cup. This is not because we do not wish to, we very much do want to host the tournament, but rather because we doubt anyone would want to play in a country where the coldest places are ice caps, the warmest places tend not to reach 10oC, 22m/h winds are almost constant, 93m/h winds in the south aren't uncommon and even 120m/h winds are prone to happening in the south-west reaches. Even in summer, which it is in H&J, it is still what many who have already bid for hosting would consider a cold autumn day.
Also more importantly, Hertfordshire and Jammbo is rather isolated from the rest of the world, in its own harsh yet picturesque part of the land. We would bloody love to host though and have the capacity to do so.
