FHAENGSHIA TAHDAONI AE ESFAERIADH
Fhaengshia Esferiad Committee
Flying from Fhaendhaw to Quoriv aboard chartered flights for the setting up and the opening ceremony, the Fhaengshian Esferiadians and support crew flew on larger foreign made jets capable of carrying larger amounts of passengers further distances than the locally made Juortiel J-8's that flew the Fhaengshian First XI Cricket team to Larxia. Though all were under the National flag carrier of Air Fhaengshia.
The delegation was proud to parade in the national colours during the grand opening ceremony before dispersing between the two cities for the upcoming events. Swimmers and Sailers left for Kharventhin in Blue Bubble, Keppoeni Ianjid came close to qualifying for the semifinals of the 200m freestyle on day 1, but both Joilstuim Mourtnad and Kolstae Murei qualified for the one person dinghy sailing finals also in the Blue Bubble city, though both failed to reach the podium in the final. In team sports the Water Polo team had a rocky start, but the Basketball team in Quoriv was more successful.
Day 2 saw the windsurfing participants struggle in a large pack of competitors, and the Water Polo and Basketball teams both suffered losses. Day 3 sees more sailing and swimming, the start of track and field events and continuation of the team sports, the athletes are keen to get the nation onto the medal tally as more events open up during the 2 week event.

In November of 762AF, the final pushes of Giovannilandian forces into the mainland territory of Gheffian would see the surrender of King Soetihn to Emperor Giovanni. Crown Prince Meisinh who was leading the forces in Gheffian ordered a retreat through the forest into Shenia to attempt to build back for a counterattack that would never come. Similar to the 36AF and 84AF attacks from Shenia into the then Kingdom of Gheffa, the forest along the border was set ablaze.
Gheffian Poet Leiluo wrote of the fires:
Lost in the fires of that night, Now ash resting on a new plains, Those surviving fled in fright, A forest burned, a people shamed, Quick as it was, memory fools us, Lasting an eternity of smoke and flame, The fire’s out, but now we discuss, A new emperor, our land entrained, To suffer the lashing of whips and tongues, And last each night, eyes inflamed, Keep your neck straight, lest it be hung, We live as cattle now, without aim, Were we abandoned, left alone, A prince locked deep, in the mountains, Parental sins, for which he must atone, A nation burned, a dynasty shamed.- United Adaikes, Chris, Zoran and 3 others

BOUNTY ON THE INLAND SEA
10-05-1421. story by Lurienh Geonts.
Larxia. Landing in La Marina in the deep south of Andolia, the Republic's cricket team, the Bounty Hunters, went straight to the nets to stretch their legs and get the last bit of practice in before the tournament began. Facing Darkesian Sea rivals Giovanniland in the first round of the group matches, the Bounty Hunters were not going to take unnecessary risks. Fielding first, the team weren't able to make a major impact, with the conservatively playing Aurans only losing 6 wickets but also not running away with a high run score. Knowing they just had to aim for a higher run rate, the Bounty Hunters played a straight game and while losing an extra wicket, beat Giovanniland with plenty of time to spare.
Following the draw between other Auran teams Dilber and Saint Mark in the same group stage, Fhaengshia stands at the top of the group showing what Andolian cricket is all about. The host team Larxia won their match against United Adaikes, in Group A, while Hertfordshire and Jammbo couldn't quite stop the sporting powerhouse of Cambria. Overall a good result for the continental teams. Other Auran Islander teams fared better than Giovanniland with wins going to Blue Bubble, Santos-Dominius and Zoran, with Nieubasria being the other winner of the first Match Day.
La Marina, the host for Group C and the Bounty Hunters for now, sits on Lake Falcon; the largest lake in Andolia, and is a tourist hotspot for the region. Though it's a little further away, and not as well known as the more populous capital, New Larxia, La Marina offers a new experience for the tourists with Fhaengshian fans treated to exotic seafood cooked in the southern style. Those that came to watch the Bounty Hunters have scored a bountiful treasure in this hunt for gold.

Diary of Ejaihl Leliers
We had to work for it today. Pallandole were better than expected and we got sloppy. We got the win but we should’ve won by a larger margin. Safdli and Lartoih are leading defence practice tonight while Jafhaena and I watch the matches of other high profile teams for strategy. We’re mainly watching the Polaris nations as expected. I’m feeling different about the Dalimbari after that match yesterday, I wouldn’t be surprised if any call for asylum. From what little I’ve been able to see so far, United Adaikes is a nice place, Jafnoettuo and Iotehps say it’s a bit like if Lower Gheffian had the money Fhaendhaw does. We got pushed to the top of the table and tomorrow seems like it should decide the ranks for the most part. I think Libterraria is the only team out of Doll Guldur. Jafhaena wants us to build momentum with a big win over them. Mirla says they’ll be ok for the match, but ankles don’t un-sprain overnight. Laenhe has been in good form and will be starting. Better rest up and if we win I’ll let myself have some of that nice pasta I’ve heard about.

Diary of Ejaihl Leliers
Today I met the Director of the Cultural Commission, she wanted to wish the team well in the upcoming World Cup. The old granite buildings filled with government employees were a part of Fhaendhaw I didn’t go to often, the twisting streets were an invitation to get lost. Luckily my driver new the place well. Tomorrow I’ll be landing in the United Adaikes’ new sports precinct, I’ve seen pictures and it’s a far cry from the labyrinth I was in today. I hope my Common is up to scratch for the northerners, but I’ll be spending most of my time with Jafhaena planning out the group stage strategies.
———
It’s been a rush, the atmosphere’s been amazing but each night I arrive in my hotel exhausted. The match against Giovanniland went alright, could’ve been better, but could’ve been worse too. We held them off in the first half nicely right up to to last couple minutes when their AM scored. We were able to get even in the second half and stall till the end. Then we faced down Dalimbar, we all hear stories about what goes on in that wasteland, and it scares the kids at home, but facing real Dalimbari is another thing. It felt good. We held the line against them just as we planned and did better than hoped honestly, especially after that hell of a match between them and Larxia. A draw against the group favourite is good, there’s a couple teams I think we can get points from so that should see us to the knockouts. But one match at a time. Need to sleep for tomorrow against Pallandole, they haven’t scored yet and we won’t give them any chances.

Civics for Dummies - The Most Gilt Republic of Fhaengshia
Without getting into all the nuts and bolts of sessions and prorogation, resignations and vacancies, quorums and on and on. This guide aims to provide the important information needed to understand just how the Government works here in Fhaengshia.
The current system, the 3rd Republic, began with the current constitution being the final document out of the previous Supreme Court after the collapse of the 2nd Republic. The Constitution came into effect on the 1st of October, 1356, a day now celebrated as Constitution Day. This is the day after National Day which celebrates the end of the Kingdom of Fhaengshia back in 1218.
There is a key date from the constitution, the 3rd Saturday of January. Every five years there is a cycle of 3 events that happen on this day over three years. The first is the Census, this last happened in 1418, and it splits the nation into Local Council Areas (LCAs) of close to 20’000 people. The year after the Census has Local Council elections on the 3rd Saturday of January, where five Councillors are elected for each LCA. The five councillors elect one amongst them to become Mayor. And the year after Local Council elections is the Grand Assembly election, where a Grand Assembly Member is elected from each LCA, 728 in total.
Grand Assembly Members are split into 13 groups, one for each territory. This is for making laws that only affect the territory. They are also split into 6 groups for the first vote the Grand Assembly holds after its election; voting for the Senior Councillors. Each of the 6 groups vote one of their members to become a Senior Councillor, this is for the full 5 year term and the same member can’t be elected twice in a row.
The 6 Senior Councillors are part of Cabinet and they elect a Member of the Grand Assembly to be Consul for the full 5 year term, also the same member can’t be elected Consul twice in a row.
Grand Assembly members then vote 24 of themselves (from those amongst them that are qualified justices) to sit on the Civil and Criminal Supreme Courts (12 on each). These justices sit for the full 5 years, and can be elected repeatedly.
After that, the Grand Assembly votes 60 of themselves to be the National Council. The National Councillors sit for the full 5 years, and can’t be elected twice in a row. The National Council, along with the Supreme Courts, and the 24 highest ranking military officers of the Fhaengshian Armed Forces make up the Grand Council.
A Consul was mentioned before, but there are two Consuls, the other Consul is elected for life. This begins with 5 National Councillors nominating a member of the Grand Assembly. When the majority of National Councillors agree on a list of nominees that each have 5 National Councillors nominating them (and no-one nominating more than one nominee) then a secret ballot is held by the Grand Assembly to elect the Consul from the list.
One thing the Consul for life does is choose a Chief Justice for each of the Supreme Courts. This is only for 1 year, and they can only be Chief Justice for 2 years in a row. The 2 Chief Justices alongside the 6 Senior Councillors and the 2 Consuls make up Cabinet. Cabinet is in charge of managing what happens day to day in the Grand Assembly, the National and Grand Councils, and the Supreme Courts. To manage the 12 mainland territories, Cabinet chooses a member of the National Council to become a Governor for each group of Grand Assembly members. These 12 Governors serve for the full 5 year term, but can only be Governor once.
Any member or councillor or justice who is elected to a new position no longer sits in their old position, for example someone can’t be a Governor, National Councillor and Grand Assembly member at the same time.
Laws for a territory only need to have a majority of the Grand Assembly members of that territory voting for it, then approval from the Governor assigned to that territory. Laws for the nation need a majority in both the Grand Assembly and the Grand Council. Cabinet can veto a law, but if it receives a majority again from both chambers it is then law.
Sounds confusing? It was made to try and balance some autonomy for the regions, and guaranteeing they have at least some say in the larger picture. Also it tries not to give too much power to any one group, and allows the military and justices to have a small say so there is perspective (but also to prevent coups or too many laws being struck down which is what ended the 2nd Republic). There’s also a really important Grand Committee Against Corruption which checks on all areas and has a whole bunch of even more complicated methods for its election, but other than the investigation in 1408, not much interesting comes out from there.

HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS
4-12-1420. story by Lurienh Geonts.
Dilber. With the Fujansk Landslag coming off from a draw in their toughest match in the tournament so far, the Mountaineers had some R & R at base camp during their bye and took advantage of the civil freedoms in Dilber to prepare for a match where they had nothing to lose. This was as good as it was going to get for the Mountaineers, and with nothing on the line except their pride they put in their all. The incredible defence of the Landslag was always going to ensure a low scoring match, and with only a single converted try and not even a penalty, Fujansk promises were kept.
Only it was the Mountaineers who were able to haul themselves over the summit of the try line. An early score punished punters, as despite the advantages the Mountaineers had, they were still clear underdogs. While it was the Fujansk Landslag that had their third ever loss, it was a day for upsets as favourites and defending champions Hertfordshire and Jammbo suffered their very first defeat.
After finishing the match, the Mountaineers climbed their way across the city in a pub crawl that is sure to see many red eyes on the 7 hour flight back to Fhaendhaw whenever they finish. Once they miss the lazy gulf beaches, and local BD rum, the Mountaineers will face a lukewarm return, as though redeemed in their latest match, there are expectations to improve their performance for future events. For now, the Mountaineers are making friends with the locals and other tourists, while punters punt their predictions, preparing penultimate potentials.

DEFEAT FROM THE JAWS OF VICTORY
02-12-1420. story by Lurienh Geonts.
Dilber. Facing a top contender for the group stage in the United Adaikes Sharks, the Mountaineers needed to win, and win big to have a chance of progressing to the quarter finals. The first half looked rough facing down two tries in quick succession with only a drop goal from trusty kicker Neijstoi Rallesn racking up points for the Mountaineers. But when the second half came around, a well timed interchange got fresh legs on the field in the form of Detshaer Riemlaic who was instrumental in the Mountaineers’ two tries of the match. With only a 4 point lead, the Sharks stalled for time to finish a lacklustre half, but a win regardless.
A bye tomorrow gives some time to prepare for the match with the Fujansk Landslag, who face the Sharks tomorrow in what could be the biggest match of the group. The runner-up of the last tournament, very comfortably 2nd in the rankings, offer the Mountaineers a formidable peak to scale. The indomitable team managed to slip past the Sharks in the group rankings with a solid victory against Larxia, and have conceded only 9 points, the least of all teams in the tournament. But with both the Sharks and the Mountaineers being the highest scoring teams in Group D, the Fujansk defences are going to be put through the ringer.
Facing an early end to the tournament, coach Sanreig Hraic offered little in excuses, “the team has played well in their first internationals, but always just short of getting a win.” It’s unlikely the Mountaineers will dally in Dilber, as many appear keen to return home. Perhaps they want to get high and dry in the Mountain Amphitheatre of Oune, far away from the jaws of lions and sharks.

RUGBY RETREAT RISKS RECKONING
01-12-1420. story by Lurienh Geonts.
Dilber. After arriving later than expected the national rugby team, the Mountaineers, were fortunate with the tournament having been pushed back a day for unknown but seemingly controversial purposes. That is where luck for the Mountaineers dried up faster than a puddle in Enuo. Facing a defensive Saint Markan Royal Rugby team, the Lions, many Mountaineers were mauled when daring too deep into the Lions’ den. The first half alone saw 6 turnovers for Saint Mark, with Lions flanker Gregor Napoli winning half of those.
Giving up a try within the first 15 minutes, Mountaineers captain Hoifte Ikroeh knew it was going to be tough, and was able to make room for fly-half Neijstoi Rallesn to score a drop goal over the Lions’ heads just before half time leaving the score at 7-3. This appeared to be the strategy adopted for the match as all of the Mountaineers’ points came from drop goals and penalties. The Lions, perhaps a little too fierce in their defence gave up two easy penalties with offside players, but the score remained too steep to scale with a second try scored in the 62nd minute, without conversion.
When the full time buzzer sounded, the Lions had 22 points with 3 tries and a penalty, to the Mountaineers’ 12 points. Interviewed post game, Ikroeh acknowledged the need for the Mountaineers to clean up their game. With the game against the Larxian Rugby team shortly afterwards, perhaps there wasn’t enough time as this ended with another loss in the group stages in a low scoring match.
With both teams going on the offence early, it was a surprise to see the first half empty of tries ending at 3-3 after penalty kicks. A strong line out catch by the Larxians led to the single try of the match by Larxian winger Willie Naholo, but being right on the sidelines proved too much for kicker Michael Davies. After winning another penalty, the Mountaineers were within striking distance of their first win, but Davies redeemed himself with a second penalty rounding out the buzzer with a win for Larxia. The final score, 6-11, leaves the Mountaineers at the bottom of the table and with the next match against the United Adaikes Sharks at the top of the table, blood is in the water.

A GREEN BEACON ON TRHEIN BAY
28-11-1420. story by Oepia Jaehn.
Fhaendhaw, FH. Following yesterday’s story on New Larxia Holdings’ (NLH) investment choices, ‘the Spectator’ reached out to CEO Neal Hardy for an interview to help clean the air. Hardy stated NLH’s position as “to reduce the effects of industries on the environment” and their desire to “have a powerful position in the company to implement changes.” NLH holds a very diversified portfolio within Larxia, and they have quite the history as an activist investor, notably with the education sector.
When asked to clarify questions of ownership of NLH, Hardy replied “New Larxia Holdings is jointly owned by King Maddy IV in his private capacity, and by the government.” Given the active role the King is known for, Fhaengshians may be asking themselves if they agree with this direction of foreign investment in private industry. The King’s stated vision is “That economy and environment should go hand in hand” and this has been the case within Larxia.
In related news cabinet has ordered the reserve bank to purchase foreign currency to limit the effect of recent foreign investment increasing the value of the szchequinn. When asked if this amounted to currency manipulation, Senior Councillor Fhiabert Aneihl replied “Of course not, Cabinet wants what is best for the nation and nettlesome outfits like ‘the Spectator’ often can’t see the forest for the trees.” SC Aneihl, as most would know chairs Telefive, a rival media company that no longer physically prints. Perhaps paperless patricians can’t perceive trees at all.

HOT STOCK OFF THE PRESS
27-11-1420. story by Oepia Jaehn.
Fhaendhaw, FH. Markets are in a frenzy as New Larxia Holdings (NLH) has made a series of investments, including acquiring 40% of upstart but potentially legally troubled refrigerator manufacturer iGerator for $16 million. This was after direct negotiations with founder Chorien Goents who was featured in a previous publication. Goents is likely very relieved as iGerator is facing a heavy legal battle against industry leader International Appliances. The cash influx sets the ground for a testy court battle which could even end up in the Civil Supreme Court.
Also NLH has sent the Fhaendhaw Stock exchange (FSE) into a frenzy with a large buy order for Aiarn Chemical, a local manufacturer of pesticides and fertiliser agents. We reached out to Aiarn Chemical CEO Lienho Tosird who had this to say, “the international attention shows the tremendous opportunities we at AC [Aiarn Chemical], and in fact all of Fhaengshia have to offer.” The current order looks likely to complete with NLH buying 20% of all shares for $150m. Aiarn Chemical has come under controversy in the past due to fish deaths in Trhein Bay, this focus appears to show the international community is undisturbed as the stock price has now rebounded.
On another front, Falco Paints looks set to build a new factory in the impoverished city of Bhein, BH. The privately owned MNC has finalised negotiations with government officials for favourable taxation with the stipulation that locally owned industries are used for materials. This has sent speculators on the FSE flocking to FP Industries as they face an influx of customers for both their chemical division and their packaging materials division. Bhein Distilling Company CEO Meisinh Gellaeni remarked "Bhein's always been known for our rum, hopefully folks'll not drink any paint from 'ere!" Falco Paints also appears to be looking for office space within Fhaendhaw for their local HQ, this reporter knows a building or two that could use a fresh lick of paint.

REFRIGERATOR MARKET HEATING UP
27-11-1420. story by Siemehrt Nhaie.
Trhein, TR. A new competitor in the red-hot refrigerator industry is coming hot on the heels of major players with innovations that could be chilling to established rivals. Founder Chorien Goents, formerly of Crystal and Pane, a glass manufacturer in Ganfa, SH, has announced the formation of her new company iGerator. Goents held a press conference presenting the iGerator model 575. When asked what makes the 575 different from other models on the market Goents cooly replied “There’s a window here, that lets you see what’s in your, refrigerator”.
The new executive had founded iGerator by selling her 10% stake in Crystal and Pane to construction materials company Caename. Industry giant Gaenis Mirhten, CEO of International Appliances has thrown cold water on the unveiling claiming violation of patents in their HY and KU models. In a chilling statement Mirhten claimed “their technology, it’s a complete rip on our, refrigerators”. Mirhten later announced that Shaellen & Uostan have been contracted to prosecute the ice-cold claims.
Tahdierf Ohkelhn, CEO of FP Industries, a plastics manufacturer who stands to profit from more customers, appears to have red-hot expectations saying “you gotta admit, that is such a cool looking, refrigerator”. Ohkelhn then went to ramble on about cyclopentane and it’s use as both a refrigerant and for manufacturing polyurethane, but for some reason continued to end all their sentences with “refrigerator”.

GEOGRAPHY
Located on the northern coast of Andolia, Fhaengshia covers an area of 462,346 square km (178,513 square miles), including the islands of Caendhai, Imallier, and Liciah. To the north, the marshy tropical coastline of Ahfeginsi is dominated by wetlands bordering the Darkesian Sea, and is separated from the arid plateau dominating a third of the country with the Greater Shihganfean mountain range rising up to 3921m at Mt. Oune. Soil condition in the north is poor being predominantly sandy clay, the eastern coast provides the most fertile land with Binah being the largest of the lakes providing year-round irrigation. West of the mountain range, spring snowmelt from the peaks drain down to seasonal lakes in Enuo and Aneiane on the Aiarn Plateau which primarily provides for subsistence agriculture for most of the plateau region. The lower plains and forests to the south of the plateau are sparsely populated due to inaccessibility as the majority of the population lives along the east coast with the bulk on Caendhai island.
Climate: Tropical in the north with rainy seasons along the north and east coasts Apr-May and Oct-Dec. Coastal mean annual rainfall of approximately 2400mm; average daily temperature range 22-31ºC (71-88ºF). The plateau interior at an average elevation of 1800m (1.12 miles) experiences cooler conditions with a mean range of 5-20ºC (41-68ºF) with 400mm rainfall. High humidity of over 80% cover most of the coastline in Oct-Dec.
POPULATION
Total population (November 1420 est.) is 14,566,641, of which 35% live in urban areas. Population density (1420 est.) is 31.5 persons per square km (81.6 persons per square mile). Ethnic composition: Predominantly Fhaengshian with significant Shihganfean, Gheffian, Aiarn and Shenian minorities.
Birth rate 14/1000. Death rate 6/1000. Rate of population increase .8% (1420 est.). Age distribution under 15 = 19%; over 64 = 7%. Life expectancy female 74; male 70; average 72. Infant mortality 16/1000 live births.
Major Cities & towns
Fhaendhaw (Capital) 2,420,000 Ganfa 809,000 Gheffa 780,000 Finsi 415,000 Religion: Predominantly Shih, 48% of the population are Reformed-Shih (reformed in 940 AF). A mixture of other faiths comprise a further 17% minority.

Ganfa is an official regional language with three major dialects (Northern, Aiarn and Shenian) being the first language to roughly 55% of the population. Common is frequently spoken in the trading ports of Fhaendhaw, Gheffa and Finsi and a basic level is taught in most schools.
CONSTITUTION & GOVERNMENT
Executive & Legislature: The Consuls are the head of state with executive authority, by convention following advice from a cabinet. The bicameral legislature is composed of the Grand Assembly and the Grand Council. The first Consul is elected for life with the second Consul elected by the Senior Councillors to a single, non-renewable 5 year term. The current constitution was written in 1356. Justices of the Supreme Courts and top military officials sit alongside elected members in the Grand Council. Last elections were held in January 1420.

(this option is subject to Cartography Board approval)Any other inspirations or concepts you want to share: The Most Gilt Republic of Fhaengshia is located on the northern coast of Andolia. The fertile east coast and southern forests contrast with the arid central plateau which has extensive mining and only subsistence agriculture. The northern coast has soil that is predominantly sandy clay and has little plant life but hosts most of the nations chemical industry with significant oil and gas reserves off the coast.
A large proportion of the population live on Caendhai island, particularly in the capital Fhaendhaw which is the economic and political centre of the nation. Most of the mainland is split into 12 territories, with the rest of the nation being the national territory. The territories have no regional governments but have committees filled with the Grand Assembly (GA) members who are elected from the Local Council Areas within each territory, the committees are chaired by a Governor appointed by Cabinet. Elections are held every 5 years. Cabinet is chaired by a Consul elected for life by the GA and a Consul elected for the 5 year electoral term by the 6 Senior Councillors in Cabinet who are elected by GA members based on 6 clusters or groupings of territories. Cabinet is also joined by the Chief Justices of both the Civil and Criminal Supreme Courts, who are chosen for 1 year terms by the Consul (lifetime).
The current constitution was written in 1360 and created the 3rd Republic of Fhaengshia after over a decade of civil unrest and effective government shutdown under minority governments in the 2nd Republic due to the 12 mainland territories not having suffrage due to their status as colonies at the time. Domestic policy is still a major focus as the government tries to bridge the divide between the mostly urban and much wealthier national territory and the mostly rural mainland territories. This has been assisted by the discovery of oil and gas reserves off the north coast, but the rapidly growing chemical industry and older mining industries on the plateau are criticised for their poor environmental record.

II Summer Esferiad Roleplay/IC
in Roleplay - How the West Was Won
Posted
FHAENGSHIA TAHDAONI AE ESFAERIADH
Fhaengshia Esferiad Committee
From the grounds of the Grand Esferic Stadium in Downtown Quoriv, the same stadium where the whole of Esferos watched all the competing athletes in the grand opening ceremony, the Fhaengshian 4x100m Relay Run team got the nation onto the leaderboards. After days of nail-biting misses and disheartening mistakes and failures, the team of Laerets, Eshiwne, Mihrten and Cedroeh won not only a place on the podium, but are bringing back gold for the most gilt republic.
Laerets and Eshiwne had both suffered a lapse of concentration in the individual heats missing out on advancing, Mihrten had closely missed qualifying for the finals in the 110m hurdles which is his preferred event to the 100m run, and Cedroeh did the best of the delegation, but just missed qualifying in the individual heats. Together though, they made a resilient team which saw the fruits of their training together in the tropical heat.
