    Varanius' Amazing Rugby Assembly
    zzzzzzzz

    Tim Perdere had been a mid-level bureaucrat for what had felt like ages now. In reality, it had only been a little under a decade. He had been in the Ministry of Cultural Enrichment since he was 29, and now he was a ripe old 38. Certainly one of the youngest senior government official in Varanius in ages, he had worked himself all the way up to Assistant Vice Co-Director of the Physical Activities Sub-Division of the Televised Media Department. Hardly the most glamorous job in the world, but he felt the future was bright. Well, it was certainly feeling cloudy right about now. And to think, he let some stupid refugee and a some suburban rugby dad talk him into this. Whatever. Best to look towards the future right? Now he could proudly serve as Varanius' first ever Minister of Winning. Minister of Winning? What a joke of a position. What even is that? Sure he advocated for a ministry dedicated to real international sporting events, but surely they could've named it something reasonable? Varanius had never had an international sporting team. Sports had always been internal for the nation. Something the citizens to celebrate, not the world to ogle at. He had gone out on a real limb for that Joe Schmoe fellow to get the Minister of Cultural Enrichment to even consider sending a Varanian team to any such World Cup, much less devote a whole Ministry to its' coordination? But now he was here. Ah well, he may as well do the one thing he always excelled at: mindless government drivel. Now with the added bonus of talking to the Dalimbari. Given the team's star player was a damned Dalimbari refugee, some calls had to be made to ensure he wouldn't be arrested on entry. He picked up the phone lying on his desk, and dialed the number the Ministry of Foreign Engagement had emailed to him hours before. After a solid few rings, the other end answered.
     
    “Good day! Is this Lev Toksin?” he asked.
    "Privet?" the phone responded, the raspy voice of a woman surely no younger than 60 behind the machine.
    “I’m sorry, I don’t speak Dalimbari I’m afraid. I suppose you don’t understand Common?”
    "Izvinite, chot?" 
    “Ah,” he stops for a moment, considering his options. “Do you speak Kommom, rodniy?” he asked in a heavily offensive attempt at a Dalimbari accent, likely one which would get him hate crimed if he spoke it in Dalimbar itself.
    "Keto eto? Chot vy govorite?" 
    “Perhaps I have the wrong nu-“
    “Chortovy deti, otlozhite telefon!" she declared as the call abruptly ended. 
     
    The Minister sighed. He should be used to the failures of his fellow government members by this point, but who can blame a bureaucrat for having some hope? He took another look at the email Diplo had sent him, and squinted just hard enough to realize he had mistaken one of the numbers, a 5, for a 6. This was probably still their fault somehow. Despite being somewhat put-off from his last encounter, he picked up the phone, dialed the (correct) number, and waited for the phone to pick up.
     
    “Greetings! Do I have Lev Toksin?”
    “Indeed you do. How may I be of assistance?”
    “Lovely. I am Tim Perdere, the newly appointed Varanian Minister of Winning, and I-“
    “I’m sorry, you’re the what?”
    The Minister sighed once again, his sole pleasure being that Toksin could not see the exasperated look on his face. “I am the Minister of Winning of Varanius, and I’ve come to inquire about the upcoming Rugby Cup to be hosted in Dalimbar.”
    “Minister of Winning? What even is tha- I mean, interesting. What do you need to know?”
    The minister could hear the faint sound of a snap, or perhaps a small clap, in the background, but ultimately ignored it. Trying to maintain some sense of dignity, he responded, “I’d like to request blue cards for the Varanian Rugby team members who will be in attendance. Their names and identities will be emailed to you shortly.”
    “Ah. Well, I’ll run it by Stavka, who will have the final say, but I’ll be sure to update you as soon as possible. Was that all?”
    “Close. I’d like it to be noted that one of the team members, by the name of Joe Schmoe, is a refugee to Varanius from whom Dalimbar is their original country of origin. Will there be any issue in sending them to Dalimbar with the rest of the team? We’d expect they be treated with the dignity and respect of any other participant, and be allowed to return home.”
    “I see. I’ll be sure to make note of this.”
    “Well, that’s all. Much appreciated.”
    “Not a problem! Have a wonderful day Mr. Perdere.”
    “You too,” Tim ended as he went to set the phone down, just barely catching the “Motherfu-“ right as the line went dead.
     
    Later that month
     
    With that issue out of the way, it was time to get started on some of the harder details for the group. Namely, their symbol and jersey. While all of the members of the team had been assembled months ago, the graphic aspects had been unfortunately skipped over in the early organization frenzy. Tim entered the room where these discussions were to take place: one of the smaller meeting rooms in the gargantuan Cultural Enrichment building at the heart of Zygotia. While technically a Minister in his own right, he hadn’t quite the earned the honor of his own office building…or much of a staff. The other members of this meeting included quite the cast of characters. Joe Schmoe of course, as the upcoming cultural icon this whole thing was built upon, was not the only team representative in attendance. Alongside him stood Manuel Man, the team coach elevated from relative obscurity to a coordinator of the Varanian sports efforts after ripping open his shirt at a pro-rugby protest outside the capital building. The little stunt took him from the only little weirdo in his neighborhood to pay attention to sports exclusively from other countries to a national sensation. Then was the Ministry of Cultural Enrichment’s Director of Visual Creativity, Arnold Barnold, who was sent in alone as opposed to along with the Cultural Enrichment minister herself as was requested. Though Tim was technically equal to her in rank, he could be Prime Minister and she’d still treat him as an employee. Though, the Director wasn’t bad. One of the most senior officials in the Ministry, he was certainly an experienced member of the team. Finally, the one and only Woman Creosote. WC, as she was also known as, was one of the highest rated and most famous artists in Varanius. How the government had gotten ahold of her he had no idea, but perhaps the other Minister really had pulled some strings for this. It almost made up for her beginning all of her internal cooperation meetings with “To those needing further encouragement than I have already delivered”. But it’s not wise to look a gift horse in the mouth. 
    Immediately they set to work, brainstorming first and foremost the central logo.
    “Hm. What do you think when you think Varanius?” Tim asked the crowd.
    “Eyes?” suggested Arnold.
    “Hm. Perhaps a little overdone, we don’t want to be too obvious,” responded Tim.
    “Perhaps you’re right,” the Director conceded. “Can we turn democracy into a tidy little symbol?”
    “What like a voting machine?” retorted Manuel sarcastically.
    “Got any better ideas?” Arnold smiled back.
    “I’VE GOT IT!” WC screamed. They all immediately turned to look at her, though by now she had already started pulled out her iconic bright green crayon. The group stated in silence, watching her draw her mystery icon with complete confusion on their faces.
    “Is that-“ Manuel began before being immediately interrupted. 
    “Ssssh. Don’t mess with the process,” Tim hushed him.
    Finally, after quite some time, she picked up her paper and turned it around so the rest of the group could see.
    “Is that…an octopus…with a ball for a head?” Tim asked hesitantly.
    “You can’t be serious!” Manuel protested.
    Finally, Joe stood up. Over the past hour, this was truly the first time he had spoken all day. In a thick Dalimbari accent, 3 words emerged from his lips: “I love it”. And with that, there was no going back.
    “We’re gonna be laughed out of the stadium…” Arnold moaned.
    “No,” said Manuel, “we’re going to be heroes.”
     
    After a few hours, and the hammering out of a few key details, the icon was set. Now it was time for the jersey.
    “Do we want to do a nice yellow? Like our flag?” began Arnold, Tim having long since lost his pizzazz for the day, sipping from a large iced coffee and staring intensely into the painting of the jellyfish in front of him. 
    “No no no. I’ve got this one,” Manuel said, with all the undeserved confidence of a poodle. Immediately he started, telling the two actual artists in the room the colors he thought would be best. The end result was…interesting.
    “Are we trying to just confuse the shit out of the enemy team?” Arnold remarked upon its completion.
    “Haven’t you ever heard of Aposematism? Be bright, be bold, and we scare away any potential predators!” Manuel declared.
    “Since when are you a biology expert? And what do you mean ‘scare away’? They’re rugby players, not lions,” 
    “Guys, guys,” Tim said, having finally snapped back to reality. “Let’s just go with it, it can’t be worse than the 8 legged egghead.”
     
    Manuel beamed. Woman Creosote was much less amused.
     
    One month later
     
    Sitting at his desk, Tim had finally received the long awaited email from the Dalimbari Department of Sport. The email was a notification the DoS has accepted their applications for blue cards. Relieved, Perdere smiled. Off to Dalimbar they would soon go.

    A panicked fist pounded on the door.
    Erik rolled over in his hotel bed, hand padding around in the dark for the lightswitch. He squeezed his eyes shut for the inevitable incandescence once he found it. They blearily blinked at the bedside alarm clock. "Housekeeping at two o'clock in the morning," he grumbled, throwing off the covers and stumbling to the door where urgent knuckles still knocked.
    He didn't bother with the peephole. Pulling the door open, he found Alex Uchechukwu, left wing for the national rugby team of Ostronia and the team's youngest member. The eighteen year old's youthful exuberance had been twisted into youthful anxiety, his brow knitted like a quilt and his eyes too wide and wild for the middle of the night.
    "Mr. Tafa-"
    "I told you to call me Erik, Alex. I'm your captain, not your manager."
    "Yes sir- I mean, yes Erik. Well, it's Yaya and Vil- they're fighting."
    "Fighting?"
    "Yessir. They put the three of us in the same room. Yaya and Vil started arguing, then it came to blows. I couldn't break up the fight, so I came to find you."
    He may have been eighteen, but Alex was built like an ox. He stood shoulders over Erik, who wondered if it was just the kid's nerves that brought him here or violence serious enough to warrant waking him up the night before their first match in the world's largest rugby tournament.
    Erik went back into his room to throw on some joggers, then marched out into the hallway with the kid in tow. They reached Room 314 and heard the thumping and crashing inside. Erik snapped his fingers and Alex handed over his room key. The team captain stepped inside just in time for a porcelain lamp to shatter at his feet.
    Sometimes, the situation called for a disapproving look. Sometimes, it called for a verbal rebuke. Sometimes, it called for a swift kick to the ribs. Erik delivered the latter to Yahaya Gagare's side as he pinned Vilfred Akande to the ground. He rolled off, doubled over in pain, and Akande would have seized the opportunity for his own tackle, if Alex wasn't holding him back at Erik's silent instruction. Vil struggled until he glanced back and saw just who had kicked Yaya. Yaya wiped some blood off his split lip and got back on his feet. The two forwards glared daggers at each other while they prepared their sides of the story for their team captain.
    Erik raised a hand to stop them. "I don't care who started the fight. I don't want to know what started it. I want you both to think on one thing: the number fifteen."
    The tangent worked exactly as intended. The combatants unclenched their fists and raised bewildered eyebrows. Erik found his audience listened better if they were confused rather than angry. He continued.
    "We don't come from Giovanniland. We don't come from Hertfordia. We come from Ostronia. And Ostronia is a poor country. The slogans about our 'development,' our 'economic growth,'- they're just slogans. The reality is we can only afford fifteen."
    "Fifteen what?" Vil interrupted.
    Erik rolled his eyes. Nobody said a rugby player had to be smart. "Fifteen players, Vilfred. The poorest country in Nur can only afford to send fifteen players to represent it before the entire world."
    He picked up a shard of the broken lamp and held it up to the ceiling light. "So far, you've shown me, Alex and Dalimbari housekeeping that it sent the wrong ones."
    The two forwards flicked their eyes to the floor, avoiding Erik's.
    "Tomorrow we play our first opponents in the group stage, Larxia. I can tell you how they're preparing- they're getting a good night's sleep. You two are preparing by giving yourselves sprains and bruises before we've even seen our first scrum. If I had any sort of bench, you'd both be on it, icing your bruises and sitting out the first day of the most important tournament in your careers."
    Erik sighed. "But I don't have a bench. I only have fifteen."
    He stepped out from between them. He couldn't separate them any longer. They had to play together tomorrow afternoon, after all.
    "So tomorrow, remember you're one of fifteen: fifteen in front of the whole world. And remember, while they play our national anthem and the cameras pan over our faces, how it looks to have a black eye from your own teammate."
    With that, the Ostronian team captain left his three teammates to their sobering thoughts.
    He had some more Z's to catch.

    Celebrations Erupt in Saranzio After Departure of National Rugby Team
    Cheering and fireworks can be heard all throughout Newport City and Enterprise after the Saranzio National Rugby Team departs to the distant nation of Dalimbar to participate in the Rugby World Cup. Central government sanctions celebrations.
    Rugby is a moderately popular sport within the nation, but even more popular is representation on the world stage. Many neighborhoods have organized festivities in order to motivate and inspire the players during the competition, with even some local Ministry Churches gathering the choirs to pray for them.
    As access to television continues to grow in Saranzio, it is the first time that many are witnessing an international sports event. "This is probably the most exciting thing we've had here", says Timothy Gale, a teenager from the small town of Blackwater Lake south of Sheridan "I rarely leave this town, and now I get to see countries I've never even heard before on the TV"

    Saranzio squares off against Giovanniland on the 3/27/1423. We can only hope the spirits of Saranzio's people remain high through every match of this World Cup and bring victory to our brave players.

    The goal set for the team is clear, pass on to the next stage, if this goal is achieved the debut will be considered successful, the odds of passing on look varied, since the group contains both some experienced teams and other debutants, so the A.R.R and its members are looking forward to be able to conduct a successful debut.

    The Dowager Countess of Hillborough stood in front of her open fur closet, exasperation showing on the lined face below her elegant coif. Her dresser, Arlswoof, much younger than her lady and much prettier than her name, tried to remain patient. 
    "Well with the social situation still up in the air, I simply cannot decide. We will have to bring them all, Arlswoof."
    "My lady, that would, of course, be the sensible thing to do, but we can't pack them all within the limitations on luggage that were sent. Might I suggest a jacket and coat each of the white, brown, black, and gray? That way my lady will have choices for evening and day, and surely we can coordinate your wardrobe to accommodate these options?"
    The elderly aristocrat sighed. "Very well. That will have to do, I suppose." Although excited to be traveling to Dalimbar for the first time since her honeymoon, and looking forward to watching her nephew play in his sporting game ... what was that again ... Rugby? ... she hadn't realized the trip would be so complicated. She almost regretted suggesting she accompany the Saint Markan delegation.

    Principality Stadium in the background with Hillborough Castle in the foreground
     
    Principality Stadium was constructed three years ago as the official home of the Saint Mark Royal Lions. Funds and the site were donated by Lady Arlene Reston, Dowager Countess of Hillborough and aunt to Paul Reston, the Number Eight for the Lions. She is said to have wanted the arena close enough that she could watch her favorite nephew and his friends as they played. It is a fairly small stadium, with a capacity of 19,000. The artwork decorating the exterior walls was the inspiration of artist Manuel Porjiere and carried out by the students of the Academiae Debiles Artifices.

    Giovannilandian 1423 Election Results!
    Porto Violeto, Giovanniland — In a surprising turn of events, Elisa Anario-Silva of the Partito Laboristo is slated to become the new Prime Minister of Giovanniland once the transition period ends and the new Senato chooses the leader of Giovanniland for a period of at most five years. Elisa's party attained 133 seats in the national legislature in comparison to the 120 seats won by the Partito Soquale-Verde of the presumably outgoing Prime Minister, Amore Gile Abrente. Although the governing power stays in the hands of the same left-wing coalition (PL, PSV and the far-left Partito Komunista), it is Giovannilandian tradition to always have the Prime Minister of a coalition hail from the party with most seats in it. 
    A total of 18,230,986 voters came to the elections, which is a turnout of 75.87% from the total of 24,028,155 citizens with at least 18 years of age. Voters cast their votes for the general election according to their electoral district, where each party chooses one representative to run. Regions and municipalities also elected members to their local legislatures (the Kuria), which in turn choose the leader for the given administrative division.
    The results confirm regional trends seen in previous elections, such as the Partito Violetista's strong appelation as a regional party in northern Lavender Island, as well as the domination of left-wing parties in major cities, bringing a large number of votes for their coalition's candidates. Left-wing voters also prevail in the very populous Giovannia Magna, Altana and Lido Flavi regions, whereas the also densely populated southwestern coast of Lavender Island, namely the Primolido and Abrenosto regions, leans more to the right. 
    Other political analysts focused on a more national overview of trends as seen in various polls. The graph below gathers together several polls by different sources from the start of the year until three days before the elections, and then the actual results themselves with a prevalent bigger dot at the end. Polls aren't always accurate and only serve to show a snapshot of a specific moment rather than to predict, and this is shown by the fact most polls were predicting a Soquale-Verde win or at least a tie, but instead the Labristas gained a 13-seat advantage over their coalition allies. The surge of the Respublikanos, as well as the fall of the Librale-Demokratas, were also movements not well caught by the polls, whereas for the other parties the polls were more or less in line with results. 

     
    In any case, the final results were 133 seats for the Labristas (26.6%), 120 for the Soquale-Verdes (24%) and 72 for the Komunistas in the governing coalition (14.4%), a joint result of 325 seats which makes 65% of the 500-seat Senato. The other 175 seats represent the opposition parties, with the Respublikanos' 111 (22.2%) accounting for more than half of them, followed by 43 for the Librale-Demokratas (8.6%), 17 for the Violetistas (3.4%) and 4 for the Patriotas (0.8%). Parties who gained seats in comparison to the 1418 Senato were the PK, PL and PR, whereas the PSV, PLD, PV and PP lost seats.
    These shifts, besides the obvious effects that they will have in changing the premiership from Amore Gile Abrente to Elisa Anario-Silva, also leave the PR's leader Lauro de Abreo-Florino in a much stronger position to potentially challenge the left-wing coalition in the next elections. Lauro, from the famous Abreo-Florino family that has given several Prime Ministers to Giovanniland in the past, most notably the brothers Tommaso and Kesar that started national industralization in the 12th century, will certainly enjoy influence over his peers from other parties, such as the PLD's Vinikio Lamponi and the PV's Zodeno Fenestella. Also a rising star in politics is the communist leader Valerio Visellio Larone, whose leadership in the party has succeeded in rebuilding the party's influence in Giovannilandian politics after a decline from its previous prominence in the late 13th century.
    Meanwhile, in regards to the overall national vote for the parties, the Labristas led with 4,593,621 or 25.2% of the votes, followed by 4,215,195 or 23.12% for the Soquale-Verdes, 3,442,918 or 18.88% for the Respublikanos, 2,758,706 or 15.13% for the Komunistas, 1,871,580 or 10.27% for the Librale-Demokratas, 1,095,264 or 6.01% for the Violetistas, and lastly 253,702 or 1.39% for the Patriots. Due to the nature of the elections being decided in each prefecture and then summed up to make the national Senato, there can be disparities between the popular vote share and seats distribution, this time benefitting mostly the Respublikanos at the cost of the Violetistas. The final legislation composition is shown below:

     
    With elections concluded, we look forward to what the future holds for the country under new leadership. Although Giovanniland has a new leader from a different party, most stances on key national issues and political ideologies are fairly similar between the outgoing Mrs Abrente and the incoming Mrs Anario-Silva. After all, the new Prime Minister can rely on her predecessor's successes, including but certainly not limited to the Quorivo & Kharventhin Esferiad, the development of environmentally-friendly technology to maintain Giovanniland's position in the group of pioneer nations in this field, and continued improvement in social and economic standards across the nation.
