Giovannilandian Esferiad Report - Grand Finale
26 Gold - 21 Silver - 22 Bronze
Hello, Giovannilandians! I am Karlo Nakamura-Edrense, the host of the Giovannilandian Esferiad Report. Today marks the last edition of this special report before it turns back into our normal Sports Report, and I'm sure both me and many of you will miss the Esferiad. Nevertheless, there's a lot to talk today, as Giovanniland earned 6 medals during the last day and brought its total to 69 medals, of course finishing first in both the gold and total medal rankings. There were several events and the Closing Ceremony happening yesterday, and I'll now talk about those!
In Kharventhin, a few athletes of the Giovannilandian delegation and of course King Giovanni VI were present at the Closing Ceremony. They watched closely as the ceremony started and displayed traditional dances of the native Glendora people, later featuring Lavandulan and Giovannilandian ones as well, to represent those empires. The latter part of this performance featured dancers representing the resistance of Blue Bubble against the Giovannian Empire, and then modern events in that nation, for example the military coup, the push for democracy, and opening of the borders. Athletes from all countries then rode boats also featuring hoisted flags, with Blue Bubble and Giovanniland coming in last.
Following the parade of nations, final medals were awarded and speeches were given by Gabriello Hiberno-Elisano (President of the Quorivo & Kharventhin Organising Committee of the Esferic Games), and Chi Ijendu (Chair of the International Esferiad Commission) on the games. The screen showed the flame in Giovanniland being put out by water from the Violet Lake, as Kassakira Petrovikan and King Giovanni VI both announced the closure of the Esferiad. Finally, a firework display glittering in the reflection of the water brought the ceremony to a perfect end.
As for the events themselves, several team events had their final matches today. Within the multi-purpose Siraka Stadium of Kharventhin, Giovannilandian fans celebrated as the Indoor Volleyball team won three sets to zero against United Adaikes, finishing a stellar performance throughout the tournament. The same happened with Field Hockey, in which Giovanniland tied 2-2 with Cambria on normal time, but later scored once more to make it 3-2 in extra time and win the gold medal. The opposite took place in Football, however, as the Cambric team won 1-0 and the defeated Giovannilandian team finished with silver medal—same as in the I Summer Esferiad, where Giovanniland had lost to Nieubasria. Finally, in Rugby Sevens, a close 21-19 win against Nieubasria earned the Giovannilandian team the bronze medal.
As for the Gymnastics Team All-Arounds event, the athletes Lukiano Annabella-Tappone, Sollenne Sousa Kandido, Silvana Mantovani, Isayas Delliaro-Varrutio, and Romeo Saverri-Mattei all competed under the same team, finishing third in the finals and achieving a bronze medal. Last but not least, the Track Cycling Team Sprint event featured the pairs of Fernandino Quartiano & Vinikio Garrulo Silva, and Kristiana Hermentidio & Alessandra Kanassiro. The former duo eventually disputed the bronze medal with Mary Hadjieva & Galeem Gaismas from Hertfordshire and Jammbo (H&J) and did not succeed, while the latter one received the silver medal after being defeated by the Basric pair of Marley Duncan & Rasequin Foree in the gold medal match.
In summary, the conclusion was that this Esferiad was really awesome for Team Giovanniland! After taking the lead from co-hosts Blue Bubble, our athletes increased our medal count even further, bringing it to 26 golds, 21 silvers and 22 bronzes for a total of 69 medals. Nieubasria furthered their second place lead in both rankings, coming to a total of 16 golds and 48 total medals. Meanwhile, Blue Bubble and H&J were the third-placed teams of the total and gold medal rankings respectively, Blue Bubble beating H&J in total medals 38 to 34, but barely losing in gold medals 10 to 11. As the Esferiad has now come to an end, we have updated its table of each continent's performance, sorted by gold medals, and with parentheses indicating medals gained since our previous census:
Nation Gold Silver Bronze Total Aura Giovanniland 26 (+10) 21 (+8) 22 (+9) 69 (+27) Blue Bubble 11 (+1) 17 (+3) 10 (+2) 38 (+6) Orandia 3 (+1) 2 (+2) 7 (+2) 12 (+5) Santos-Dominius 2 (+1) 1 2 5 (+1) Saint Mark 1 5 5 11 Arifiyyah 1 (+1) 1 (+1) 2 (+2) 4 (+4) Fuentana 0 1 (+1) 0 1 (+1) Dilber 0 0 0 0 Aura 44 (+14) 48 (+15) 48 (+15) 140 (+44) Andolia Hertfordshire and Jammbo 12 (+5) 11 (+6) 11 (+5) 34 (+16) Larxia 3 0 7 (+1) 10 (+1) Tupmonia 1 (+1) 0 2 (+1) 3 (+2) Fhaengshia 1 0 0 1 Nagaraningrad 0 0 0 0 Andolia 17 (+6) 11 (+6) 20 (+7) 48 (+19) Polaris Nieubasria 16 (+5) 19 (+7) 13 (+6) 48 (+18) Tara and Cambray 9 (+4) 9 (+2) 5 (+2) 23 (+8) Fujai 1 1 2 (+1) 4 (+1) United Adaikes 1 (+1) 1 (+1) 2 4 (+2) Teralyon 0 1 0 1 Dalimbar 0 0 0 0 Polaris 27 (+10) 31 (+10) 22 (+9) 80 (+29) Total Aura 44 (+14) 48 (+15) 48 (+15) 140 (+44) Polaris 27 (+10) 31 (+10) 22 (+9) 80 (+29) Andolia 17 (+6) 11 (+6) 20 (+7) 48 (+19) Doll Guldur 0 0 0 0 Esferos 88 (+30) 90 (+30) 90 (+31) 268 (+91) At the end of the Esferiad, Aura continues to dominate all rankings! It has exactly half of all awarded gold medal, and slightly over half (52.24%) of total medals. Polaris solidified its lead over Andolia, which continued in third but nevertheless finished with a fair number of 48 total medals, coincidentally the same as 2nd placed nation Nieubasria. Notably, the nations of Arifiyyah and Fuentana—the two from Aura—also earned all their medals in the last five days of Esferic events, adding up to the Auran total. Moving on, we have updated our all-time medal ranking as well. Nations not participating in the II Summer Esferiad are marked in italics, while those making their international Esferic debut this edition are marked with an asterisk, just like last time. Here we go!
Rank Change Nation Gold Silver Bronze Total 1 - Nieubasria 27 30 20 77 2 - Giovanniland 27 25 24 76 3 - Hertfordshire and Jammbo 20 22 20 62 4 - Tara and Cambray 16 17 20 53 5 - Blue Bubble* 11 17 10 38 6 - Saint Mark 9 5 6 20 7 - Novasamita 8 1 2 11 8 - Zoran 7 6 12 25 9 - Fujai 5 9 7 21 10 - Teralyon 5 7 2 14 11 - Bobki 5 0 1 6 12 - Marble Mallorca 4 3 3 10 13 +2 Orandia* 3 2 7 12 14 -1 Larxia 3 1 11 15 15 -1 Irador 2 5 3 10 16 +2 Santos-Dominius* 2 1 2 5 17 - Fuentana 1 3 2 6 -2 Commonwealth of Victoria 1 3 2 6 19 +5 Arifiyyah* 1 1 2 4 +3 United Adaikes* 1 1 2 4 21 -2 Yorubrailia 1 1 0 2 22 +1 Tupmonia* 1 0 2 3 23 -3 Fhaengshia* 1 0 0 1 24 -3 Reçueçn 0 4 2 6 25 - Dalimbar* 0 0 0 0 26 - Dilber* 0 0 0 0 27 - Nagaraningrad* 0 0 0 0 Continents 1 - Aura 68 64 68 200 2 - Polaris 54 68 53 175 3 - Andolia 27 28 36 91 4 - Doll Guldur 12 4 5 21 Total 161 164 162 487 As you can see, the top 5 countries of the individual all-time rankings have stayed the same, namely Nieubasria, Giovanniland, Hertfordshire and Jammbo, Tara and Cambray, and Blue Bubble. The difference between Giovanniland and Nieubasria now stands at just one medal, with the two countries having 27 golds each, but Nieubasria having 30 silvers in comparison to Giovanniland's 25, and 20 bronzes in comparison to Giovanniland's 24. The other three countries also had significant increases in medal count during the last five days, notably H&J with an increase of 16. There was some change in rankings at the middle of the table, as countries like Orandia, Santos-Dominius, Arifiyyah, United Adaikes and Tupmonia all increased one or more position due to earning more medals.
Meanwhile, in the continent rankings, it can be seen that Aura has somewhat increased its total medal lead over Polaris from 10 to 25, but nevertheless the two continents remain as the sport powerhouses of Esferos. In third place comes Andolia, which earned 19 medals since our last update, while Doll Guldur of course did not earn any medals and continues fourth. It can also be seen that Giovanniland contributes between 35 and 40 percent of Aura's total counts in all rankings, with 27/68 (39.7%) gold medals, 25/64 (39.06%) silver medals, 24/68 (35.29%) bronze medals, and 76/200 (38%) of total medals. Blue Bubble comes next, with 11/68 (16.18%) gold medals, 17/64 (26.56%) silver medals, 10/68 (14.71%) bronze medals, and 38/200 (19%) of the total.
Last but not least, we present the updated version of our medal graph! As said a week ago, the columns of the graph show the medals gained each day, and the total height of each stacked column also informs that day's total. Meanwhile, the lines show our progress throughout the Esferiad, both by each medal type and the grand total. We can see some interesting information, for example that the most medals gained in a day by our team was 10 in the thirteenth day, or that our medal gain increased in the second half (40) as opposed to the first one (29). The graph can of course be seen in the web for viewers' perusal.

This brings us to the end of our Esferiad Report. We hope you liked our Esferic coverage, and our channel will be happy to report on any further regional events that may come in the future. All these reports and event recordings will still be available at sportsreport.com.gl/esferiad/ii/reports and sportsreport.com.gl/esferiad/ii/events, for those who want to check them later. Thank you for enjoying the Esferiad with us!

Meet the 23-year-old Basric student stuck in Rosel: ‘I’ve made some mistakes’
By Marc Phoase  •  Updated: 11/07/1421

A 23-year-old student from the Saint Aiaden claims he is stuck in Rosel after flying to a nearby airport and ridesharing into the city on holiday last Monday.
Haf Bernard, a business student at the Tamaric University of Saint Aiaden, reportedly flew into a small regional airport outside Rosel on Monday 1 November via connecting flights though Saint Josalyn. 
He booked the trip in October 1421, despite advice from the Estates MInistry for the Overthere and the Estates-Ministry for Astorian Union cautioning against travel to the city due to the ongoing seige actions by the Honourable Lord Merec. This month Bernard discovered he could not refund his trip, so decided to get on the flight as planned, believing that he would be able to leave before fighting or the siege was executed.
However, despite warning from the Kingdom's Armed Forces, Bernard failed to evacuate the city before the deadline. He found himself unable to fly out of the city yesterday, posting on social media that he was in a “bit of a pickle”. He describes the locked down, blacked out city as "eerie". 
The Estates-Ministries for the Overthere and Astorian Union have since released a joint statement that they will not be taking any actions or seeking special accommodation from the Cambrians for Bernard, and are in full support of Lord Merec in his execution of Imperium. 
Bernard it seems, may have to wait and see if his thrill-seeking will cost him.

"Not having the ability to access menstrual products makes it hard to fully participate in school. I want to make sure that young girls have every opportunity to thrive in school and are not limited by factors they can't control.
With the generous attention and fast-tracking made possible by Estates-Minister of Education Blanid, to promote and uphold sexual and reproductive health and rights, we will make access to menstrual products free for all students at state operated schools across Nieubasria.

We will share more details on this initiative in the following weeks.
Menstrual products are a basic need and are essential to ensure a person's full participation in school, work, and society. I am fully committed to making these vital products readily available and to supporting girls across the country."

Government of Nieubasria invites small businesses to develop an artificial intelligence decryption service
News release | Clarendon | November 4, 1421 | Innovation, Science and Economic Development Basria, Agency of the Estates-Ministry of Industry
The Government of Nieubasria is looking for innovative ways to help Basric businesses succeed. Today, Innovative Solutions Basria launched a new challenge led by the Prince's Special Police (PSP).
Along with other Basric law enforcement agencies, the PSP is facing challenges in accessing encrypted data seized during the course of criminal investigations. Individuals engaging in illegal behaviours have been using sophisticated encryption techniques to bypass legal prosecution. The PSP is looking for an artificial intelligence decryption system that can process the seized data files and generate specific word lists to try and access the encrypted material.
Quick facts
Small businesses will have until December 20 to apply to the challenge.
Through the Innovative Solutions Basria program, government departments are inviting small businesses to come up with a new innovative product, service or solution that answers a specific challenge they face. Winning small businesses may receive up to 750,000฿ to refine their research and development and, if accepted into phase 2, receive up to 5฿ million to develop a working prototype. The government can then act as a first customer, helping these businesses commercialize their innovations, scale up their business and create secure middle-class jobs across Astoria.
Innovative Solutions Basria is a key component of the government-in-Hier’s Innovation and Skills Plan, a multi-year plan to make Basria a global innovation leader and prepare all subjects to succeed in tomorrow’s economy.
There are hundreds of programs and services that offer everything from funding to expert advice in order to help businesses innovate, create jobs and grow Basria's economy. Using a simple, story-based user interface, the Innovation Basria platform can match businesses with the most fitting programs and services in about two minutes.

Kurabis-based wellness company geared toward seniors to pay 950,000฿ for violating telemarketing rules
News release | Clarendon | November 3, 1421 | Basric Radio and Telecommunications Commission (BRTC), Agency of the Estates-Ministry of Public Infrastructure
The BRTC today announced that Kuradiffusion Inc has agreed to pay a 950,000฿ penalty as part of a settlement for making non-compliant telemarketing calls. The Parducze, Kurabis-based company, more widely known as DiffusariKo, specializes in the direct sale of wellness products geared toward seniors.     
The investigation uncovered that DiffusariKo committed several violations of the Unsolicited Telecommunications Rules between September 1418 and October 1419. During that period, millions of unsolicited calls were made to Basrians– some of which were made to telephone numbers registered on the Statutory Do Not Call List (SDNCL) and outside of the permissible calling hours. Some calls were also made during periods when the company failed to purchase a subscription to the Statutory DNCL. The company enlisted the services of call centres based in Santos-Dominius and Deneiria. 
Basrians who think the telemarketing rules are not being followed can submit a complaint to the BRTC.

Mona- "Everyone at home, please don't forget that the only team able to get in a goal against the Cambrians, or I should say Keller, at the World Cup before the semi-finals was the Basric Nationals under Earc Velding. The Larxians eventually broke the charm, leading them to face the Nationals in the finals- was it Velding or some greater Astorian juju dispelling the mystifying streak?"

                               Today in Quoriv, Vivien Sampaio the Gymnastics Nieubasria posterwoman has announced her retirement from organized gymnastics. This comes just weeks after she says her doctors confirmed her pregnancy. 
Esferic Quorum doctors advised Vivien to not compete in such strenuous activity as this level of athletics poses. This may have contributed to her standings when compared to the first Esferiad. 
Gymnastics Nieubasria has expressed their best wishes as Vivien completes these games and in all future endeavours.
She and her partner, Estael intend to focus on their family in the coming months.

The Estates-Ministries for the Overthere and Astorian Union have since released a joint statement that they will not be taking any actions or seeking special accommodation from the Cambrians for Bernard, and are in full support of Lord Merec in his execution of Imperium. 
Bernard it seems, may have to wait and see if his thrill-seeking will cost him.

Meet the 23-year-old Basric student stuck in Rosel: ‘I’ve made some mistakes’
By Marc Phoase  •  Updated: 11/07/1421

A 23-year-old student from the Saint Aiaden claims he is stuck in Rosel after flying to a nearby airport and ridesharing into the city on holiday last Monday.
Haf Bernard, a business student at the Tamaric University of Saint Aiaden, reportedly flew into a small regional airport outside Rosel on Monday 1 November via connecting flights though Saint Josalyn. 
He booked the trip in October 1421, despite advice from the Estates MInistry for the Overthere and the Estates-Ministry for Astorian Union cautioning against travel to the city due to the ongoing seige actions by the Honourable Lord Merec. This month Bernard discovered he could not refund his trip, so decided to get on the flight as planned, believing that he would be able to leave before fighting or the siege was executed.
However, despite warning from the Kingdom's Armed Forces, Bernard failed to evacuate the city before the deadline. He found himself unable to fly out of the city yesterday, posting on social media that he was in a “bit of a pickle”. He describes the locked down, blacked out city as "eerie". 
The Estates-Ministries for the Overthere and Astorian Union have since released a joint statement that they will not be taking any actions or seeking special accommodation from the Cambrians for Bernard, and are in full support of Lord Merec in his execution of Imperium. 
Bernard it seems, may have to wait and see if his thrill-seeking will cost him.

Quorivo, Lavanda Prima, Giovanniland—08:00 AM International Atomic Time, 6th November 1421
"Wake up, everyone!", told Matteo. "The hotel breakfast is ready, and last time I stayed in the Deversorio Hortensia it was really good."
It was a sunny Saturday morning, and once the blinds were opened, rays of sunlight entered the bedroom of the Settimo-Nerani family.
"Ouch," complained Flavio, as he grabbed a pillow to hide the light from reaching his eyes. "Can't we wait just a bit more?"
"Come on, let's go!", Angela said. "There's a lot to do today, we can't wait much more." The others then gave in, and in a few minutes were ready to go downstairs to the hotel's breakfast room, just on the right of the foyer and main entrance. 

There was the breakfast room. It was nicely decorated, and the family chose a table just besides a bouquet of beautifully arranged violet flowers.
"Let's see what the breakfast is today," thought Flavio.
"Hmm, some grapes, bananas, melons, oranges, apples, watermelons... I'll take an orange and a slice of melon," said Angela.
"Those sandwiches surely do look nice," noted Augusto. "I think that's what I'll eat today."
"And wow, these chocolate and passion fruit pies look very beautiful! I don't think these existed last time I was here, so I'll taste some of it."
After getting their breakfast, the family sat down in the table and started eating. More and more people entered the room and time passed; the breakfast room would close at 10:30 AM.
As Angela finished eating the fruits, something caught her attention. There was a pile of several newspapers and magazines just to the right of the table.
One with flashy crimson letters said "Quotidiano Quorivano". It was from the 1st of November, almost a week before, but nevertheless Angela chose to read it. The headline was particularly notable—Interview: Giovannilandian Athletes Sweep the 110m Hurdles Podium.

"This interview looks very interesting," thought Angela as she finished reading. "There have been other Giovannilandian podium sweeps since that one, but nevertheless it seems those four athletes are now well celebrated for the first one ever. Could there be another one today...? There must be a reason I happened to see this newspaper just today."
"Ooh, looks interesting," remarked Flavio. "Can I read it?"
Angela agreed, and her younger son started reading. Just after that, Matteo asked everyone: "So, which events are we watching today?"
"I think it would be interesting to watch something different today, what about Road Cycling Time Trial? The Via Firkella Herennio isn't that far from this hotel, we just need to drive a bit to the south," proposed Angela.
"Nice idea, when does it start?" asked Augusto. "We need to go to the Stadio Sferiko Rege Giovanni VI to watch the Giovanniland v. Nieubasria football semifinal later today..."
"Oh, the road cycling event starts at 13:30 PM, we should able to lunch, watch this event, and then go to that stadium at 16:00 PM to watch the football game," said Matteo.
"I like this plan!", Flavio agreed. The family then finished breakfast, stayed on the hotel for a while, and then got ready for lunch and for the road cycling event.
Via Firkella Herennio, Quorivo, Giovanniland—13:00 PM International Atomic Time, 6th November 1421
"So, we've finally arrived!", exclaimed Angela.
"Indeed, let's take our seats," told Matteo. The family had reserved some seats just before the starting point, so that they could also see the athletes starting and ending.
The event soon started, and athletes raced alone as they were sent out in intervals, instead of a mass start. An Esferiad official announced the name of each cyclist in alphabetical order and gave them a heads up so they could prepare.
Giovannilandians applauded as the nation's athletes started: Manuella Violetone, Priskilla Linare-Vitale, Tadeo Remo Bellieno and Umberto Hibernio.
It was a lengthy road, although a screen displayed updates of where the athletes were. After one hour, they started to come back. Another screen updated the rankings as they finished.
Soon, the official announced the first Giovannilandian athlete to come back: "And Manuella Violetone has just finished, with a time of one hour, five minutes and twenty-five seconds!"
"Second place, very good," said Angela. "The first place at the moment, Ian Froome from Cambria, came just twenty seconds faster than her," added Matteo.
The family then cheered even more as Priskilla Linare-Vitale finished 1:03:05, two minutes faster than the previous first-place, and took the lead of the podium. But just a few moments later, they were even more impressed as Tadeo Remo Bellieno had outdone his fellow colleague with a time of 1:02:20.
"I think this is the prelude for a podium sweep," thought Flavio.
And in fact he was right, as Umberto Hibernio then finished with a time of 1:04:18, and the first three places were dominated by Giovanniland.
The family was very happy when the last athlete of the competition arrived, and the podium sweep was confirmed. The medal ceremony was staged right there on the open cycling road, a few speakers displaying the Giovannilandian anthem as three copies of the beautiful national flag were hoisted at once.
"Woohoo!", said Matteo. "I think the event has ended now, and it's almost 15:00 PM so we should get ready to go into the football stadium."
Angela thought to herself. "So there was in fact going to be a podium sweep... my prediction was correct! I feel like more lucky things are about to happen..."
The family then left their seats near the Via Firkella Herennio and went to the Stadio Sferiko Rege Giovanni VI.
Stadio Sferiko Rege Giovanni VI, Quorivo, Giovanniland—15:30 PM International Atomic Time, 6th November 1421

The family entered the stadium and found their four seats after some time. "This stadium is beautiful, those purple seats and fields really evoke the common violet and lavender fields here," thought Angela.
"This is way more crowded than the road cycling event, I guess Giovannilandians just like football more," noted Augusto.
"There are many Basrians here as well, I think in total there are 50 thousand people already," said Matteo. "What's the total capacity?"
"Should be 90 thousand, I know it's nearly the same capacity as the Arena Abrentana in Giovannia, which has 95 thousand," said Flavio.
"After all, this stadium was a new one built for the Esferiad, bears His Majesty's name, and will host the gold medal match, so it must have a lot of capacity," remarked Angela.
The game was about to start, with the Giovannilandian squad the same as the last match. Nieubasria's team was also nearly the same, but without Earc Velding, due to the unfortunate death that happened during the 1st World Cup of Football.
One of the referees then called the two captains and flipped a coin to decide the starting team. The Giovannilandian captain's choice allowed the home team to start.
The two teams then each looked for opportunities to attack, in a match that was shaping up to be very even. "Our team is playing against the champion of the 1st World Cup, after all, the same team that also defeated us during the football gold medal match of the Saint-Josalyn Summer Esferiad," noted Angela.
After nearly half of the first match without many goals, Giovannilandian striker Pietro Takeda finally opened the score on the 25th minute, aided by attacking midfielder Giustiniano Nottua-Glabrio and striker Klementina de Abreo-Florino. The Giovannilandian fans then cheered.
However, the advantage would not last long, as in the 32nd minute Camdyn Cartwrighte from Nieubasria would make the score even again, after the Giovannilandian goalkeeper Klaudio Spindola caught an initial attempt but could not stop a second try.
"It's the player that received the 1st World Cup's Golden Ball award after all," thought Matteo.
That was it for the first half, with no other noteworthy happenings. "How do you think the match will end, family?", asked Flavio.
"I think it could go into extra time, or maybe even penalty shootouts," wondered Angela. "But I hope we can win."
The second half saw Giovanniland switch center midfield Gabriella Orfeo with striker Ottavio Laquo-Tertulli, as the team hoped to increase its attacking style. However, none of the scoring attempts succeeded.
In fact, the opposite happened: in the 63rd minute Edric Graemes from Nieubasria scored, leaving the Giovannilandians with a losing score of 1-2.
The following half hour was tough for Giovannilandian fans, as several opportunities were created but none succeeded. Outside back Sergio Feragi Faustiano and captain Lorentio Santo-Ferrari even hit the goalpost, while Gustavo Zapata had two strikes blocked by the Basric goalkeeper.
The referee gave four minutes of stoppage time, during a nailbiting moment for the family and other Giovannilandians in the stadium. But finally, when hope seemed gone, striker Ottavio Laquo-Tertulli finally scored the equalizer goal that would bring the score into 2-2 and the game into extra time.
"I guess the change at half time did pay off," said Augusto. The family then watched the two halves of extra time as the ball flew across the field but did not enter any of the goals.
"Penalty shootout it is," noted Matteo. The two teams then chose their best players to take the five initial penalties for each team.
Some minutes later, four penalties had been taken for each team and all were successful. Teodoro Sonserina, Gabriella Orfeo, Pietro Takeda, and Klementina de Abreo-Florino all scored for Giovanniland; while Camdyn Cartwrighte, Huxley Townsende, Holden Sudworthe and Landan Aylmere did so for Nieubasria.
It was then the final two penalties of the initial round, if both teams succeeded then it would go into sudden death. Gustavo Zapata took the one for Giovanniland; it was a strike that hit the top right part of the net, with no chance for the Basric goalkeeper.
Then it was the Basric striker Edric Graemes' turn. Once it was seen that the strike hit the left goalpost and failed to enter, both the Giovannilandian team and fans cheered as a place during the gold medal match was guaranteed.
The Settimo-Nerani family was happy as well. "Yay, congrats Giovanniland!", said Flavio. "Do we know the team we'll face in the next match?"
"Looks like it is, hmm... Cambria," answered Matteo. "They had a convincing 2-0 win against Arifiyyah."
"Their goalkeeper is really one of the best, very few times I've seen a strike pass through him," noted Augusto.
"Indeed," said Angela. "In the previous Esferiad we came to the final but lost to Nieubasria, the same country we defeated now, so hopefully we can get the gold medal for football this time."
The family then left the Stadio Sferiko Rege Giovanni VI, soon driving back to the Deversorio Hortensia. Just like the previous day, a traditional Lavandulan dinner awaited them. Then it was sleep time, as the family planned to watch some of the events in the last day of the Esferiad, hopefully including the Closing Ceremony at Kharventhin.

Blue Bubble is intrested in joining this group and will review their standards in the upcoming months.

Kurabis-based wellness company geared toward seniors to pay 950,000฿ for violating telemarketing rules
News release | Clarendon | November 3, 1421 | Basric Radio and Telecommunications Commission (BRTC), Agency of the Estates-Ministry of Public Infrastructure
The BRTC today announced that Kuradiffusion Inc has agreed to pay a 950,000฿ penalty as part of a settlement for making non-compliant telemarketing calls. The Parducze, Kurabis-based company, more widely known as DiffusariKo, specializes in the direct sale of wellness products geared toward seniors.     
The investigation uncovered that DiffusariKo committed several violations of the Unsolicited Telecommunications Rules between September 1418 and October 1419. During that period, millions of unsolicited calls were made to Basrians– some of which were made to telephone numbers registered on the Statutory Do Not Call List (SDNCL) and outside of the permissible calling hours. Some calls were also made during periods when the company failed to purchase a subscription to the Statutory DNCL. The company enlisted the services of call centres based in Santos-Dominius and Deneiria. 
Basrians who think the telemarketing rules are not being followed can submit a complaint to the BRTC.

Along with other Basric law enforcement agencies, the PSP is facing challenges in accessing encrypted data seized during the course of criminal investigations. Individuals engaging in illegal behaviours have been using sophisticated encryption techniques to bypass legal prosecution. The PSP is looking for an artificial intelligence decryption system that can process the seized data files and generate specific word lists to try and access the encrypted material.

Through the Innovative Solutions Basria program, government departments are inviting small businesses to come up with a new innovative product, service or solution that answers a specific challenge they face. Winning small businesses may receive up to 750,000฿ to refine their research and development and, if accepted into phase 2, receive up to 5฿ million to develop a working prototype. The government can then act as a first customer, helping these businesses commercialize their innovations, scale up their business and create secure middle-class jobs across Astoria.
Innovative Solutions Basria is a key component of the government-in-Hier’s Innovation and Skills Plan, a multi-year plan to make Basria a global innovation leader and prepare all subjects to succeed in tomorrow’s economy.

Kurabis-based wellness company geared toward seniors to pay 950,000฿ for violating telemarketing rules
News release | Clarendon | November 3, 1421 | Basric Radio and Telecommunications Commission (BRTC), Agency of the Estates-Ministry of Public Infrastructure
The BRTC today announced that Kuradiffusion Inc has agreed to pay a 950,000฿ penalty as part of a settlement for making non-compliant telemarketing calls. The Parducze, Kurabis-based company, more widely known as DiffusariKo, specializes in the direct sale of wellness products geared toward seniors.     
The investigation uncovered that DiffusariKo committed several violations of the Unsolicited Telecommunications Rules between September 1418 and October 1419. During that period, millions of unsolicited calls were made to Basrians– some of which were made to telephone numbers registered on the Statutory Do Not Call List (SDNCL) and outside of the permissible calling hours. Some calls were also made during periods when the company failed to purchase a subscription to the Statutory DNCL. The company enlisted the services of call centres based in Santos-Dominius and Deneiria. 
Basrians who think the telemarketing rules are not being followed can submit a complaint to the BRTC.

Dazano, Lavanda Prima, Giovanniland—13:20 PM International Atomic Time, 5th November 1421
The Settimo-Nerani family had just finished their lunch for the day, after the two brothers Augusto and Flavio had a busy day of class at high school.
"I've got all of our things ready for our trip to Quorivo for this weekend," told Matteo to his wife Angela. "Do you as well, darling?"
"Yes," she answered. "I'll call the children. Augusto, Flavio, let's go!"
Augusto was of course playing a game in his phone, while Flavio was reading the second part of the Lord of the Necklaces trilogy, but the two wanted to watch some Esferic events again so they quickly went to the car.
"Today we'll travel the same 50 kilometers between Dazano and Quorivo, but without stopping for lunch, so it should hopefully take less time for us to arrive," thought Matteo.
"An hour and a half or so," said Angela.  
The family took a different, less crowded route this time, as there were many Giovannilandians traveling to Quorivo to see some of the games in the final matchdays. It was commonly known as the Palm Tree Road, due to the common occurrence of these trees, and passed west through Medottone and then north to Quorivo instead of the traditional Uryde route.
"This landscape is very beautiful indeed," thought Flavio to himself.
In 40 minutes they were at Medottone, driving through the downtown of the city with around 100,000 inhabitants, and passing near the Perkurso Mallisfere Medottoni, the Golf Course of Medottone.  
"Look, the golf competition is happening right now! I can see our athletes Vanessa Desniana, Norberto Merenda-Ferrari, and Leandro Gilvano-Andrea," remarked Angela.
"Hopefully they're performing well, I wish we could watch this as well," said Flavio.
"Same, but then we wouldn't have time to watch the upcoming football match against Dilber," noted Augusto.
"Yeah... let's give goodbye to them and continue our journey!", told Matteo.
Quorivo, Lavanda Prima, Giovanniland—15:00 PM International Atomic Time, 5th November 1421
Another 40 minutes and they arrived at Quorivo. The Stadio Lidoborano, in which the Giovanniland v. Dilber game would happen, was on the western part of the city. It would start at 15:30 PM, so the family had arrived half an hour earlier.
Many seats were already occupied by Giovannilandians, Dilberians, and some football fans from other countries. The referee then called the two captains, including Lorentio Santo-Ferrari from Giovanniland, and flipped a coin to decide the team that was going to start.
Then the game started, with the two teams looking for opportunities and fiercely attacking each other. The Giovannilandian squad was using a 3-3-4, after all.
"I think our team should quickly make a goal or two, and then defend for the rest of the game, since the Dilberians are known to purely attack," thought Augusto.
And indeed that happened. Striker Gustavo Zapata scored Giovanniland's first and only goal of the match with only 10 minutes in, although during the rest of the first half many failed opportunities from both sides also happened. It was a very dynamic and active game, and the family watched closely.
During the second half, however, a change in pace of the game then ensued, as Giovannilandians switched to defense—striker Klementina de Abreo-Florino was replaced by center back Tommaso Laruta, who also had played in the 1st World Cup of Football.
"Ugh, this is turning into something pretty boring," said Augusto some minutes in. "I wish this could also be like some other matches, such as our 3-0 against Tupmonia or 3-1 against United Adaikes."
"Actually," remarked Flavio, "I think this is a good strategy. Giovanniland will face either Fujai or Nieubasria in the semifinals, and it's good to save some stamina."
"Looks like Nieubasria, they're winning 3-0," added Matteo.
"Fair enough," said Augusto. 
The rest of second half was pretty uneventful, although at the end of the match, the family and the other Giovannilandian fans were happy to see the team win.
"Hurray! I just researched, looks like Giovanniland has also won in other team events like field hockey, rugby sevens, and indoor volleyball," told Augusto.
"Don't forget handball!", replied Angela. "Our team has just won the gold medal by 29-27 in a close match against Nieubasria."
"I wish we could've watched that as well, sadly it started half an hour earlier than this football match and finished a while ago now," thought Matteo.
Quorivo, Lavanda Prima, Giovanniland—17:30 PM International Atomic Time, 5th November 1421
The family then left the Stadio Lidoborano, soon driving to the Deversorio Hortensia (a Giovannese name meaning Hydrangea Hotel). It was a comfortable but not very expensive hotel in Quorivo, and had some nice hydrangea flowers around the building for decoration, therefore giving it the name.
A traditional Lavandulan dinner awaited them, and for the rest of the evening they watched the recording of other events, such as the Gymnastics Rings event in which Isayas Delliaro-Varrutio and Lukiano Annabella-Tappone had achieved gold and bronze medals for the nation respectively.
They all awaited for the next day, yet to decide the events to watch and other things to do in Quorivo. "Let's think about that tomorrow," told Matteo and Angela. "Good night all!"
"Good night," Augusto and Flavio repeated in unison, and everyone in the family went to sleep.

The company enlisted the services of call centres based in Santos-Dominius and Deneiria. 
Basrians who think the telemarketing rules are not being followed can submit a complaint to the BRTC.

Treint- "And there is a good chance that we will see the Astorian teams directly against one another in the finals either the Gold or Bronze match - something not seen even in the first Summer Esferiad OR the World Cup of Football."
Mona- "Everyone at home, please don't forget that the only team able to get in a goal against the Cambrians, or I should say Keller, at the World Cup before the semi-finals was the Basric Nationals under Earc Velding. The Larxians eventually broke the charm, leading them to face the Nationals in the finals- was it Velding or some greater Astorian juju dispelling the mystifying streak?"

                               Today in Quoriv, Vivien Sampaio the Gymnastics Nieubasria posterwoman has announced her retirement from organized gymnastics. This comes just weeks after she says her doctors confirmed her pregnancy. 
Esferic Quorum doctors advised Vivien to not compete in such strenuous activity as this level of athletics poses. This may have contributed to her standings when compared to the first Esferiad. 
Gymnastics Nieubasria has expressed their best wishes as Vivien completes these games and in all future endeavours.
She and her partner, Estael intend to focus on their family in the coming months.
