Ceroo's bid:
Ceroo is situated to the south-west of the main arm of the Apolyton continent and close to the centre of the region. It is a highly modernised nation, boasting excellent transport links- whether you are travelling by sea, aeroplane, train or car (the main islands are linked to each other and the mainland by Ceroostar trainlinks [RL: Eurostar] ). The people are warm and friendly and have recently rediscovered their love of football, with the domestic league gaining record attendances in the past season.
Stadia to host matches:
Stadio de Ceroo, Ceroo City Capacity:85,000
(will host the final)
The Millennium Stadium, Sarali Capacity:73,000 (has retractable roof)

All stadia are 'all-seaters' and meet UAFA safety requirements.
We hope the above meets your approval and would be happy to accept your vote! See you in Ceroo 04!

The Arch-Capitalist
Being Situated in the far north of Apolytonia, Iguana Fire is far enough distant from the Azan Region's troubles and has sought to avoid influence in the region. As such, Iguana Fire should be a well-accepted neutral ground. Indeed, Iguana Fire's very neutrality should repel all claims of preference toward either side in the conflict. Nevertheless, Iguana Fire, in the event of trouble or terrorism, can also merit one of the region's strongest police forces. With cameras on every street corner and random security checks at airports and a national identification and tracking system- (managed by the IOTA- International Operations Tracking Authority), Iguana Fire has claim to being perhaps the safest nation in Apolytonia.
Iguana Fire also borders the vast ocean and has several picturesque rivers running through the nation. In its capital city of Igualica, bordering on the Igualica basin, Iguana Fire can boast three competing Free-Market stadiums. (The city itself boasts a population of 35 million football-rabid souls, with another 120 million in the 100 mile metropolitan region.)
In the Centralis region in the center of the nation, the Random river flows down from the mountains to the city of Centralis (population 20 million) hosting the Centralia Stadium (seating: 65,000)
Also included in the bid are the beautiful Spherko Heights stadium and the oceanside NewPort Shipping Co. Stadium.
So come to Iguana Fire, and you won't be disappointed.
Iguana Fire- the Nation for FreeMarketers Everywhere. Acceptable to all.

Note: Squeblish Nef? was a little sketchy on the Arch-Capitalist bid's details, saying
The Arch-Capitalist will supply the catering.
And the stadiums, if you want.

Hey, man!
I didn't say I was gonna, like, host the thing!
I was offering to build stuff for ya!

Voted, for Ceroo suprisingly.
I wasn't going to, but then thought "what if I don't get any votes?!".
In other news, Ceroo's confidence was severly dented as they went down 4-0 to San Antonio Bay on the weekend. San Antonio star Raul scoring his first international hat-trick...

Which one of you b@stards voted for me?

Hey there, Ming Tran is now up to 4,500 seats, almost triple what we had a week ago. By the time this thing is played we should have several decent sized school gyms we can hold it in.
The Arch-Capitalist expresses his extreme displeasure at that wiseass b@stard's suggestion that he would engage in such an unprofitable activity as hosting a regional cup.
May the voter's financial assets turn green, shrivel and drop off.

Did the Arch-Capitalist think he might bear some of the blame for saying "I can provide the stadiums!" in the thread where people were discussing hosts?
Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.
No.
Nowhere in the post did it say "I will host the tournament".
So there.

All right.
In other issues, how much longer should we wait, before we declare the poll closed and start the tournament?
Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.
Screw it.
Close it, mate.
You've already won, after all!

Given that posting rates tend to go down over the weekend, I'd say leave it until monday before you start roleplaying your victory.

Voted for Iguana Fire. Seeing as how all the other nations are currently involved with hostilities against the honorable nation of Frankychanland, we feel that our men and women would be more safe in their territories.
Unless the other nations can guarantee our safety from the local populace as well as provide us with police escorts, our vote stands with Iguana Fire.

Support of the Concept has grown in Auldonina with the latest games attracting almost 45,000 to the Stadiums....
Still not a spopular as the local version of Football which attracts crowds of over 140,000 to each game.
The newly formed Soccer Federation of Auldoninna (SFA) has proposed an annual Apolynesia Soccer tournamment to be played amonsgt the small islands.
The Jonchastan Committee for Sports and Recreation welcomes the SFA's proposal. We look forward to Jonchastan's participation in the proposed tournament, and offer to assist Auldoninna in whatever way they judge appropriate.

Joncha Soccer Federation representatives are invited to attend the next Auldoninna Play off matches...
O.K. If it's okay with everybody, then whatever the result looks like when I come in on Monday (probably in the afternoon my time) will stand.
Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.
Seems reasonable.
So, is a simulation via Championship Manager game engine suitable for everybody?
I tried Ceroo [RL Wales] versus San Antonio Bay [RL Spain] in it and it produced a relatively realistic result 4-0 to San Antonio. For this to work everybody would need to choose a team to style their nations on and a list of player names/positions. Will post a few screenshots when they fix the telephone system out here. (Plodding along at 40,000bps is pathetic).
Or any other suggestions?
-Sir T
Sounds good, Ceroo.

Sounds fine to me too.

dont know the game you speak of but sounds fine
Ive never played championship manager but as a big fan of sports sims Ive heard its very good. Just cant get it easily in America.
A very good idea indeed.
The Karakan Football Federation thanks all electors who voted for their bid, and further promises that the tournament will be one to remember.
Meanwhile, pundits are predicting Ceroo and Iguana Fire will be among the front runners for the next UAFA tournament.
Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.
Championship Manager? Good idea, you guys have imagination...
Let's have some challenge. We take Finland. Players and positions were in the first thread.
The Chuck Norris military unit was not used in the game Civilization 4, because a single Chuck Norris could defeat the entire combined nations of the world in one turn.
