Come, friends of world sport! Come one, come all! The Sovereign Tripartite City of Zhenherribae invites the nations of the world to come to our City for a sports festival featuring the five sports that are preeminent in Zhenherribaean culture: Basketball, (team) handball, paleta goma trinquete (representing the Basque pelota family), rugby sevens, and three-sided football.
Your nation may enter any or all of the five sports. To enter a sport, you must supply the names of a certain number of players for that sport. Full-blown rosters are wonderful and count for a day of RP bonuses, but at a minimum enough athletes must be named to give your fellow participants an opportunity to RP.
