Welcome! We invite you to take a small glimpse into our city, and everything we have to offer. From breathtaking sights, to activities you've never seen before. In Malu entertainment is right at your fingertips. One of these activities include seeing the famous vampire juggling act -- a tradition that goes back to the city's first establishment.

Malu is a old city dating back to the early 1500's. It was one of the first established cities in the country, and the first to be rebuilt during the industrial age. Despite all the renovations, Malu is still very much alive with old buildings and museums full of history!

It has a modest population of 408,750 which gives you ample opportunity to see everything at your own pace without the hustle and bustle of a bigger city.

Xion now boasts several technical immensities that will give you exactly what you want -- more time getting to where you want to be! With our teleporters waiting at every terminal to take you to and from your plane. Simply pay for your ticket and teleport to your designated plane, that's right, no lines here!

Getting off the plane, or getting on one,
simply take the teleporter.

Once here in Vampirum you'll find transportation methods everywhere. Over 100 hover taxies are always waiting at the airport for your immediate convenience.

Zion Arena can seat an impressive 72,000 people, all of which will be able to watch the show in comfortable state-of-the-art cushioned seats. But Zion doesn't stop there!

The stage is, of course, one of the most important things about WorldVision. It's where the artist will sing to a crowd of thousands. Here at Zion Arena we will provide the audience with a spectacular sight while allowing the artist to really shine. Zion stage has been quoted as being 'huge' with enough room to fit six full sized bands (including instruments). The stage has two large screens that can be used to portray anything from images, videos, to lights. The stage lights themselves can change any number of colours depending on the performance. The green room is located in another part of the Arena, and can be generally reached by a teleporter behind the stage. The green room comes equipped with all the standard amenities a entrant will need while waiting to performer, or to see the voting results. Wi-Fi, a bar, seating area, and a small Jacuzzi. Though the biggest highlight of the green room is the VX-Chairs where performers needing time to themselves can sit while watching the show from their own personal screens.

I'd like to do a bit of "web commentary"- a quick summary/review of each entry, inspired by the iTunes editor reviews (though less in-depth).

[Hafamarimyht]

Hafamarimët will be returning to WorldVision 28. HafTV has internally selected Syktyma Mulgraat to sing When Love Dawns.

Confirmed.


Edit: just now found out what Communist Quinntopia's song is going to be based on...you already have my 12.

[Euskirribakondara]

1. Twerking's bad, in my opinion, for all guys. Not just Those of Asian descent.
2. You weren't the only ones with nightmares, you know. My brother often twerks and oh my eyes.....
3. Very much true about "Not even pony countries".

1. I wouldn't say all. My two beloved motherlands have lots of men twerking, and it's not that bad. After all, twerking can be essential for Colombian reggaeton and Brazilian funk; and we're either Hispanic or Black, so I guess it's more of our thing. But it is true, it looks somewhat better on women.
2. Hahahaha, OMG. That's just hilarious.
3. ^^

At least you don't have to put up with things like this every time you log in to Twitter (even though I follow him by choice). Though I'm pretty much used to it, no matter how bad it gets.

4. Well, the two times I've saw BGEN's Twitter account are totally NSFW and 17+ rated. So I know how it goes
5. And thanks for your "welcome" message!!!!!

Oh, I thought it was mastrubating, but it is arse-shaking? Haha

6. HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Okay.... Who would actually masturbate to a reggaeton song? (Kish, you're not allowed to answer)

EDIT: YOU GUYS SHOULD CHECK OUT MY OOC TOP 30!

[Kalosia]

Oh well.

But hey, make use of the extra time to study previous bids so that you can have a good first attempt on your bid for WV29.

17? I turn 15 in 5 days and I'm still older than him. It seems, really, that age is just a number. But he has another that's SFW.

EDIT: YOU GUYS SHOULD CHECK OUT MY OOC TOP 30!

Wow, you really put a lot of effort into these things, Eusk, and that's good, considering on how long you've been gone. I'm expecting a strong comeback here

[Fromulya]

Due to negative reaction caused by certain (sexual) acts at the previous contest, TVRF has announced that Fromulya will no longer participate in this "immoral" contest.

The few Fromulyans who are indeed fans of the Worldvision Song Contest have noticed that there a lot of city names that mean things in Indonesian, both the standard and Fromulyan dialect. Malu (Vampirum) means 'shy', Kotor (Montenegro) means 'dirty', Lima (Peru) means 'five'...

Malu is also a real city in Romania. As I've said before, Vampirum has very large ties to the country (in fact, I would say it's a second Romania in itself) so the name actually comes from a real place, not fiction. http://cityseek.org/info/673993/Malu-Ro ... hYYCNK2PXc

When the name was chosen, we never even considered it had any ties to Indonesia.

I wouldn't worry we were aware that Fromulya would pull out anyway... they're extremely closed-minded conservative. It's got nothing to do with the city name... given the fact that the host city hasn't even been chosen yet.

[Fromulya]

Yes.

How?

Well, they were transvestites to start with. I haven't even said anything yet on the performance, which is much worse. And there are other performances too. Transsexuals on Fromulyan TV are only there for humorous effect. IRL you would only see them in salons or on the streets begging for money.

It indeed does not have anything to do with city names. As I've said before, the only reason I put Fromulya in is because I had a song idea that would either have to go now or next year.

[Todlichebujoku]

If the Fromulyans are disgusted by just a little transvestites and sucking, I would be very interested in their reactions to some... other entries I've read.

singing about coitus and erections, actual orgy and full frontal nudity onstage

(I'll just reply using this account because you guys know it's me anyway)
The Fromulyan government is trying to censor all forms of pornography. In a country where one of the basic ideological principles is belief in a god, anything against the norm would be rejected from society. Of course, Fromulya is slowly opening up, but it may take a while. Even if there are people who support gay rights, etc; they tend to keep it to themselves or their close friends.

Also, in the last 3 years (except 2013), the Belarussian Eurovision entry underwent a major change twice each year. This year, they did only once, but they should have done it a second time.

Hm....

Just saying, Fromulya's just as conservative as South Korea can be when it comes to those things(LGBT, transvestite, pornography, etc).....

Actually, more like Saudi Arabia.

[Legendardisch]

no no, its north korea, iran and russia in one.

[Kalosia]

Despite the fact that I've mentioned it several times some of you apparently still don't get that Fromulya is based on Indonesia. Like, 95% of the IC matches with the condition in Indonesia. We're not that opressed, you know.

Also, did anyone click this link I posted earlier?

I get that. I was just mentioning the similarities between Indonesia and South Korea when it comes to these things. South Koreans are not that oppressed either.
