After the World Cup 70, the trophy was broken into pieces by a foreign force while waiting to return for the 71st edition. By the time a 72nd World Cup tournament was announced, eighteen pieces were mailed for eighteen different figures with three other names listed on the letter as the people one should recruit for the upcoming tournament, where the winner would unite each piece of the trophy and be then the hero that saved an otherwise group of useless gold bits.

ROYAL KINGDOM OF QUEBEC
Best Feature: Swirly Gizmo thing
Worst Feature: The Color Yellow
Most Notable Feature: Swirly Gizmo thing
One Change To Make: Keep the color families, but darken the hues.
Could Also Pass As the Flag of... Gyatso-kai
Amakra's Final Word: The flag has a lot of goodness, but a lot of features. The Swirly Gizmo thing immediately draws the eyes, but the contrast lines between the red and blue background also draw the eyes; and Red is such a bright color. It would be interesting to see this flag using midnight blue, maroon and silver in the background, and perhaps a sky blue in place of the slightly out-of-place yellow. Considering there are no misplaced stars, however, it has a leg up on the rest of Group 1.
MERTAGNE
Best Feature: White stars forming the Shape of an M
Worst Feature: The missing dark star in the central-upper negative space
Most Notable Feature: 5 White Stars
One Change To Make: There is a large field of green around the star pattern that could be reduced or utilized
Could Also Pass As the Flag of... Patistan
Amakra's Final Word: At first glance, the flag is simple. Then you stare at it, and like it more. Then you stare even longer, and like it even more. Then you stare some more, and start thinking about how it could be improved. Stare at it long enough, and you're right back at the start.
SEMARLAND
Best Feature: The color blue (The softest of those chosen)
Worst Feature: The color red (the most extreme field color)
Most Notable Feature: The Nordic Cross
One Change To Make: Take a page out of the Fallenmark Islands' book, and add a shape at the intersection that provides room for a unique feature representative of the nature. Sure, they didn't take advantage of it, but they laid the ground work.
Could Also Pass As the Flag of... Greater Watford
Amakra's Final Word: I didn't realize that this flag style was so popular. It's getting to the point where its no longer original enough to get good comments in on. Its incredible that there are still unique color combinations available in this pattern.
VALANORA
Best Feature: The center feature
Worst Feature: Low-contrast blue on blue
Most Notable Feature: Symmetry amongst the bright white diamond shapes in the center feature immediately pops amongst the field of darker blue and blue stripes that adorn the rest of the flag
One Change To Make: It would be interesting to see a claw or a sword in there - or maybe even a yellow outline somewhere to bridge the national identity gap. It might not look better, but it would be nice to see it.
Could Also Pass As the Flag of... Star United States
Amakra's Final Word: This flag is unique. Its got all the key attributes a flag should have, good symmetry, solid lines, easy to recognize and represent. It, however, makes no nods to the previous Vanorian flag, a flag drenched in so much history it will be hard to disassociate it from the Vanorian legacy allow this new blue-on-blue design to intrude into its place in history. Only time can truly solidify this Vanorian flags place in history along side its predecessor.
KANDORITH
Best Feature: Red & White alternating Stripes
Worst Feature: Field of Red
Most Notable Feature: Yellow centerpiece
One Change To Make: Invert the field of red and the white accents, such that the field is now White and the accents red. This may inversely require a de-emphasis in the use of yellow.
Could Also Pass As the Flag of... The Japanese-Soviet Socialist Republic
Amakra's Final Word: This is a very interesting, detailed flag that surely has an even deeper, detailed meaning on the placard than is initially visible on the surface. However, the attention-grabbing field of red results in many of the intricate details of the centerpiece being lost to the casual observer.
SAN JOSE GUAYABAL
Best Feature: Double outline between the field and the crossed feature
Worst Feature: Double outline between the field and the crossed feature
Most Notable Feature: National Seal accessory in the upper left quadrant
One Change To Make: Simplify the accessory such that its detail is more readily apparent
Could Also Pass As the Flag of... Skarosbrekka
Amakra's Final Word: Yet another Nordic-style cross but they've done two things differently here. First, they have a unique accessory in the seal in the upper-left, so its not just another boring, straight up Nordic Cross. Secondly, they've got a double border between the blue and the white. Its a good idea. Unfortunately, the fact that they've done it with Green and Yellow means it just drowns itself out, but it does make an interesting transition.
FELIX
Best Feature: Simple yet elegant detail of primary feature
Worst Feature: Size of Primary Feature relative to flag
Most Notable Feature: The bird clutching a shield in the center of the flag
One Change To Make: Blue on Red is bold, but i'd like to see the colors from the shield used instead, particularly the blue.
Could Also Pass As the Flag of... Haiti
Amakra's Final Word: The tones in the shield don't match the hue's in the field. The central feature is strong, however.
THE HOLY EMPIRE
Best Feature: The highly unique yellow feature that symmetrically adorns each quadrant.
Worst Feature: The highly detailed avian feature in the center of the flag appears to be a bit squished for space.
Most Notable Feature: The highly unique yellow feature that symmetrically adorns each quadrant.
One Change To Make: While the central details don't stand out due to being white on a field of yellow, I don't see that as a problem because the strengths of the flag lie outside the focus. I might push the unique yellow features closer to the flags border, however.
Could Also Pass As the Flag of... Zenic
Amakra's Final Word: This is a case where two high contrast colors - Red and Yellow, can actually be used together in a nice fashion. They key? Slightly softer tones and large features.

I am the Legitimate King of Saintland
By: King Petrus XX
Several months ago, my brother carried out a coup against me with the help of elements within the Church of Saintland. I was in Electrum at the time, competing in the World Bowl. I had just stated my intent to initiate reforms that are necessary to bring my Kingdom into the modern era. I wish to reiterate that my plan for a Parliament is ordained by God and that those who committed treason against me in order to prevent it have also rebelled against the Will of God and will face due punishment for their sins in time.
You see, as the Scriptures tell us, the powers that be have been put there by God and he who rebels against rightful authority rebels against God. As it turns out, the current leadership of God's Church is in active rebellion against God and it is our duty as Christians to reject false bishops and those who commit murders in the name of God.
The recent events in Vermark are especially disturbing to me and I want to reiterate my condemnation of the so-called Christian State and their perversion of our faith. I send my condolences to the victims and their families and ask that the nations of the multiverse rise up to defeat this abomination and to remove the usurper from my Throne.
I have also spoken with the newly elected World Bowl President Hilarion Vasin, the former Consul of the Free Republics, and I can confirm my intent to enter my Kingdom's National Team in World Bowl XXVII and play our home matches in whatever nation is willing to have us, even if I have yet to remove the usurper from my throne by that time.
