CoCoCoast, CoCoCounty, CoCoColania, Atlantian Oceania :: For much of its existence, the CoCoCo Logistics and Holdings company has been one of those behind-the-scenes entities that keeps the multiverse running without being a household name. Originally just a shipping and logistics company that went by the uninspiring name of "The Shipping and Logistics Company" - or "The Company" for Short, the CoCoCo saw its first major expansion after the fall of the reign of Lord Gregory in the sporting region of Esportiva. It was there that the Logistics and Holdings company scored a major contract with the newly established government of South Covello to bring Food and other Goods into the country to help them recover from the previous tyrannical administration. However, the Shipping and Logistics company quickly realized that there was no proper infrastructure within South Covello to distribute the goods being brought in. As such, the Shipping and Logistics Company, after acquiring an island off the coast of South Covello as its home logistics base, would transform into the multi-national logistics and holdings company CoCoCo establishing itself as a primary supplier of core goods and services. Internally the goods were used to provide essential raw materials and goods to Turorian shops such as Cocoa-bo that had opened a presence in country. Soon after, however, central public distribution locations were also established.
Of the Holdings portion of the company name would be One of the most prominent public facing arms of the CoCoCo is Coco-mart, the big box store which originated in South Covello. Coco-marts were stood up throughout South Covello to serve as an interface between CocCoCo and the public offering excess goods to the citizens of South Covello and somewhat reasonable prices compared with what it would have taken for a citizen to acquire similar goods during the reign of Lord Gregory. Other major public-facing CoCoCo entities include Cocogas and CoCoLectric. The CoCoCo have established multiple headquarters throughout the multiverse including their original location based out of Turori, they primary overseas headquarters in Esportiva on a collection of Islands off the coast of South Covello where raw goods are imported, sorted and redistributed to the mainland in support of CoCoCo entities, and smaller regional hubs throughout the multiverse like the one found in the former Free Republics as well as a minor depot in Starksville, Cassadaigua.
Now, Coco-mart's can be seen popping up wherever the CoCoCo Logistics and Holdings company performs its primary operations - shipping and logistics. The CoCoCo name has also become well known as an Associate sponsor in the world of Motorsports, including prominent placement on the Race Eelandii! Vilita and Turori World Grand Prix Motorworks team cars on the World Grand Prix Championship circuit and the #60 CoCoCo Dart of Rockii Ezis in the NSSCRA Everlong Contenders Series. The Coco-mart name also regularly pops up at sporting events such as the World Cup Finals (Check out Signups for the 91st World Cup ongoing now...) AOlympic Winter Festivalwhere a tented Coco-mart can be found at three different venues providing standard goods to fans, media and competitors alike on some of the remote locations hosting the Winter Games. In a shrewd move of marketability, Vilita and Turori Freestyle Skiing competitor Kikoro Mavazoji posted a picture of themselves on twii.tur shortly after winning the Gold Medal in the Mens Mogul competition at the AOlympic Winter Games standing in front of the pop-up Coco-mart tent with the caption "This is where I got my gold medal goods from!". It is believed that Mavazoji has already received a personal services contract officer from the CoCoCo Logistics and Holdings Company.
Recently, the CoCoCo Logistics Company has also opened their own twii.tur account which they have largely used to convey information across the Turorian Weather & Information Interchange about the types of things that most users care absolutely nothing about, such as what the Top 10 Goods are being held in Surplus in CoCoCo Warehouses across Atlantian Oceania. They even went so far as to invite other entities and nations to respond to their twii with the list of their Top 5 Goods in Export.

About Nationstates Sports
The Nationstates Sports Community, known colloquially as "NS Sports" is a community of nations that operate and run national and international sports competitions within and between nations through the Nationstates Forum system. All nations are welcome to Nationstates Sports, trans anarcho-communist lesbian catgirls or not. Typically politics are left at the door when competing in Nationstates Sports much as in real life, however, national elections, border conflicts and other traditional disputes regularly find their way into Nationstates Sports Roleplay threads when describing the backstories of nations competing. The current champion of the World Cup, Farfadillis, is in a period of national Anarchy which is a storyline that often takes precedence over the reporting on their individual match results.
Prior to the move from the jolt forums, Sports were integrated in the old "NationStates" forum. However, the growth in popularity of sporting competitions between nations in game earned the community its own forum when migrated back to the NationStates server. This has allowed a major blossoming in both the quantity and quality of Nationstates Sports Role-play though there may now be less 'cross posting' between genres. We welcome all to check out some of the active Nationstates Sports threads and signup for the 91st World Cup, the longest running sporting event in all of Nationstates, which will begin this spring ( viewtopic.php?f=7&t=517042 ).
Testimonial from an active Nationstates Sports user who wrote: Imagine, if you will, a young fifteen year older. He establishes himself as a star in his home turf, a god among men. Alas, his cries for relevance require that he go through the challenges that lay beyond the borders of his very own nation. He devotes himself to being the finest man in his sport. Alas, due to his brashness, he fails miserably.
He gets thrown around by the circumstances around him at first but then he keeps at it. He realizes that there's something out there for him if he keeps at it. He soldiers on, in spite of the lack of acknowledgement from the crowd. He reaches his lowest point... and then, a breakthrough happens.
He finds himself on top of an emerging nation. He finds himself linked to what he always wanted himself to be, a world champion. That's the story of a fictional player invented by an user that has long since left the site, yet remained alive through the efforts of other users which, for better or worse, allowed his creation to enter the Hall of Fame of the sport he was introduced as a player of.
NSS is a tight-knit group that allows such weird stories to be told and be read with a smile. It's a place where a race car driver can be confused with a pony. It's a place where one can spend an entire tournament running a multi-faceted war and yet not take full spotlight. It's a place that isn't even restricted to the laws of causality, let alone the laws of actual sports. There's a reason the place I spent most of the time at NS is NS Sports. Never had to ruin other people's days for that too. Why don't you drop by? You might like the peace, the place... and the music sessions at Friday.
