THE UNITED STATES OF DAMUKUNISince its founding in the year 2014 under the late uranium-mining revolutionary Naruto Shinagawa, the United States of Damukuni has been one of Esportiva's bastions of political and religious freedom. Since 2025, the nation has expanded its territory beyond Esportiva and onto the planet Sonnel, adding five states, and annexed the former nation of Islana Lunigo. As a result, English is now the official language, with Japanese and Lunigan Portuguese being accepted as "regional languages."
Damukunian geography on the mainland (comprising the sixteen original states and the Federal District, which contains the national capital of Atarashii-Damushuto) contains mountains near the middle of the country (just east of the national capital), a lush forest to the east, subtropical climates to the south, and a vast desert to the west. Temperatures are moderate, ranging from 6 or 7 degrees Celsius (43-45 degrees Fahrenheit) to 27 to 30 degrees Celsius (81 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit), except in the Great Western Desert, where the average yearly temperature can be 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit).
Football is the second most popular sport (after cricket) and the most geographically widespread sport in the United States, and it continues to attract large crowds, even in Port Flowers, the largest city in the Sonnel States, which is home to the only Sonnelian team in Damukuni's domestic league, the DFL (South Dre Intergalactic Football Club).OOC INFO:
The user behind Damukuni hosted the 9th GCF World Twenty20 (cricket) Championship. He was/is also South
Yerfilag (now a part of Eshan), which hosted the 26th Copa Rushmori; Fleuronordicia, which hosted the 3rd
International Cup of 7ball; Corcra and Tir Trodaithe, which hosted the 25th World Lacrosse Championships;
and is also the present curator of the Champions' League Twenty20, the cricket equivalent of the International
Domestic Soccer Newswires.
THE EMPIRE OF THE GOLDEN LOTUSThe Empire of The Golden Lotus (More commonly known as just Golden Lotus) sits in a part of Esportiva no one really knows where unless shown on a map with invisible ink. While mysterious internationally, this nation of 400K Wanderers bustle the streets of cities like Niviro, Konding, and Qarbin with bootleg shops, sketchy casinos, and more flashy lights and terrible food stalls than you could ever imagine! Under the loose hand of Emperor Luzhong Chi, Golden Lotus has retained relatively decent standards of peace and trade with other nations across the multiverse.
For the majority of the year, Lotus remains hidden among strange monsoons that blanket the mountainous country with mist for months at a time. When the weather isn’t an issue, the people celebrate with football, festivals, and even foolery. The Lotus League occupies much of the peoples’ interest, with fan favorites like Yánsè and Ultris Niviro dominating on several occasions.OOC INFO:
If you're looking for an enthusiast of sporting competitions, go no further! Originally joining NationStates in 2014,
the user behind Golden Lotus established the cat-loving state of Qasden as a better way to communicate with the
forum world. Having been a determined contestant in the IBC since Quebec and Drawkland's hosting of the 21st
tournament, the user has since took on as many roles as he could find. Other than scoring as a third party from
time to time, Lotus has formally (co)hosted numerous events, such as the 5th Maple Leaf Bowl (alongside Kep/Kebec),
the 26th World Lacrosse Championships, the 6th Atlantian Oceania Hockey Championships, the 7th (-3) International
Cup of 7ball,* the 71st Cup of Harmony (alongside Ethane), the 23rd International Basketball Championships (alongside
Abaja), and the 67th Baptism of Fire (alongside Banija), all with the nation of Qasden. Other than sporting events
themselves, for awhile, the nation/user also ran the NS Archery Orginization in an attempt to make archery exciting
to the multiverse.
Under Golden Lotus, however, the user has been less as active. Creating the nation in 2015 as the first true puppet of
his, the user had recently revived it after giving Islana Lunigo to co-bidder, Damukuni. Despite the lack of international
tournament presence, The Golden Lotus currently operates the only “successful” domestic football league under the
user’s several nations.
* Editor's Note: 4th International Cup of 7ball

We certainly welcome newcomers, however this is a regional championship for members of Esportiva, so I’m afraid you are not eligible to enter as you are not in Esportiva.
World Cup 81 will start after the Campionato, so I recommend signing up to that and the Baptism of Fire tournament for new nations that takes place just before it, if you haven’t already.
New members to Esportiva are always welcomed of course.
