Hello, and welcome to Copa Rushmori V. The fifth edition of our little regional international football competition. This edition sees 25 teams from across Rushmore competing for the ultimate prize, a nice shiny trophy and to be immortalized forever on the Copa Rushmori wiki page.
The 25 teams have been split into 5 groups of 5 and each team will play one another once. The top 3 teams from each group and best 4th placed side will progress into a round of sixteen. The first game will be scorinated on Tuesday at 11pm GMT, and will be scorinated every other day thereon. Groups A-C will play in Pays de Horreur, while D and E will play in Palacios and Rodallega.
Stands shrouded in perpetual fog that rolls off the swamps, the majority of the architecture is undeniable Victorian and still stands after the British colonization of Pays de Horreur. It’s hot and humid in Pays de Horreur with an average temperature in the summer months of 28 degrees and despite the heat it rains quite regularly, which is nice considering the sweat you’ll build up.
The people aren’t just people here… with a demographic including lycanthropes, the living dead and the undead Pays de Horreur has an eclectic bunch of citizens, but don’t worry everybody is really nice… except the occasional evil genius or mad professor.

Perhaps tropical paradise is a stretch, but it’s not much of one. Lot’s of Pocoans retire out here, not that what those freaks from Queer Poco el Mono Ara do is pertinent information. Soft white sand, palm trees, lapping blue waves and copious amounts of rum and gigantic cigars make it a great place to relax. But there won’t be time to relax for the ten teams stationed here, they’ll have to battle it out for a place in the knockout rounds in stifling heat with little respite from a desperately needed cooling breeze.
Palacios and Rodallega is quite poor and if you fancy some jerk chicken you’ll be able to get some from a street vendor for less than a dollar. Stick to the big cities, because away from them there’s nothing to see in the villages or shanty towns, unless you are a humanitarian.
