OK RLStates, I know we've never had one of these, but we all had fun at the Berlin Games, and I'm itching to show off my big, strapping lads again. Perhaps they can play in their gold medals?
Besides, the stupid Olympic Committee is considering leaving handball off next time. I HOST A GREAT TOURNAMENT AND LET NONE DARE SAY OTHERWISE. I swear to God I will burn them down. Anyway, we had better get a championship going here so we can all sig heil at the eternal champions, the perfect Aryan Men. We had six teams at the Olympics, so I'm shooting for six signups here.
All games will be at the Deutschlandhalle in Berlin. No Jews.
Signups: 2/6

You almost got it, it's actually 1938. So I guess you could call this the 1938 World Handball Championship.

PRESS RELEASE--FOR IMMEDIATE DISCLOSURE
A SOLID START FOR LE VERT
The anticipation was almost palpable in Freeport today as almost two thousand people gathered outside United Park to watch the handball match between Taijan and West Tyland on the big screen, as big a crowd as ever seen at a live United match. Across the city, and at other such viewing stations in cities across Taijan, cheers erupted as the very first Taijani handball team ever took the court. In a country where sports are often held up as evidence of strong regionalism that hinders national progress, the entire population has managed to come together behind Joshua Cho and his handballers, at least for this tournament.
The match started out slow for Le Vert, as the team came out in a primarily defensive formation that yielded few goals and proved too unwieldy to prevent West Tyland from taking an early lead. Halfway through the first period, however, an impressive deflection by goalkeeper Rasmussen sent the ball directly into the path of Joshua Cho, who drove in for a fourteenth-minute goal that would prove to be the turning point for Le Vert. The remainder of the game ran like clockwork, with both teams scoring at regular intervals until another play change allowed Taijan to take another lead in the fiftieth minute. Cho went on to score eleven points for Le Vert, thus setting a Taijani record in international handball.
"We played great," Cho told Licentiapacisterran news media after the game, "I mean, I can't complain, but we're going to have to play just as well against the New Egyptian Republic and Quebec if we want to have any hope of advancing." Cho strategically left out the team's opponent after Quebec, defending Olympic champions Cotdelapoms. "This was exactly how we need to play. Fast, smart, aggressive. If we can keep up this standard, and only if, we have a good shot at advancement."

To the Ancharmunn Foreign Ministry:
RE: Arson at the Handball Practice Facility in Cashlauncarriga
We are humbly sorry about the damages caused by the fire in the facilities in your territories, especially those caused by our own citizens. We are issuing this statement to your ministry to apologize for this incident, and to remand to your custody the individual - Shin Choe of Sacheon Province - and our preliminary reports regarding the investigation. While we are convinced that our citizen did not cause the fire that burned your facilities, we have considerable evidence that he did put kerosene into the water sprinkler system designed to extinguish any outbreak of fire because he "thought it would make the place shine." How and why he came this conclusion, how and why he managed to gain access to your sprinkler system, and how and why there was kerosene on the premises remains a mystery to us, but we leave our citizen in your capable hands. If your authorities should decide to press any criminal charges for his conduct, please inform us so that we may insure his rights as a Han national are not infringed unfairly.
Once again, we are sorry for the incident. We strongly encourage you to increase security for your plumbing systems in the hopes that such accidents do not occur again. We will educate our nationals not to play with your facilities beyond what has already been graciously provided to us for purposes of the athletic competition.

My fellow countrymen, athletes and artists, I hope that my story can be used as an example. As many of you have known, I grew up impoverished. With all due respect to my teammates, I didn't have anyone to pay for my career, I earned my right to be here. They have too, but it was a damn harder path for me. The JUR Team has a plethora of talent, and I respect and love every single one of my teammates. But i just want people to know, not everything is handed on a silver platter. I hope the impoverished youth can see by my contributions to this big organization and, more importantly, to this nation I love.
The Jahistic People are known for their fierce spirit and their own exceptionalism. If the JUR can make it past the Group play, we can say "we have arrived, we refuse to remain silent anymore!" Like we did when we founded our great nation. Handball is our national sport for a reason, we hold it in high regard for a reason. We are the JUR, we show that we have fighting spirit through this wonderful institution. The JUR will become a power, not through wars or backroom deals, but by sports.
Sports is our way. The Handball Team, is our way. We played a fierce two games. With our first victory, we've sent a sentence. Now let's type an essay
-- Julius Jacobson, official statement.

Munhwa Shinhwa, English Edition wrote:HAN HANDBALL TEAM HANDS ANOTHER RIOT; CRICKETS ROAR IN 29-12 WIN
CASHLAUNCARRIGA - From the start to the end, the Han Handball Squad have impressed both locals and foreigners alike. In two games, the Han Squad stand atop Group D with 4 points and a goal difference of 33, the highest of any team. Contributing to this strong performance is an unusually strong defense, conceding only 30 goals so far. A potent offense, led by the charismatic Kim Hak-Seop, is scoring goals wild as well, using strange tactics that have baffled opponents, observers, and critics alike. Perhaps it is most odd that - due to homeland restrictions preventing a large crowd of Han citizens in attendance - crickets have become the raucous fans to cheer on the team. Ancharmunn officials seem distressed at losing profits, but another official chided this challenge as "insignificant" compared to the fire disaster at a local community center that had served as the practice court for the Imperial Squad.
It seems odd for a society that has grown up under the recent sports phenomenon of football to field a team of handball players, but admittedly, this isn't a team full of seasoned professionals. "This is a team that's been put through a lot of work and practice," says Head Coach Pak Seung-Ho. "I can't say they're talented players, but we've been doing practice old style for a long time. What you're seeing out there is a mix of hard work and sheer luck." Sheer luck, indeed, as the squad that plays handball predominantly avoids using their hands, preferring to use their heads, chests, and on occasion knees (which are permitted). Nonetheless, the team has begun to grow into a top contender for the second round, with just three more matches ahead.
Next on the road are the unimpressive Krytenians, who have yet to publish their roster for closer examination. For all that we care, they could have sent goats to compete; hopefully, the Han beat them nonetheless.
***IMPERIAL CONSTRUCTION CONSORTIUM PLOTS RECONSTRUCTION OF LOCAL COMMUNITY IN ANCHARMUNN
GYEONGJU - A local consortium of construction companies has put together a plan to rebuild a community center in Cashlauncarriga, Ancharmunn - a quiet, rural town where the Imperial Handball Squad is currently participating in the 9th World Handball Cup after reports that a fire had burned it down. While much of the structure apparently remains intact, fire damage - exacerbated by the use of an accelerant - has left the building unusable, and local authorities have been quoted stating the building is "likely to be condemned". In a great act of charity, Chilseong, the progeniture of the rescued commercial giant Samseong; Dongcheol, a leading mining and heavy industries corporation; and Hanjin, noted airline and freight carrier; have teamed up to build a new community center.
A spokesman for the new consortium released a public statement for the public in Gyeongju: "We feel for the tragic loss of this central cultural icon in this town, and owing to our current commitments, we feel that it is our duty as guests to offer in return for the hospitality of these townsfolk and for our gratitude in hosting our people, we have decided to offer our resources to build anew their burned community center."
News of this plan has sparked largely public condemnation for a "pet project in some [foreign] country", lambasting the military regime for allowing commercial resources to be spent abroad, rather than on pressing domestic needs. "Half of the country is in total ruin," Kim Geun-Ha - head of the Han Reconstruction Society. "It's embarrassing to walk around the Gyeongju parks and charred trees still litter the paths! People in this country need shelters, they need food, they need security. Gang-related violence has sho through the roof, and this is after the government recovered these territories in the wake of the [terrorists] expulsion. What exactly do these Cha-mun-ni folk have to offer us in return? A bunch of kumquats or a basket of muffins? They don't deserve our pity."
An Imperial spokesman has declined to reply to rumours that this consortium was hastily planned as reparations for the damage allegedly caused by a Han national. Meanwhile, the military regime that continues to manage the government on behalf of his Imperial Majesty, the Yeongmu Emperor, has been unusually quiet on matters pertaining to the Imperial Handball team or the fire incident in Ancharmunn.
