Super-Llamaland IC Information
NATIONAL INFO
Super-Llamaland is a beautiful and diverse nation, from the serene forests of Kyrinson to the spectacular grey cliffs of Los-Juantos. Located in Eastern Esportiva, the nation of roughly forty-six million people is known for a successful democratic socialist government, some of the most environmentally-friendly policies in the world, and an absurdly well-funded educational system. The official language is English, although Arondic [OOC-ly comparable to Swedish], Yueyu [Mandarin], and Hicañan [Spanish] are all common. Llamaneans are known for their progressivism, education, environmentalism, and fanaticism for baseball.
Baseball is by far the most popular sport in the nation. Super-Llamaland's ten-year isolation from the rest of the world led to a decline in interest in the Llamanean Baseball League, as foreign star players such as Jeff Fitzhugh and Kayla Carey left the country, but at its peak it was one of the biggest leagues in the world. Now, Super-Llamaland has joined with neighbouring South Newlandia to run the even more-acclaimed Llamaphant Pro Baseball, while even local leagues have continued to maintain significant domestic interest.
STADIA
Four stadia, located in the cities of New Llama City, Emerald Springs, Kyrinson, and Los Juantos, will host IBS matches.
Tyler Rocke Memorial Stadium is located in downtown New Llama City, the Llamanean capital. Constructed in 1988, it holds 42,000 and has previously hosted the WBC30 Finals, the LPB All-Star Game, the LPB Multiverse Series, and a number of Baseball Club Championships. Formerly the home of the New Llama Cyclones, New Llama City's "second team" has taken the historic stadium over after the Cyclones have moved into a new stadium in the suburbs.
The capital of Super-Llamaland, New Llama City is known for its clean streets, modern architecture, bustling stock exchange, and strong universities. New Llama City is currently the nexus of Super-Llamaland’s fledgling bullet train system, which can take you from the City to any other host city within an hour and a half. It’s also home to some of the nation’s wildest nightlife, to many visiting managers’ dismay.
The Ultra-Dome is located in Emerald Springs, a medium-sized city in northern Super-Llamaland. It is a very new athletic complex, completed in 2010 and renovated in 2033, designed to host a number of sporting events. The 39,600 capacity is only for the baseball section of it, while it has also hosted the SuperLleague's Emerald City Harmony in the past, as well as WBC30 matches. The Ultra-Dome is host to the LPB's Emerald City Greens.
Named after its hot springs (which are, obviously, emerald in color), the city of Emerald Springs has become the technological center of the nation. It’s home to a number of fledgling startups at Innovation Park, one of the largest startup hubs in the world, as well as OuranosTech, the nation’s largest corporation of any kind. This gives the city a clean, modern atmosphere. Attractions-wise, it’s also home to the Emerald Tower, the nation’s tallest building, and the National Art Gallery.
Earnest Field is located in Kyrinson, near the northeastern coast of Super-Llamaland. Named after legendary Llamanean outfielder Jake Earnest, the stadium was built in 2025 for the Kyrinson Twin Pines. Recently renovated in anticipation of the IBS, its 46,000 capacity also makes it the largest and most modern of the four stadia hosting IBS matches.
Kyrinson’s location both near the coast and near the forest made it an economic hub for much of Super-Llamaland’s early history. More recently, though, the city has turned its efforts toward preservation, becoming the headquarters of the National Forest Reserve. The city itself is absolutely stunning - located in a valley at the edge of the forest, between beautiful Whetham Lake and the ocean, Kyrinson’s surroundings are one of the most beautiful sights in the entire nation.
Los-Juantos City Stadium is located in the city of Los-Juantos, on the southwesternmost point of Super-Llamaland. Although the 33,000-capacity field is a relatively new stadium, being built to celebrate the rebranding of the Peninsulara Kingfishers, it is believed to be replaced with an even bigger stadium in the future, and the IBS serves as a last goodbye for the soul of Peninsulara baseball. As the Kingfishers, the normal residents of the park, are incredibly bad at baseball, we hope that your teams will be able to provide better play than "LJCS" is accustomed to seeing.
Los-Juantos' location on the coast makes it a popular tourist destination, with visitors coming from all around to see the beautiful white seaside cliffs (on the western side of the peninsula) and white sand beaches (on the eastern side). It's also earned a reputation as a bit of a party city owing to its picturesque location and lower cost of living - hopefully your players won't be too distracted!
GEOGRAPHY & CLIMATE
Super-Llamaland has a wide range of climates and geographies. We range from flat, tropical Nikcoro in the south to the near-arctic, mountainous cities of Dinschria. However, the vast majority of Super-Llamaland is temperate and flat, with average temperatures at about eighty-three degrees in the summer and thirty-six in the winter. Super-Llamaland's coast, however, especially the southeast coast, has actually led to games being cancelled due to humidity. However, summer temperatures in the northern half of Super-Llamaland, which will host the majority of IBS matches, are generally warm, sunny, and pleasant.
TRANSPORTATION
The western suburbs of New Llama City's Arthur Moore International Airport, as well as Emerald Springs' Wagner International Airport, are both large regional hubs in Eastern Esportiva. Los Juantos' Peninsulara International Airport and Kyrinson's Bridges International Airport are smaller, but still very accessible from a variety of airlines and regions.
Within the country, Super-Llamaland has a wide range of eco-friendly public transportation, including the typical buses and subways that you would see in other places. Transportation is always cheap and usually free. A system of high-speed railways is currently being built, and high-speed rail service already exists between all four cities that will host matches. Taxis are nearly-extinct, and ride-sharing services are heavily regulated and less popular than public transportation.
South Newlandian IC Information
South Newlandia is a small Esportivan island with about four million inhabitants, located east of Super-Llamaland in the Sea of Llamaphants. South Newlandia is known for democracy, elephants, regulated capitalism and environmentalism, and the friendly population, happy to help you out if you run into any problems.
Getting around inside South Newlandia isn’t a huge problem, it is often more difficult to arrive in the first place. That’s the case with all islands, but South Newlandia has rather few flights and ships exiting and entering, mostly because of environmental regulations. Speaking of regulations; the sale of all drugs, including alcohol and tobacco, is illegal in South Newlandia.
When you arrive, the probably best options are the multiple high-speed trains that can get you almost everywhere in the country fairly quickly. If you don’t like trains, for some reason, there are also busses and cars to rent, but the streets aren’t always in perfect condition, and are far less convenient, to be honest.
The climate typically stays the same in South Newlandia throughout most of the year, with moderate winters and warm summers. In the places where games are hosted, temperatures around 15-25°C can be expected.
There are some wild animals in South Newlandia, but they will generally don’t disturb you if you don’t disturb them. Basically, just stay on the outlined paths in the forest and don’t do anything to anger animals, and you’ll be fine. Most of South Newlandias wild animals are friendly, like the elephants.
Stadiums:Elephant Stadium (37,500), Elephant Valley
The biggest South Newlandian baseball stadium, located in the capital city in the Northwest, was upgraded multiple times since it was first built. The stadium is not only the home of the South Newlandian Elephants, but has also hosted multiple play-off series during WBC51.
Elephant Valley is also the biggest city in South Newlandia at about 600,000, and is known as a major hub for just about everything, including media, politics, and sports.
Ratzupalfu Dome (25,000), Ratzupalfu
Built from scratch in the last few years, the Dome is the height of South Newlandian engineering ingenuity. Located near the centre of the country, Ratzupalfu is surrounded by the South Newlandian jungle, a dense forest with many animals. The stadium has no domestic team playing here, except for the local college team – for now.
Ratzupalfu is also known for their college football team, the Egrets, and being the place to see, study, or snuggle South Newlandian wildlife.
Dolphin Stadium (12,500), Newport
It used to be the second-biggest stadium when it was built just over a decade ago; now, with South Newlandia rapidly building baseball parks, it’s just average. It’s the home of the Newport Dolphins.
Newport is the second-biggest city in South Newlandia, located on the East Coast, and as the name suggests, is a major trade hub; but the city also has various universities.
Seaside Park (14,000), Walstreim
Seaside Park is located, as the name suggests, right on the shore of Walstreim, located in the Southeast of South Newlandia. The location and architecture makes it a visually stunning stadium; it’s also the home of the Walstreim Stingrays.
Walstreim, the 3rd-biggest city in the country, is also known as the city most known for soccer in the country.
