AOCAF 41
Terrorists to the left of me, Tsunamis to the right, here I am, hosting the AOCAF...
Greetings ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the 41st edition of the famous AOCAF Cup. This cup sees nation from all across the sporting region of Atlantian Oceania battle it out via the beautiful game and compete for the ultimate regional bragging right. Please do not post here unless you are a member of Atlantian Oceania or a moderator doing their business.
I am your host, The Inevitable Syndicate, and I hope to deliver a sleek and efficient cup that will hopefully serve as a fine piece of history in one lucky nation's trophy cabinet, and an important milestone to my NS career as a host. This is the everything thread, where you may post your Rosters, RP's, and hope that RAND is on your side when I post the scores.
The Inevitable Syndicate is a nation located in central Calania, just east of the Great Calanian desert that encompasses Ahlenfi and Ibex. West Guiana and a small portion of Krytenia sit to the north, and unclaimed fields/jungles/deserts/snow sits to the south. The nation is home to 60.6 million people, with approximately 60% of these people living in the top 20 cities. This AOCAF will be held in the south and central areas of the region, as due to unforeseen circumstances, there are problems in the north west.
