Surname: Kyrk-ElmesslyerodarAge: 53
The brothers Ksarkus & Ksanus have been appointed from their role as managers of high-flying domestic team Ruzm Umturtannysser, where they will continue to manage after their duties with the national team are complete. They bring with them several pairs of players who turn out for RU. They are considered introverts since they do not satisfy the media with lurid tabloid escapades or outrageous press conference statements, and live quiet private family lives with their twin wives Mindilsaya & Mindirrasda. Ksarkus & Ksanus will favour a wide 4-4-2 formation, in which the attacking impetus comes from the flanks and the central midfielders will drop back to support the defence.
Surname: Whals-IairoldrodAge: 47
Appointed part-time from their role as highly-rated coaches at top-flight team Ashgartinghai-Duv, Yinus and Yinnai are famous playboys who have yet to settle down, and are the exact opposite of the conservative Ksarkus & Ksanus. Tipped for greatness as managers, they will need to calm down first. Some consider them a poor role model for the younger players in the team, and there is no doubt their lifestyle is of great public debate which may have prevented them from so far getting a top managerial appointment. In their playing career they experienced moderate success with A.-Duv, and prior to that with Volstur Torormquatia & Ruzm Ariaeromo: all good top flight clubs.
Surname: Hosbine-EnvesessturrayAge: Unknown
The Scrutinisation Office, or SO, is part of the state security system, with a specific role to assist Monozygotes in making the right life choices in keeping with Monozygotic twinculture. Ghanix and Tsasix have been appointed to the football team travelling to United Gordonopia to make sure the Monozygotes are not overly exposed to the liberal and dangerous ways of the inherently Odd hosts, as well as all the Odd teams they will be meeting. It would not do for a Monozygote to fraternise with the Odd community, nor to believe everything they see and hear in an infamously unreliable Odd state like UG, where pro-singleton propaganda is rife and dangerously subtle.
The less said about the filthy goalkeeping singletons, the better. It is not polite to mention their surnames unless absolutely necessary. Of the goalkeepers, Tzim is probably considered the best one and will likely start most games, unless he gets busted for stealing hotel property or something - you know what the Odds are like. Although, of course, these three unrelated Odds (a quite repulsive thought) are not permitted to stay with the team in the hotel and will be dossing at a nearby one-star B&B, under the watchful gaze of Officers Tzaj & Tzak of OXO (Office for Cross-Referencing the Odds).
Surname: Bressale-HatthertherveressAge: 24Team: Ashgartinghai-Duv
Biqaq & Biqal, the first choice defenders for The MZ, are well known to coaches Yinus and Yinnai who have been responsible for much of their progress from youth teamers at A.-Duv to the top defenders in the country. Considered natural leaders, they have inherent motivational talents and will be among those to step up when the going gets tough. Big, brave, and good on the ball, any attacker will have a hard time getting past them.
Surname: Thaldl-IssrayemkimrynAge: 18Team: Ruzm Umturtannysser
This is a pair for the future, according to the managers Ksarkus & Ksanus. The managers should know: this is one of the four pairings selected from their club side. They have done well to get a call-up for the national squad, though they are likely to feature little with Biqaq & Biqal ahead of them. Jolam & Jolal are exceptional athletes and may well be considered the fastest defenders in Monozygotia. They eat kilometres for breakfast in morning runs, kilos for lunch in the gym, and carbs for tea.
Surname: Qud-AriaeromoAge: 30Team: Ruzm Ariaeromo
Among the seniors in the team, these one-club home-town heroes are famous grafters who may lack a little flair for the average full-back, but they work like trojans up and down the flanks and provide excellent cover and support for the wingers ahead of them. Ksarkus & Ksanus have already stated they will be the starting defenders out wide, suggesting they are going for workmanlike grit over glinting diamonds in this competition.
Surname: Stryt-TorrodtanhatuAge: 23Team: Latth Osildelmeldu
They may play for the unfashionable Latth, but Azich & Ajilix are much admired young defenders who will surely one day turn out for one of the better teams in Monozygotia, with the national managers reportedly calling them up to trial them ahead of signing them for Ruzm Umturtannysser. They are famously brave, diving in fearlessly for every 50/50, and will not be happy if they don't come off the pitch at the end of the game with a good amount of blood - their own or the oppositions - down their shirts.
Surname: Lumv-UntinauskomoAge: 25Team: Ruzm Umturtannysser
Another pair from the manager's club team, Izlende & Izlos will, along with strikers Etzlende & Azilende, probably be the stars of this team. The fact that they also play together in the league means they have a good understanding with the forwards already and will be hard to resist. The first choice wingers are also from RU, meaning the forward half of the team will have that experience together and should impress. Izlende & Izlos are extrovert characters, with plenty to say for themselves and certainly not afraid to showboat unnecessarily at times.
Surname: Gasttina-EnvesessturrayAge: 22Team: Volstur Torormquatia
The back-up midfield pairing are a real pair of oddballs* from the famously eccentric Gasttina family of Envesessturray. Unpredictable but often brilliant in the midfield. More future stars.*Oddball is a poor translation: in Monozygotic, 'oddball' is a highly insulting term, usually only referred to as 'the O-word' because it is so inflammatory, what with it's connection to the dirty criminal singletons.
Surname: Quydl-EthontasmosAge: 19Team: Ruzm Umturtannysser
More Ruzm players representing the nation, Ghanyesal & Ghanos will be the youngest players in Ksarkus & Ksanus' starting line-up at just 19, providing width with their marauding runs and adding strength even with their tender years, being physical and combative wingers who will link up nicely with Etzlende & Azilende. They like boxing too, and wrestling, and larking about in mud and water, and manly things like that.
Surname: Zhitv-CerenthatirAge: 33Team: Umturtannysser Llufskal
These are a pair of old heads from Ruzm's cross-town rivals Llufskal, no doubt brought into the squad to provide some experience and calming influences on the team - although they have no experience of international football, this being the first ever tournament The MZ have competed in. And they are hardly calming: well known as committed extroverts, they will be mostly on hand to provide parties whilst on tour and guidance into how to trash hotel rooms.
Surname: Blinnz-UmturtannysserAge: 27Team: Ruzm Umturtannysser
Likely to be the stars of the show for The MZ. Yet more from Ruzm, there is almost no-one who would dispute that Etzlende & Azilende are the strikers of the moment in Monozygotia. Poster boys for twinculture, the Double Government hopes to exploit them mercilessly to promote the cause of Monozygotism, though no-one in the Government can quite agree on what precisely that means. Playing all their careers for their home-town club, they are fan favourites although they are known to be rather lazy players: but in the domestic system of rush goalie where goals can often be left exposed, the most effective striking tactic can often be the the goal hanger and these boys are expert at that.
Surname: Rhunn-IngwardarsamAge: 26Team: Ashgartinghai-Duv
A very fine pair of back-up strikers, Ixalek & Ixil have been brought in by the coaches Yinus & Yinnai who work with them daily at A.-Duv. Less prolific than the Blinnz-Urturtannysser boys, and more hard-working, they don't cut quite the same glamorous jib but can be relied upon in a fix.

RP Permissions & Notes
My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:
Choose my goalscorers Y
Godmod scoring events Y
RP injuries to my players Y
Godmod injuries to my players Y
Hand out yellow cards to my players Y
Hand out red cards to my players Y
Godmod other events Y
Anything goes, more or less. But please read the above on Monozygotic culture and keep players behaviour within the cultural constraints outlined: the Monozygotes are culturally ingrained to dislike singletons, for example, so will not forge friendships or, gods forbid, participate in sexual encounters of any kind with anyone other than identical twins.
A NOTE ON INJURIES, SUBSTITUTIONS, SENDINGS-OFF
Technically the Monozygotes only have one substitution option: because they will always replace players in pairs, they will have to double sub when necessary and will not use a third sub which would leave one twin on the pitch alone, and this never happens in unforced play. With a sending off, there is no easy way to replace the twin of the sent off player. In domestic Monozygotic football, a sending off means both players leave the pitch, but in the case of standard international association rules football, the twin stays on: they will be pretty useless though, for psychological reasons.

It was painfully evident that Kitsuneshima's false nine formation was not going to do their chances of victory any favours. Right from the start, I could see that the unconventional formation utilised by Mihashi only robbed her team of a central focal point for their offence - basically, without a true striker to feed, the rest of the team were consigned to passing the ball around the opposition half to no effect.
The Kitsunes were, plainly put, completely ineffectual in their play. Mihashi may have taught them just how to play the ball in neat little triangles, but that is merely a useless parlour trick that won't get them by many top teams at international level. They were tepid, uninspired, I would even go so far as to describe them as clueless; at this rate, it wouldn't surprise me if they were to be eliminated in the group stages.
Worthless play from the Kitsunes. Their defence was a mass of holes, since their wingbacks had the unfortunate tendency to stray too far up the pitch. That overtly attacking mindset allowed the Fiendish Snackers to fully exploit the vast tracts of space that were left behind by their marauding runs; these breaks down the flanks directly contributed to two of the Snackers' goals. Furthermore, the attacking aspect of the Kitsunes also left much to be desired, despite them committing a host of men forward for the attack. Mihashi needs to wake up from her idealistic fantasies and face reality; they are never going to get anywhere by randomly cramming men into the opposition half.

So that grapes may grow in splendour

Wine that will nourish us for all time,
Comforting those who are lamenting,

Welcome! If you're reading this, then you've either made it to Taijan or someone you know has made it back; either way, very impressive. If you're just arriving to the island, chances are you're in Coco Bay or St. Christopher, and if you're anywhere else, chances are you were smuggled and are here illegally. No worries, there is no immigration service to come looking for you, but we can't recommend that you apply for a job or attempt to draw benefits, either. In any case, whether it's your first step or your last, you've done a good thing in picking up this guide, and we hope you'll treasure it, hoard it, and refuse to share it with anyone else, regardless of price (we have to make our money somehow, you know).
The Triple-B has been the travel publication of choice for Taijanis and guests alike since its inception in 1975 in the student press office of St. Jermaine University. Currently in its twentieth edition, it has been published by Taijan's premier lifestyle magazine, Green Living, since the fourteenth published in 2001, but setting aside a glossier cover, color illustrations, and wider distribution, Green Living's footprint on the guide has been limited. It is still available only in print, only in Taijan, and it still contains the best, most realistic, most down-to-Earth advice for getting around on the green island.
You'll notice a few things that set this book apart from other guides, such as the Lonely Multiverse and some of Esportivan Sun's publications. First of all, we do not rate on any kind of numeric scale, because in Taijan we believe everything has its value. Second, this is not a tourist's guide by design; we won't tell you where the best view is, or which hotels have the best rates. We encourage you to travel, not to tour, to participate in and experience each place as you visit it, regardless of where you visit, Taijan or abroad. Tourists see only what they want to see; travelers explore a place in its entirety and become a part of it. Finally, the authorship of this guide is a closely-guarded secret, and we accept no kind of gifts in order to ensure our objectivity.
This book begins in Coco Bay and proceeds clockwise around the island to St. Christopher, then Nova Algiers, Nova Tunis, then into the interior at Montem Virid, and then to New Zion and finally St. Ignatius. This route was selected for simplicity's sake, and we encourage you to deviate from it and to let your own Taijan trip be delineated by what you feel, not by a certain itinerary. Intercity travel in Taijan is easy and cheap, and you will have no difficulty getting back for your flight home--that is, if you want to.
Bon Voyage,
Kimberly Brock
Travel Editor, Green Living Magazine
