A Timeline of Ross Herschel's Fascinating History with Newfoundland Highlanders- Year 1
BY RYAN LARKIN, 11:11, MAY 3, 2023
Ross Herschel is now a latest member of the Attawapiskat Broncos, but it took him a long way to somehow end up with the Mile High team after getting touted as the Highlanders' QB to be on 2021 QFL draft. A former first overall pick, the player's partying habits and lack of self-control have shadowed his less-than-expected performance with the Highlanders as further calls and incompetent dealings with him have led to the Quarterback getting driven out of town. After a long court preceeding over a domestic violence case, he ended up in the Broncos team that desperately needed a replacement Quarterback after the retirement of franchise quarterbacks Nathan Akiak and Peyton Bundchen. How did this all happen in two years?
May 2: Ross Herschel is drafted 1st overall by Newfoundland Highlanders, who just finished 2-14 on what's arguably not even the franchise's worst season in history. The former golden boy of the Beyreuth University had been projected as consensus first overall pick, but the decision turned out to be much longer than expected of him, as the Highlanders management was in doubt over his inability to do well in big games (only led the Beyreuth Lions to playoffs once, a quick exit at the hands of Ottawa) and of course his partying habits.
May 18-20: Herschel spends his Seokga Tanshinil (Buddha’s Birthday) weekend partying at Laguna with Mathieu Rosenberg-Chang. Considering his reputation back in Chicoutimi, nobody gets surprised him being at what’s considered the most upscale and rowdy of nightclubs in Semarland. The new Highlanders’ head coach Louis Kim describes the situation and just says that “he is coming as who he is, in territories expected of him.” With Herschel’s reaction, it’s seldom surprising: “I go hard, stay double and do double by living life to the fullest and play to the edge.”
June 15: A stoned Herschel is detected on a local dispensary near Trojanajara after a workout session in La Baie, his hometown. He is asked for a signature by a visitor, which he graciously does on her Steelers’ jersey. When this gets posted on her instagram, the Steelers nation is not so happy about it.
June 29: Herschel says he is “thrilled to start for the Highlanders” and that “nothing will change from his old ways”.
July 2-4: Training camp’s only a couple of days away and guess what? He’s out again. This time he’s at Iztapalapa, California region, where he’s seen partying like usual.
July 18: The Atlantic reports that the organisation is terrified of his off-field behaviour. Once again, he’s out clubbing on a Sunday night to celebrate the news that his jersey became the highest selling in the QFL within first two weeks of training camp. Holy.
August 8: Herschel is unable to start the preseason with Highlanders due to a medical emergency, the exact circumstances behind which is still unknown to the greater public.
August 15: On the Imperial Day, Herschel makes much-anticipated debut for the Highlanders. On his unofficial QFL debut he makes an impressive showcase, going 23-41 for 280 yards while rushing for 18 yards on 3 attempts. His performance is described as “highly promising”, “impressive” and “solid”.
August 17: He stays quiet, for once, on the Pierre Henri IV Day.
August 22: He gets ejected very early into the second quarter when he flips the bird to the very same Steelers’ sideline during a 38-26 loss. “I didn’t do a good job at controlling myself after that particular player and am really sorry to the organisation for that,” Herschel says after the game. He is later given a warning and
August 28: Kim named Carlos Sanchez, not Herschel, the Highlanders’ starting quarterback. This instantly draws controversies and divides the Highlander fanbase and national media as they argue about what this could mean.
September 16: Herschel makes his QFL debut in a game against the Gaspe Patriotes. He finishes the second half of the game completing 18-30 for 217 yards and a Touchdown on what eventually becomes a 47-12 loss.
October 9: On the Hangeul Day showdown, which is ironically also the Thanksgiving Saturday, he starts briefly on the away game against Steelers. It is brief, as he gets booed out of the game on both entrance and exit from the sideline. Sanchez did no better than him, as the Highlanders lost 30-0.
October 25: After celebrating a fourth-quarter TD, Herschel decides to celebrate by stomping on a terrible towel. This immediately infuriates the Steelers fans worldwide, and of course the team. The very next play he is given a double-team tackle by Steelers’ linebackers Connor Talbot (a Saint John hometown boy) and George Bartkowski and leaves the game. The Highlanders win for once, however, by beating the Steelers 31-16 (!!!).
October 26: Highlanders GM Terry Hendrickson says that Herschel is “done for the season” due to the aforementioned injury. He also says that he believes Herschel is the absolute future starter down the road. “the team needs to be built around him,” He said, to a packed media crowd in Blue Point Stadium. “When he gets the opportunity, he will show it and I’m sure the team will step up a level as well.”

With their playoff hopes on the line, the Lions were able to get a big 7-42 win over The Unified Isles. Isles has struggled all this tournament, and the Lions just wanted them to suffer worse. "This game was, and probably will be, the best and biggest victory we had all tournament. But good games don't mean to sleep. Remember, we are in this to get better and better. If we don't get better, we won't succeed.The offense finally woke up, which was a BIG boost. Let's get back to work fellas!" Says head coach Josi Tueyuté, this time leaving the conference with a grin on his face. In the first quarter, the Isles QB threw a 12 yard bullet pass to his WR. Two plays later, it was intercepted by the star CB Henry Turusi, to put the Lions on their opponents' 22 yard line. 4 minutes into the quarter, Desna Osopno (QB) passed to Willis Efiomo (TE) for a 22 yard touchdown. When The Unified Isles got the ball back, the QB did a handoff to his RB, who was stuffed. 2 plays later, the QB threw another bullet pass, this time they gained 26 yards. They were at their own 46 yard line, but this time when The Unified Isles QB passed short, the ball got snatched away and intercepted by Lema Megusu (CB). He then ran it in for a touchdown with 3 minutes left in the first quarter. It was now 14-0. When The Unified Isles got the ball back, more trouble had come. The QB got sacked for a 9 yard loss on 1st down, then he threw a 16 yard pass, then got sacked again for a 7 yard loss. It was 4th and 10 on their own 30 yard line. At the end of the first quarter, The Unified Isles punted.The Abajans were on their own 21 yard line. Desna Osopno (QB) began the second quarter with an incomplete pass, but 1 play after that, the play of the game happened. Malik Mafausa (RB) ran for 79... 79 yards for a touchdown. Lions fans cheered while fans from The Unified Isles had either left or watched in agony. 6 minutes left in the second quarter, The Unified Isles QB started giving the team life. On 2nd and 5 on their own 34 yard line, the QB scrambled for 14 yards. Then he passed to his TE for another 14 yards. Their RB ran for another 21 yards.... Within 2 minutes they were on the Abaja 17 yard line. The QB found his WR open for a touchdown. 2 minutes left in the half, and it was 7-21. Abaja failed to reach field goal range, as they went 4th and 7 on their opponents' 48 yard line. Then there was the half.
Halftime, Abaja led 21-7. In the start of the third quarter, Abaja had ball. 1st and 10 on the 20 yard line. Bobby Odendé (WR) caught a pass for 32 yards, and caught another one for 20. Vincent Oleamu (HB) ran for 14 yards. Desna Osopno (QB) turned on the jets and scrambled for an extra 6 yards. They were then on The Unified Isles 10 yard line. Desna Osopno then passed to Mohammadu Shepada (TE) for a touchdown - or was it? No. He was ruled down on the 1 yard line. Vincent Oleamu (HB) then dove in for the touchdown. Abaja lead 28-7. When The Unified Isles got the ball back, it was a living hell for the QB and the RB's and HB's. The Abajan defensive line was playing as fierce as Banija did against The Unified Isles a few days ago. Jacob Nebasu (ROLB) got a sack on the QB and 2 plays later Nikola Juvaswo (DE) got back to back sacks. The opposing team punted on 4th and 27. Zair Macosa (WR/PR) got the punt and ran it all the way for a touchdown! The score was 35-7. The third quarter ended, and the fourth quarter began. The Unified Isles started gaining more yards, going on a 42 yard drive, until the QB threw another interception. Henry Turusi (CB) caught another one. Abaja was back on offense. Malik Mafausa (RB) ran for 8 yards, then 3. Desna Osopno then got sacked from the left side. It was now 2nd and 18. Desna Osopno threw another pass to Mohammadu Shepada (TE) for 28 yards, then to Zair Macosa (WR/PR) for 14 yards, then to Mohammadu Shepada (TE) again for 16 yards. They were at The Unified Isles 17 yard line, but failed 1 pass, and Malik Mafausa (RB) was just short of a first down. 3rd and 1 now. Desna Osopno then found Bobby Odendé (WR) for an 8 yard touchdown! Oh wait, it was a holding call on the offense. The opposing team accepted and Abaja was now in 3rd and 6. Malik Mafausa (RB) could not make the first, as he got stuffed. The Lions attempted a field goal on 4th and 7, but the kicker missed it. The Unified Isles regained possession on their own 14 yard line, but the same happened. Floki Jensa (DE) tackled their RB for a loss of 3. Then Jacob Nebasu (ROLB) tipped away a pass from The Unified Isles' QB. 3rd and 13, and the QB gets sacked for a loss of 4. They punted yet again. Vincent Oleamu (HB) ran for an extra 12 yards for Abaja. The next play, Desna Osopno (QB) fumbles the ball. Luckily, the offensive linemen were there to leap on the ball, though they lost 12 yards. Desna Osopno then passed to Bobby Odendé (WR) for 38 yards. Mohammadu Shepada (TE) also caught a pass for 22 yards, and Desna Osopno scrambled in for a 5 yard touchdown! It was now 42-7 with 47 seconds left in the game. The Unified Isles was unable to score before the game ended. Abaja ended up with a total of 6 sacks, 3 interceptions and 1 touchdown on defense. Mohammadu Shepada (TE) had 7 catches for 103 yards and Bobby Odendé (WR) had a total of 5 catches for 121 yards. Desna Osopno (QB) was 25/38 and had 313 yards, and 2 TD's. Malik Mafausa (RB) had 16 carries for 122 yards and 1 touchdown.

How to tell if you're a Quebecois
Writers behind this list: Julien was born and lived most of his life in Montreal, Montreal; currently he's on a three-year internship on a local company in Halifax. Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Lara currently lives in Kingston, Frontenac, where he currently works as an engineer. He's also lived in Attawapiskat, Baie-Comeau and , and is currently married to an Abitibian (from a small city with many lakes named Ste-Agathe-Marie).
If you're a Quebecois....
- Your chance of being a committed republican is very low. When it comes to the term 'republican', the term probably means opponent of the monarchy in all cases here. A conservative would mean a conservative. You think that the King hasn't put a foot wrong, and may or not think about the interesting possibilities had the Pierre Henri IV (father and predecessor to current king) not succumbed to the heart attack 11 months into the monarchy, but you would never think of Quebec becoming a republic. That'd be absurd.
- You're familiar with Han Sol Goh, Etienne-Luc Perrier, North by North, Janine Walters, Mitchell Parkinson, Yu Min Park, Doctor Wintle, Avril Desbarats, Michelle Desjardins, Evgeni Koronin, Georges McLegan, Mikael Skovgaard, Barclay Street, 3 days before heaven and of course the power couple of Janice Tremblay and Bon Gu Yi.....
- You get at least 5 weeks a year, along with many holidays. Often you travel, but in special times always make sure to stay home and be with family as tradition suggests them to do so.
- You know the ins and outs of hockey, the so-called the fifth religion of this state, and probably know at least enough to give advice to your club(s) manager- whether on a national, professional, collegiate or junior level doesn't matter at all. It's no different with football and gridiron- it's common to see regular brawls between Saint John Steelers and Gaspe Patriotes fans. Often they also tune into other pro sports, most notably handball, basketball and volleyball, and give some love to amateur sports like fencing.
- You get your information from any combination of television, newspapers or radio, though radio nowadays is more popular for listening to music or sports broadcasts in remote communities. Reading newspapers, for some, is a way to start the day in breakfast tables.
Many religions, countless feasts and frequent holidays later..
- You're quite likely to believe in whatever the religion you're part of and observe special holidays, but don't go to temples/churches very often. If you're entering any place of worship, wearing at least decent attire is important or else you'll be removed on sight. You also celebrate and follow many pagan holidays too. The church is fine with it.
- A bathroom usually does not have a bath in it unless they are older houses from years back. Usually it only has toilet and shower. A separate W/C is called as such.
- If you're in bigger or major cities, you usually rely upon metro, buses or in some cities, streetcars. They're usually reliable, on-time and frequent. The road conditions at some cities are absolutely terrible due to the cities' long history or difficult geography. It doesn't necessarily mean that'll be the case for every major city- we hear too often of complaints from native capitolians (those from Quebec City) about how auto-driven Kingstonians are. Of course, if you're outside bigger cities, you will have a lot harder time accessing public transportation, so it might be a good idea to have a car then.
- When going out of town, trains are good. They're fast, reliable and usually gets you to places. You often end up taking buses, however, since it's lot cheaper and often gets you to places in countryside that are not as accessible by trains. Planes can work the best in ultra-long distance domestic services, simply because of how vast the land is. It would be insane for you to not take a flight from Halifax to Winnipeg or Iqaluit, especially when other options will have you spend a couple of days on road.
- You probably own a cell phone, television and a washing machine. Often you would just leave it out to dry, however, so sometimes you might need ironing and actually taking note of weather. Your place is certainly heated and has its own washroom. You either eat at a taller table sitting on chairs or a shorter one where you sit on ground and eat. This usually varies on region, background and the person.
- Shoes are always removed once you enter the house, and washing your hands is an absolute.
- You expect, as a matter of course, that phones will work. Getting new phones is a routine thing for people.
Have a drink....maybe a meal to....and a cigar....
- You don't consider dogs, cats, monkeys or guinea pigs to be food-- otherwise all things are eatable.
- You think of lots of fast food and canned stuff as cheap food, and on any given day would rather go to an open-air market. After all, they are terrible and why would you not want to socialise on a cafe or market instead? You mix shopping back and forth between supermarkets and local shops. Either way, on most given cases, you'd go for an alternative with healthier, tastier options with little bit more expenses.
- Some people kill for their own food, others don't. Most people do already own a garden or cottage/second home/dacha, so they often spend a lot of time there on summers collecting food. Picking berries, mushrooms and even in some cases medicinal roots or seasonal vegetables (termed Namul, as always even if you're not of Korean descent). Canning or preserving foods off wild is also common and often expected.
- You like your bacon crisp, and will consider the otherwise with intrigue / suspicion.
- The biggest meal of the day is dinner.
- When it comes to what's on your dish is really anyone's guess. It can be a Korean cuisine one evening on your grandparents' place, elegant French cuisine with your date, or even a familiar caribou steak while out camping over the summer. The Quebecois cuisine is really a diverse, listless and eternal mix of various ethnic cuisines that it's hard to distinguish a typical aspect of it. You do remember eating various forms of poutine when hungry and in need of snacks though- that's probably the only thing people find in common with it.
- They say you need to be 18 to smoke, but nobody checks. Smoking is very popular and you can do it anywhere, though it is entirely fine if you opt out of it- no pressure on that. There is a greater divide between age groups when it comes to what they smoke; the older age groups usually prefer cigarettes, while the younger members of the society prefer marijuana (though some do take cigarettes without reluctance as well). No surprise that Quebec produces 30% of Multiverse's marijuana supply. And of course, Quebecois marijuana is the best in the world because it's not only potent, but also very accessible. This does not mean they can do it wherever they go: it is prohibited to smoke in school (up to university, where the rules get more lax) and other government properties, as well as in subways due to potential fire and health hazards on a confined space.
- It is pretty much the same with alcohol. Quebecois drink a lot, though not in the binge drinking style some foreigners happened to have found doing so on streets, because they keep things consistent, accessible and gentle. Beer (Biere/Maekjoo) is a nice mild beverage Sometimes you see people drinking a can or two on the way to or back from work or even school in times. And based on what you've figured out with the word 'from school', teenagers drink too; they mostly stick with beer and wine, as well as occasional sips of traditional Korean beverages when in family events. Traditional beverages you get gradual access to 'em as you get older and more mature, and there are hundreds of homemade / microbrewery-based ones that would cause some people to lifelong search of finishing as many as possible before dying. When it comes to others Whiskey and Vodka are drunk mostly by men, and they're usually okay- Quebecois are more into beer, wine and traditional beverages anyway.
Merry go round of politics
- The utilities system (in regional companies), post office and train system are all public and you like it that way. There is no reason for them to turn private and you're usually fine paying same prices across the nation, though changes in utilities system over past decade or so has been worrying for many. The telephone system's private, however, and you're used to seeing Quebecom, Telus and other regional companies putting their latest plans on subway ad spaces.
- There are 4-5 major political parties in Quebec, and you find it a good thing. They vary in political tastes, though in recent years only the Green Party's been the only one little bit more radical than the rest and NDP more social-driven.
- Socialism is a serious opinion. Some people still remembers communism from either their philosophy/politics class or older days.
- If a politican cheats on one's spouse, you believe that it's a personal issue and that it shouldn't harm one's ability to govern.
- There are a number of races, but fortunately it's not a big deal. Mixed marriages are quite common anyway and you grow up as a Quebecois. Someone with one black or one white parent would be somewhere in between, and people would just take it as that and move on.
- You're well aware that your country speaks three major languages -- but you most likely know how to speak two, or live in major cities. You probably learned the other languages (French, English or Korean) in school up to year 10, but never really had to use it a lot unless visiting other regions where they'd be useful.
- You'd respect someone who can speak German, Spanish or any indigenous language (unless with indigenous background) with respect. You probably studied a bit of aboriginal languages when growing up, and might have to use that when talking to your neighbours or some classes. If you went to more historic public or private schools, you certainly had to learn at least 2 years of Latin, something that was not fun but somehow worked well as you learned other Latin languages. For the other languages, they are considered an asset and people will give you props for that.
- You think most problems can be solved if people can work with each other.
- You do know that there is a strong court system in place for you to use it whenever there's a dispute or unfairness in businesses. Otherwise, you don't have a lot of reasons to go to a court.
- Income tax has been around 30% for years and you don't expect to change that for a while. Obviously other sales taxes vary from none to 15% from province to province, so this often gets heated.
Ties to Robes
- School is free up to age 18, unless you're educated privately. University of technical college is subsidised- in past it used to be around $6,000 Quebecois but since then the prices have become more varied between £3000 to £7,000, depending on institution and programs. Academic and athletic scholarships are readily available, and special arrangements are also there for those in need of financial arrangements.
- College (excluding graduate studies) is normally four years long, though on occasion people might take an extra year to do internships, co-ops or research project on an upper year.
- The date comes first: January 8, 2012 (the coronation day for Jacques IX). The decimal point is a dot, and a billion is obviously a thousands times a million.
- You remember few wars happening around your time and getting worried back then about possible impacts back home, but are relieved anyway that Quebecois did what was right and rebuilt many of the places after war. You would feel a lot of respect for war veterans and often hold events and clinics to make sure they get the best treatments.
- You expect marriages to be made for love, not arranged by third parties. Getting married in churches is a common thing, but it's fine not to do it. Depending on religious or ethnic background, you might do a traditional wedding in either your parents' place or local venue. You have a best man and a few bridesmaids, something that applies in most cases. Also, one wife one husband.
- If a man engages in coitus with another man, that's none of our business to care about. Safe to assume that one is a gay, but you probably don't care enough to ask.
Once on streets you're good to go
- Once you're introduced to someone around your age group (besides mostly the emperor and few big figures), you can call them with their first name. Occasionally you might hear some name used to call those in position or elderly (jonching), but often enough the use of them is loose and people'd understand that. You almost always call elderly people by their name and jonching, unless you're familiar with them to the point where it's acceptable to do so.
- Whether man or woman, you're often topless when at beach.
- You are expected to be able to do business without bribes. Bribing is often considering an insult to personal integrity.
- Most stores will take your credit card, the likelier it gets when you're in deeper ridges of countryside.
- Foreign films are subtitled, not dubbed. Fortunately there usually are subtitles in at least 2 of 3 official languages for the state, and in some communities other regional languages as well.
Contributions to World Civilisation
- Everybody knows that the very best artists are Quebecois. Due to the nation's multi-ethnic facet, as well as the vast nature and cruel climate, the Quebecois are experts at suffering and as you know well, true suffering = real, vivid art. All the best writers, composers, musicians, modern painters, filmmakers and of course dancers are Quebecois. Joo Hyeon Park, Panin, Henri and Marie-Anne Diaby, Walters, White, Yu Seok Park, Theriault, Lalonde-Carr, Jeong brothers and of course Fyodorovsky. You probably grew up having to study some of them in school and still argue about their works in times 'cause they come up often enough and people overseas might even ask depending on their interest/knowledge.
- You've seen and enjoyed various Quebecois films from time to time like Histories of Ivan Corcoran, Eugene Masterson, Les Garcons du Nord, Manchu and probably Purple Rain and 21. Outside of that you probably remember some imported movies and enjoying them.
- You know The Submarines, Les Grandieux, Rogue, Neil Chandler, Natalie Larouche, Joosaekchinhyi, Jin Yim, and Julien Deschamps. Alternatively you may prefer Jean-Alain Park, Soulwave, Mont. Charmante, Deep Charade and maybe Ice Patrol and Rodney Schoenhart.
- Privatisation of the Medicare......what? Um, no. No. and NO. Practically unthinkable. You can always count on excellent treatement whenever you're in dire situation. For others, you might have to wait a bit. Often on those cases you may as well just go to traditional medicinal practices not far away from your home though, so good chance you end up there.
- You spent a great deal of time studying Quebecois history in school. You also studied significant foreign history as well.
- You know that none have contemplated to conquer Quebec and that's mostly because of how fucking cold and isolated the nation is, right on northern end of Calania continent. You do know there are countries stronger and/or more dangerous than Quebec but nonetheless says that we remain a great military power, despite only participating in wars so often.
- More recently You expect the Quebecois forces to serve in peacekeeping missions, not fighting overseas on a war. Obviously the past couple of wars have warranted the Quebecois to participate though, so you kinda agree that they had to send the soldiers to do what's the right thing in Free Republics and Felix.
- You're used to seeing great variety in almost anything and everything you buy.
- You're used to buying ingredients when they're in season- they're natural that way and you find it natural as well.
- You mentally measure things in feet, pounds and litres and kilometres, though with last two older peeps might say pints/gallons and miles.
- You are not a farmer, though you remember having relatives or ancestors in countryside.
- Firing somebody has to be justified. Without doing so, the employer may have to pay for damages.
- You drive on left side of the road, no exceptions. You will also cross on any red light in front- no exceptions- and probably jaywalk a lot as well.
- There are parts of the city you'd want to avoid at night. Back in the day there used to be lots of Guayabalense or Valladar gangs around in some cities, mostly a relic of Valladar civil war and poverty in San Jose Guayabal as it transitioned into communism.
Bizarre peoples, bizarre allies, and bewaring others
- You think of Semarland as a pleasant country neighbouring them, but also understands that there are clear differences between Quebecois and Semars with many things; everybody knows too well about border control and how difficult it is to stop drug dealers along the patches of marijuana plantations up north. Most of them are too slow though, so that makes it fun for some good jokes to come off that. Anyways, you travel there quite often and might know somebody who's living there for whatever the reason. They seem to like it.
If you're in college, you probably went or plan to go there for an adventure traveling on a friend's car to there.- Guayabalenses you see quite a lot of, and probably know a few- most of them live as part of the mainstream society anyways. Some of them are blond, some of them raven-haired, so that's confusing, but oh well. They also happen to have a lot of businesses here and maybe neighbouring gangs as well....El Whirlo and the Gang Wars of Montreal are still familiar to many elderlies. They also happen to have few teams that you cheer for; good chance a couple of your favourite football players are playing in Liga Premier. Good place to vacation as well.
- Ko-orenites are close, very nice neighbours up northwest. A confusing place, given its recent change into an union of fuckton "nations" and their ability to shove millions of people on each of islands they have. They're one of the few people who understands Korean, though that's a minority of people so you end up talking in English or maybe French. With Ko-oren you've probably had a few products imported from there or went to a cruise to see the northernly nation of many islands. They have a pretty good football team that the Grim Reapers usually lose to in a very heartbreaking fashion.
- Vanorians are elves who seem to live for god knows how long. Also they're good at most sports and Quebec has trouble beating them.
- Valladars you see mostly on Saguenay region or bigger cities in central part of the nation. Some of them are farmers, others live in cities like others and do whatever the others do, so it's safe to say that they're no different than Guayabalenses. Their French or Spanish is little bit different in vocabulary and accent, but mostly comprehensible so communication's no problem. With Valladares, you remember visiting there sometime, and knows that Zachary Fortin's playing at Marinos Metropolis.
- You think of Cosumar as a very pleasant country to visit with lots of latest gadgets and technologies, and dragons. If you're a biologist, astrophysicist or engineer you probably remember visiting Cosumar for a project or excursion sometime in your lifetime or career. You probably know either somebody studying in Cosumar or vice versa, mostly because of how close the universities are in those exchanges. Sometimes you might watch CFL or whatever the collegiate league they have over there- fun stuff to watch, and they're as good as the home product. You like Cosumarites as individuals, but feels great rivalry as a team, mostly because of the similarities they have in many fronts.
- Vaugania's a longtime ally in Rushmore whom Quebec's fought with during Southern Rushmori War of 1939. We remember fighting with them to fight against those Norrish Nazis and came away with victory. Bloody cold place to go, some Southerners would say, and they love hockey and winter sports as much as we do so we get along. Lots of Vauganians here, same there, and lots of trades happen back and forth. Quite arrogant people you'd think, but when working together you tend work very well with them- mostly because both nationals are prideful peoples in general. You never get why their church is so powerful and people so devout though.
- You think of Norrehavn as a friendly nation, most importantly because of its historic ties and status in the Quebecois Commonwealth. With the nation itself you kinda see it as a literal mix of Vaugania, Semarland and some Czechs on southern end: They love football and hockey as much as we do, live in a country friggin cold and also speak other languages that you've probably studied in school. Some older people remember some submarines and others Holocaust and the Southern Rushmori War, to which the nation has dealt perfectly well.
You probably bought some furnitures and surprisingly-addictive food hailing from there, and traveled there.- Sanctiis are nutjob hyper-religious people who's been heading into better directions of late. On the other hand, you pity the Republicans for going the opposite way and often laugh whenever Chancellor O'Reilly's named. Dumpy O'Rumpy reminds people of dumplings, yum!
- Your opinions of Nuevo Caracas are mixed: Open and happy people who live in a sunny country, but they've also been through lots of conflicts and you feel that some newer immigrants (non-Quebecois/Guayabalenses) are pain on the ass. Those of Quebecois, Guayabalense or Valladar backgrounds are usually welcomed, given their socioeconomic status.
- Kirisakians are very good cooks, most notably for their excellent dishes using Wolfie meat. The Kirisakian culture shares many similarities to that of Quebec's, so both nationals are found quite often on each other's countries as tourists.
- Schottians? Excellent swimmers, nice people and live a peaceful but dull life on a small island.
- The nationality you joke the most about is the Caraquenos or Mertagnaises.
- You know all the leaders in Atlantian Oceania, or at least Calania.
La Mission Imperiale
- Christmas is in Winter. Unless you're Jewish, you spend time with family, put up Christmas trees and give presents. In New Year's Eve you usually celebrate with your friends or lovers.
- Good chance you've never left a message at the beep.
- You wouldn't expect both inflation and unemployment to be very high (say, over 10%) at the same time.
- Taxis are operated by mostly immigrants, and stories you hear from them are more or so bizarre and often complaining of how horrible Quebecois weather can be. They do know the city though, mostly thanks to every cabbie having to know good geography of the local geography.
- You care more or less what family someone comes from (especially when this "someone" wants to marry one of your children).
- The police in general aren't armed, but all forces have armed response units. Not that it matters as much as other places: many are well trained in martial arts and can deal with petty criminals.
- The normal thing, when a couple dies, is for the estate to be divided equally or at least accordingly between the children or family members.
- You think of Opera and ballet as elite entertainment, though people've been trying to make it more accessible lately. It's dependent on who you're as a person if you ended up seeing lots of plays or other performing art forms (traditional ones) not. Probably on countrysides you're more likely to go as a part of community activity or excursion to bigger cities or towns.
- As for most Quebecois colonies, you consider that it's good that they're independent, but that Quebec did a good thing by introducing access to newer civilisations.
- Journalists write about anything and everything but usually avoid the private life of public people. Unless tabloids, hey only do so when people choose to make their private life public, mostly due to how serious the privacy laws have become in recent years. Writing about private lives of the Royals is also considered a matter that ought to be taken carefully.
- You're proud of over 15,000 different types of food you can eat. Food competitions and youth cooking programs are highly popular. You may make voyages for eating purposes, in which you'd go from one restaurant after another to taste local specialties.
- You don't care very much what family one comes from, unless they're of the Valliere's and Han's (directories of the aristocracy).
- You think that a welfare state is important in forming a livable society.
- Being a lawyer is still an honourable profession, given how the demand has often outpaced the supply. Barristers and judges still wear gowns and wigs, and in some provinces other lawyers as well.
- The likewise is said for intellectuals. With a nostalgia for the 60s and Sylvain IV years (1979-2012), you think that intellectuals should have an important role in public life, for they reflect the society and guide them to its bettering.

The Lions have yet again pulled off another victory against the struggling Milaris 28-19. "I'm starting to see that our offense is slowly starting to get better and better by the day. That rest day really help our offense and defense to have some resting time. Though we have gave up 73 total points this tournament, we have scored 70 total points our last TWO games. If we continue to focus and get our heads in the game, we may have a good chance to get another win over Nassau-Hessen. Lets get back to work!" Says head coach Josi Tueyuté. In the first quarter, Abaja had ball first, and Desna Osopno (QB) passed to Zair Macosa (WR/PR) for 12 yards. Then Malik Mafausa (RB) ran for an extra 11. Bobby Odendé (WR) caught a pass from Desna Osopno (QB) for 24 yards. They did they same play, and Bobby Odendé (WR) caught another 18 yard pass for a touchdown! 3 minutes in, Abaja leads 7-0. When Milaris got the ball, the Milaris RB ran for 31 yards before being pushed out of bounds. Then, the Milaris QB got sacked by Floki Jensa (DE) for a loss of 8. Then, the Milaris QB passed to his TE, who then broke a tackle, and ran for 44 yards. Their drive quickly stopped, as Henry Turusi (CB) tipped away a pass and their RB got stuffed once and then only picked up 2 yards after. They settled for a field goal, and made it. 7-3 Abaja. The Lions got the ball, but went in a 3 and out. They punted. Milaris went on a 68 yard drive before making another field goal. In the second quarter, Vincent Oleamu (HB) ran for 18 yards and then Mohammadu Shepada (TE) caught a pass from Desna Osopno (QB) for 30 yards, and Malik Mafausa (RB) ran for 8 more. On the Milaris 13 yard line, Desna Osopno (QB) threw an interception. Milaris took advantage and scored a touchdown. Milaris then lead the game 13-7. That was half.
Halftime, Abaja 7 - 13 Milaris. However, the Lions started stepping up. They went on a 81 yard drive for a touchdown. 32 of those yards came from Malik Mafausa (RB). When Milaris had the ball, Jacob Nebasu (ROLB) got the sack on the QB for a loss of 6. Yáyá Buru (DE) stopped the RB for just a 2 yard gain. The QB then passed short, but it was broken up by Lema Megusu (CB). They punted to Abaja. Malik Mafausa (RB) ran for 6 yards, but a face-mask was called on the defense. Abaja got extra yardage. Bobby Odendé (WR) caught another pass for 18 yards, then another for 11 yards. Zair Macosa (WR/PR) caught a 22 yard pass. Abaja was in their redzone, but failed to score a touchdown. They settled for a field goal, making the game 17-13, Abaja leads. On the kickoff, the Milaris KR caught the punt, ran for 3 yards, then got popped. Milaris was able to recover, however, but they were on their own 15. Nikola Juvaswo (DE) got a sack on the Milaris QB for a loss of 9, then he tacked the RB for a loss of 2. The Milaris QB got sacked AGAIN for a safety. Floki Jensa (DE) made the play. It was now 19-13 Abaja. The Lions got the punt, and Zair Macosa (WR/PR) was able to return it for 34 yards before being tacked on the Milaris 21 yard line. The third quarter ended. The first play in the fourth quarter, Desna Osopno (QB) threw a bullet pass to Bobby Odendé (WR), who gained 17 yards. 1st and 10 on the Milaris 4 yard line, Desna Osopno (QB) scrambles in for a touchdown. The extra point, however, was blocked, Milaris recovered, but they couldn't score. 26-13 Abaja lead. Within 5 minutes, both teams punted to each other again. Milaris was suddenly on their own 8 yard line. The QB did a hand off, but the RB got popped by Nikola Juvaswo (DE). The ball rolled around, until a Milaris OL dove on it, and got tacked. However, the ball was already in the end-zone. Milaris gave up another 2 points on a safety. 28-13 Abaja lead. When Abaja got possession again, they went on a 23 yard drive before punting. Milaris then went on a 59 yard drive and ended up making a 34 yard field goal. 3 minutes left in the game, Malik Mafausa (RB) got 5 yards, then lost 2, then gained 3. Abaja punted again, and Milaris made another field goal on a 48 yard drive. 51 seconds left, Desna Osopno (QB) kneeled the ball twice and the game was over. Abaja's next game is a rematch vs Nassau-Hessen. Who will win?
