The Australian Football League Cup
3rd Edition - Damukuni
Welcome to the third edition of the Australian Football League Cup, hosted by the Board of Control for Cricket in Damukuni, the de facto arbitrator for Australian Rules football in the United States of Damukuni.
ABOUT DAMUKUNI
The United States of Damukuni, or Damukuni as it is generally known, is a nation originally founded as a religious colony branching off from the somewhat irreligious nation of South Otselic. The theocratic church was not in control of the land for thirty days before it was overthrown by a coalition of uranium miners, religious separatists, and pro-Otselician diplomats led by Naruto Shinagawa, who served as president of the Federal Republic of Damukuni on and off until his untimely death in office in the year 2015, which led to a civil war between Shinagawa's government and the Damukuni National Catholic Church, of which the most famous event was the capture of then-star-striker Wisdom Tracey by the pro-Shinagawa Confederation of Damukunian Free and Associated States. The C.D.F.A.S. later formed transition governments in six of Damukuni's fifteen states, and today operate as a semi-independent coalition of states while still belonging to the Union. Additionally, Damukuni operates two territories in other regions of the multiverse: Damukunian Greater Otselicia S.A.R. in the Practical United Region of Tamriel and Damukunian South Dre on the planet Sonnel, the latter being the first interplanetary land claim made by the nation.
Today, in the year 2022, Damukuni, in its second republican form, is a thriving, developed nation of about 191 million Damukunians; about 38% are native Damukunian, while about 53% are of Otselician descent. About 9% are from other ethnic backgrounds. Under President Colbert May, the nation's first opposition leader, a grand economic initiative has begun to accelerate multinational and domestic corporational growth; the result has been a covering of the nation's buildings in corporate logos over the last five years. Additionally, while freedom of religion is actively protected both federally and at a state level, about 45% of Damukunians (as per the 2015 census) report belonging to the National Catholic Church, and about 49% belong to the Otselician Evangelical Society; 6% have another religious background or belong to no religion. The literacy rate of Damukunians is 98% in either of two languages: English, spoken as a primary dialect by anyone of Otselician ethnic descent, and Damukunian Japanese, spoken by native Damukunians. However, in all but the most remote areas, English is a de facto language, and all street and official signage is in both languages when pictograms are not used. All government communications are in both languages.
