For the interest of taking a latger overview of the Port Emberian people, I have researched and categorised them into specific stereotypes - which is not true to each individual offcourse, yet gives us a broad look at the majority.
Racial Stereotypes
Race:
The stereotypical Port Emberian native is caucasian. They have descended from european pioneers, mostly British, Irish, French, Gerrman, Spanish, Portugese, Dutch and Japanese. The continious breeding between these races is what eventually formed the new native Port Emberian race.
Typical Names:
Any generic British, Irish, French, Gerrman, Spanish, Portugese, Dutch and to a lesser degree - Japanese name is common names. The most common however is english and irish names.
Physical Appearance:
Physical Build:
The stereotypical Port Emberian man is rather large sturdy of build. They average at 1.8 meters in length and 100kg in weight. Normally they are quite muscular, due to strong genes in their forefathers.
The females, ironically is much smaller. They average at 1.5 meters in length and 50kg in weight. They are normally slim and perky. Port Emberian women is well known for their beauty.
Port Emberians commonly have eye colour ranging from brown and green - and most commonly blue.
Port Emberians have commonly brown, blonde, red and black hair, with no dominant colour.
Port Emberian men enjoys sporting impressive yet neat full beards. Moustaches only is rare. The females generally dispises all body hair and is always clean shaven from beneath the eyebrows.
Clothing:
The men generally wear quite informal wear - Neat shorts or long jeans, with loose fitting tropical themed shirts (think Hawai dress). The businessmen enjoys sporting tailored suits.
The females enjoys wearing informal yet sensual clothing, including floral dresses and skirts with loose fitting tops.
There is no specific traditional dress or style, so each individual is free to dress however they wish.
Craziest of all - Port Ember has no public decency laws, therefore its common for Port Emberians to walk in public nude! This does not cause the normal chaos it normally would.
Important of note is that a Port Emberian's clothes normally reflects cool summer wear due to Port Ember being a tropical island - always hot and humid with no winters.
Ancestory
Port Emberiams comes from a very long line of pirates. The islands were a pirate kingdom for many years. Therefore the average Port Emberian is very stuborn and ill tempered.
Cultural Stereotypes
Typical social class
Although a massive nation as Port Ember encompasses a large variety of class cultures, the following is the most prominent:
Docks Class
This social class is found mostly in the Waterstad Borough of Port Ember Megalopolis, living near the gigantic port. They are generally blue collar workers or sailors, known for their hard working ethics. They can be seen as a bit wild - they work hard and play even harder. Known for continious drinking, crazy tavern dancing, bar fights etc. A very passionate folk. (Think down the lines of first generation irish when they arrived in New York.)
Sailor Class
This class is almost exactly the same as the docks folk, just a bit wilder! These folks makes their entire living on the ocean,and is obsessed with it. They can even be heard speaking old pirate slang during normal conversation at times!
Country Class
This folk consists mostly of the citizens of south island, who lives and works on farms. They are attuned to nature and the wild, and are known to be more spiritual than the rest of the nation. They are also very serious about maintaining strong family ties.
Trader Class
This class is found all over the islands, and is generally the middle class, white collar or small business owners of the islands. These folks is still passionate and wild, yet not as much as the docks folk. They are generally very successfull with suburban homes and small families. Most are specialised in their respective work fields. They are also frequent world travelers generally.
Purple Bloods
This class consists mainly out of the academics/scientists of the islands. They are extremely smart and very driven to master their respective fields. They are very different from other Port Emberians, as they are very quite and calm generally.
Blue Bloods
This class is seen as the royalty of the islands (not true nobles though, as no such thing exists in PE!). They are the extremely wealthy persons, and probaly moguls in their fields. They enjoy rock star celebrity fame from the local media amd populace.
Intelligence:
The average Port Emberian is smart (according to NS Stats, PE is in the Top 4% of smartest citizens). This is due to an excellent education system. Even the "less than smart" Port Emberians has a functioning knowledge of how the world works in theory.
Technology:
The average Port Emberian is extremely Technologicaly aware (according to NS Stats, PE is in the Top 2% of most technologicaly advanced citizens). This is due to an excellent education system. Even the "less than smart" and old Port Emberians has a functioning knowledge of technology, programming etc.
Cultured:
Port Ember is an extremely wealthy nation, with even its poor citizens living easily and more comfortable than most other nation's middle class. This has lead the popuace to be culturally aware, and "strive for the nicer things in life" (thats also an cultural qoute). Thus the average Port Emberian is known to collect various art pieces.
Wealth...is GOOD!!
For the average Port Emberian, making tons of money is the most important thing in life. Therefore very rich business people are revered in Port Ember as if they were rock stars for other nations.
Trade and more trade!
The average Port Emberian sees the basic trade of goods as the reason for life, and thus has immense respect for any businessman/women.
Alcohol
The averge Port Emberian enjoys alcohol frequently. The most popular drinks is beer and rum. Port Ember as a nation is famous for their quality brewed beer and rum.

Port Emberians are known for their love of sea food and meat. They also have a large love for fresh tropical fruit.
Social Values Stereotypes
Family is blood
Port Emberians in general takes family ties very seriously. They generally have small families and a small circle of close friends. Those friends are also seen as kin.
Mistrusting of strangers
The average Port Emberian is quite rude to strangers. They have an inherint distrust in people whom they don't know - and are not afraid to display their feelings.
Outspoken and confrontational

Guns for all
As Port Ember allows all citizens to own any imaginable weapon (even including tanks!), (except WMD's offcourse), the average citizen owns a firearm or two and holds this right dear.
What crime?
Port Ember is a nation with almost no restrictive laws, and a easy nation to live in (more jobs than people, good salaries, cheap cost of living, abundance of food and housing, good and cheap healthcare), the average Port Emberian feels no need to turn to crime of any sort.
Smuggling is awesome
Ironically, smuggling is not seen as crime. As Port Ember has no inport/export laws, any type of goods may be inported/exported from the nation. However, selling goods to a nation where its illigal - is seen as a win for the free market and Port Emberian brilliance.

Capitalism
The average Port Emberiam is a stuanch supporter of free market democracy.
Damm Commies!
The average Port Emberian sees communism/socialism as pure evil and despises the system with their entire being.

- Sailor
- Fisherman
- Boat Builder
- Engineer (all types)
- Trader
- Factory Worker
As a foreigner Stereotypes
As a foreigner, Port Emberians generally struggle to adapt in their new homes, mainly due to:
- Weather. A Port Emberian struggles to adapt to extreme draught and cold.
- Laws. Basically any restrictive law pisses them off.

...Mikhail continues to tick Parsons off every chance he can get, although at times it's not possible to tell if Parsons wants to be ticked off or not. I keep hearing things from Keira and Alina that the investigation on the attack on the Banijan delegate will conclude soon. I'm not being privy into too much of it, but I think that that will be big.
The preliminary polls indicate that we're going to win this election big, but I'm wary of Mikhail. He's too clever, the Checkers Party is too clever, for this to be all that is.
I think we'll be fine...

6.1 Now
This is the Scorigami chart as of World Cup 83. No numbers, just the teams who’ve put their names up in lights.
There are four distinct regions.
On the left, the early adopters. These records were broken within the first nine tournaments. There are scorelines you see every week. On the very far left, we’re not even sure whether these were the first such results or not, due to most of the games going unrecorded.
In the middle, in blue, the Scorigamis that were forced on a smaller team by a larger one. Forced Scorigami. Future 5-time-champs Vilita putting nine past Maldunia. Valanora thrashing Keyne Island, Delaclava in their pomp running roughshod over Mossulia. The team on the bottom is one you’ve never heard of. On top, a household name.
In light blue is what I like to call Collaborative Scorigami. Two teams who are not only evenly matched, but having the sort of day where neither cares about defence. The Holy Empire and Bettia are here with their 7-5 barnstormer between two multiple-time World Champions, but so too are the largely forgotten duo of Andrewboy and Tretskivucia, as well as Bear Islands and Kagdazka, two brief puppets nations of more famous masters.
On the right, in green, the games with more than twelve goals. The rarest occurance. These green islands cut adrift in white water. The only region where its possible to even get a Scorigami these days.
We’ve been close, in recent years to adding to the chart.
[Kalumba 10-3 Schottia from World Cup 69, The Holy Empire 12-0 The Nordic Lands of Skyrim]
An extra goal for Schottia against Kalumba would have seen the future-champions secure a Scorigami - apt compensation for conceding ten goals. In World Cup 61, four-time winners and two-time Scorigamiers The Holy Empire, too, were a goal away from cementing themselves as the greatest ever Scorigami team, but couldn’t get the job done against the Nordic Lands of Skyrim.
Jeru FC went close twice in cycle 58. Their 11-0 win over Albertasby wasn’t a Scorigami. Neither was their 11-0 win over Eura a few matchdays later. That’s right. Eura lost 11-0 to Jeru FC. Remind a Euran of that next time you see one.
We know we need more than twelve goals in a game to get into Scorigami territory these days. It’s our rotten luck that this has happened twice over the last four tournaments, but both times the results matched ones we’d previously gotten.
[Schottia 12-2 Lynchberg in World Cup 80]
Eleven cycles on from their close call against Kalumba, Schottia were a goal away from Scorigami Immortality in World Cup 80, failing to notch the extra goal at home to Lynchberg.
[WC81 Polkopia 11-3 Axuva]
A cycle later, Polkopia and Axuva were close. One more goal for either side and they’d both have put themselves in the record books. You feel for Axuva. Conceding eleven goals is terrible, but to be so close to a Scorigami and miss out must have been a bitter pill to swallow.
It’s natural that we’ve seen fewer Scorigamis in recent years. Putting this series together, I’d assumed that changes to the way the game is played in the modern day - how the game is Scorinated if you will - had lead international football down a more conservative path, but I’m not sure the stats back up that assertion.
Although since World Cup 70, there have been only two occasions in which a match has produced more than twelve goals, every one of the last thirteen World Cups has produced at least one game where eleven or more goals were scored. There’ve been 41 in total since World Cup 70, at an average of a little under three per cycle. There don’t seem to be any special circumstances wherein high-scoring games are found, The two cycles where we got fourteen goal games were both scorinated with different scorinators. Looking at the stats, it appears we’ve just been… unlucky.
We’re due. I can feel it. A Scorigami is on the way.
If it happens in World Cup 84, or at any time in the future, we’ll be back with another chapter. Until then, that’s it for Episode One of The Idiot Project.
Close Calls: One or two goals either way and the following would have been Scorigamis.
WC83
Abanhfleft 4-7 Starblaydia
Nephara 9-3 Ethane
Amurbia 3-8 The Macabees
Joshenia 5-6 Spensar
82
Xanneria 6-5 Grod Island
Kandorith 6-5 Ancherion
Qasden 7-4 Dritten Asopie
Free Republics 7-4 Geektopia
WC81
Eshan 9-2 Ancharmunn
Polkopia 11-3 Axuva
WC80
Valladares 6-6 Barunia
Scottia 12-2 Lynchberg
West Angola 3-8 Vilita
Chapter 6.2 - About The Idiot Project.
The Idiot Project is a project by an idiot. It started as a database and became a YouTube series. Of course.
Putting the database together was done over a few evenings in March and then a few more in September. Doing the later World Cups wasn’t particularly labour intensive once I’d got to grips with the program that does find and replace based on a formula, but the earlier ones were occasionally tricky.
While I was taking the results from an early World Cup, one where the hosts were choosing a new method of arranging the scores every matchday, which was making things very labour-intensive for me, I asked myself, ‘what am I doing this *for*’. Then I watched a Jon Bois video and had an idea that I could not get out of my head.
Each episode takes a week or so to make. An evening or two is spent writing and researching, taking screenshots all the while. After the second draft of the script I’m ready to get all the pictures I think I’ll need. It takes a few hours to set them all up in Google Earth and then a few more hours, probably on a different night, to use Google Earth Studios to film them. Google Earth Studios is powerful, but rendering the videos is slow, often doesn’t include the overlays I’ve set up, and converts everything to thousands of individual jpegs rather than an actual video, so I use a screen recorder and record the preview. The picture quality is fit for purpose, but animation is jerky, so I make the video four times longer and slower than it needs to be and speed up the footage in post-processing. It doesn’t work all the time, as you may have seen with Chapter 3. Recording the vocals is tricky with only a built-in laptop microphone, as I have to get close to the mic to speak, I owe a great deal to Mriin for helping out. Mriin was the only person who knew about The Idiot Project while it was being made. His feedback and general moral support was invaluable.
Thanks also to Polar Islandstates for his episode, and to Maklohi Vai, who has by the far the best vocal performance in the series.

"Hell yeah we are proud of our lads. Lets be realistic here, our team does not hold the most talented or most experienced players. We got where we are because of the hard work they have put in, day after day, month after month."
"What do I have to say regarding the fact that the pundits believed we will finish only in the 5th position? Well all I have to say is that its a great feeling to prove them wrong!"
"Aye, I have heard that the national team of Valanora and their media was quite angry at us. It was something about we overcelebrating and the media using their denononym wrong. All I can say to this is that we meant no disrespect with us overcelebrating. The fact is that we are a very young team and this is only our second international season ever, so being able to play against and then defeat a team whom is absolute living legends - is a true feat for them. Add the fact that our team is comprised of kids of 20/21 years of age to that scenario, and you will get some overexpressive behaviour. So truly I applogise if they took offense. As for our media - I have no control over what theu write and if they dont do their work relating to research on how to properly address a citizenry."
I will admit that I was quite surprised at the comments of Dominic Probst of Hapilopper. There is no need to insult the Cup of Harmony, as its a honourable and renowned tournament. Our team competed within it during the last cycle, and it was a brilliant learning curve, which truly helped our team to build ourselves to where we are today. I will be honest - although we have never played against the great team of Hapilopper, both our team and our fans as a whole holds a lot of respect for the team. They entered the international scene during the same time as ourselves, when they won the Baptism of Fire tournament. (We fell out in the Quarterfinals). But our fans loves them, because they - like us - do not have the same talent or experience when compared to other footballing giants, but keep shocking the world, all due to hard work and passion. Also both our fanbases are equally crazy and passionate. So I truly hope they can sort out their squabbles, as I do not want them to squander their good reputation."
