Guide to Sports Roleplaying, and General sport RP questions

World Cup 99 are looking for corporate sponsors, and we want the great companies of all of your nations, whether you're a regular NS Sport participant or have never heard of the NS World Cup, to have the opportunity to be a sponsor! It is an opportunity, if your nation is selected, to be branded as an official sponsor for World Cup 99, and see your storefront or brand get linked in a cutoff post. So a chance at free publicity among a bunch of nations you normally don't interact with.

The only limits industry or types of organizations that can seek sponsorship are that there will be no military related organizations that will be selected as sponsors. Otherwise, from for-profit companies to non-profits & charities, individuals, religions, other sporting competitions, etc... Everybody is welcome to bid to use the large platform that is World Cup 99.

We will have a two-tiered structure for the sponsorship process. That is, as follows.

Global World Cup Partner
We are offering the ability for various organizations to be declared official partners of World Cup 99. Now, we leave this up to your bid to include what kind of partner you would like to be- however, we will try to have a separate partner featured for each cutoff during the World Cup Finals. The World Cup will look for product partners in all kinds of areas- the official sports drink of World Cup 99, the official brandwear of World Cup 99, the official airline, the official alcoholic beverage, etc.. We are willing to have an official product partner in all kinds of areas. In terms of organizations that will not provide products, we are still looking for partners in that realm as well- all organizations will have the opportunity to bid to choose to be officially associated with World Cup 99.

You can include any kind of information you want in your bid, and if you so choose, how exactly you want your company to be featured. From our end, we will be able to offer any bidders exactly one opportunity to be featured in a cutoff for the World Cup Finals. Any organizations who earn this designation will be titled "An Official Global Partner of World Cup 99"

National World Cup Partner
We will also have an opportunity to have companies be local partners of the World Cup. While they will not get featured within a cutoff, this is an opportunity for organizations to become a national partner of the World Cup in their own nation.

Your application should not just be a single sentence that just says the company name and a link to the storefront, and what they want to sponsor. Your application should go in-depth about who your company is, some of your products, and what exactly you want to be a sponsor of. Actual partner selections will be based on merit.

OOC:
We highly encourage people to participate in this- truly, if you make your case for it, almost any kind of organization can be a World Cup partner/sponsor. This is a great RP opportunity for anybody looking to get involved! This application should be considered in character.

If you have questions, please ask them in the OOC discussion thread.

And, as always, please do not reserve your posts. You may go ahead and start posting now

[Valentine Z]

Hyperzicht – Photography and Videography Equipments. See Bigly, Literally - as it is the way of the Valentians.



Established in the 2000s as a small company, we provided limited number of cameras and equipment for the developing Valentine Z in order to document our nation’s progress. Back then, cameras were seen as a niche item and not a necessity as we were a bit busier towards building back our country from the ashes of the old. As a result, it’s seen more as “something to document” rather than “for the masses to enjoy”. At least, that is for that time being, of course. As the Valentians have developed – both technologically and socially – attitudes towards cameras have changed, and it was finally time for us again as a nation to enjoy the passions and wonders of photos and videos.

We believe in the fact that anyone can be a photographer, and that no one should be gatekept based on the equipment that they have, as well as to work with the limitations that they have had. However, technology has evolved and developed for us to a large extent that technological limitations need not be a hindrance to you. There is also such a thing about accessibility of these equipment, because typically, costing thousands of dollars and Valentian Credit should not be the way to go whether you are a hobbyist or a professional, with a lot of other things to boot such as insurance for damage, rental, the whole nine yards. Additionally, we have also showed a little bit of concern towards the other worlds (not your worlds, maybe) towards those whose entire vacation photos are stored with an abundance of filters, and having been shared all over the internet through various social network sites. The quality degrades as it’s passed along, and we once again feel that this should not be the case. The days of DSLR (and even mirrorless cameras) have been numbered for a lot of them, at least in terms of popularity. For Valentine Z, we’ve never strayed away from this, and we believe that Hyperzicht can make the best, affordable, and portable equipment for everyone to enjoy, with a combination of the highest standards of technology, as well as some bits of magic.

With World Cup 99 currently in the works, Hyperzicht is confident that in the case that we have success in getting the sponsorship, your footage will be preserved for years to come, and in utterly high clarity. Gone are the days of trying to zoom in to no avail as you see your favourite football player kicking that goal, or perhaps you are one of those that likes to see what constituted that one red card. We are not going to judge, of course, everyone has their way of saying “Yes, we want to keep those pictures and videos!” Ranging from small personal devices to broadcasting video cameras, we – the employees of Hyperzicht and more importantly as Valentians – will be able to help. If we get the sponsorship, we would like to provide 60 of our Broadcasting Cameras and 60 Slow-motion Cameras for usage at the stadiums, as well as a 20% discount for audience, teams, etc (prices before discounts).

Typically, we only offer one model of each form factor. There were previous versions – which we have allowed people to either keep or to send them to us for total-efficiency recycling (thanks to Phoenix Recycling) – but as it is the rule and our ethics, there is no such thing as planned obsolescence with us. Whatever you have bought from us, you keep it for life with lifetime warranty. We have serviced cameras that are our current flagships, to the ones that have been built and made in 2015, for instance. Technology and Magic may have marched on, but the service towards our customers will always be the same, old or new, hobbyist or professionals. Photography for everyone.

The slight drawback is that these are made with Valentians in mind. For those who are a little bit more normal-sized, please do not hesitate to contact us to get you something made especially for you. Bulk orders accepted.

OUTBOX RESTAURANTS, INC.
Official Application for World Cup 99 Sponsorship

Outbox was founded a few centuries ago during Drawkland's golden age of automobiles by a man named Richard Outbox. The advent of mass-produced and inexpensive motor vehicles gave unprecedented mobility and autonomy to millions of Drawkians and fundamentally changed the structure of local economies. One of the biggest effects from this revolution was the shift in restaurant service. While sit-in cafes and pubs remained strong choices for social outings, fast service and takeout restaurants quickly grew in size and reach.

Outbox wasn't the first of these kinds of restaurants, not even in its hometown of Akkor Beach. The first "fast food" restaurants began as walk-up service counters similar to concession stands, featuring outdoor seating and the new novelty: drive-up service. Outbox was the first in its area to sell combo meals, marketed as specifically-numbered "boxes." Passing savings to the consumer and making a convenient package for takeout and/or eating in a car made the business a hit, and the founder was able to expand to multiple locations in the Akkor area.

As fast food became more common nationwide and regional chains began to emerge, Outbox was easily the strongest among them. The quality ingredients, menu variety, and convenient service made it the premier place to stop for a quick bite, and it quickly became a national chain. Many years, it's perhaps the most recognizable restaurant brand in Drawkland and Sonnel at large. With Drawkland establishing more and more of a multiversal presence thanks to its sports participation, Outbox looks forward to turning the franchise interplanetary.

SERVICE

Outbox specializes in delivering the perfect quick eating experience. Hot, fresh food, provided with fast, friendly service. Customers don't just come to Outbox for the excellent meals, they come for the exceptional atmosphere and prompt serving times. Few national fast food chains have standards as high as Outbox for both food quality and staff performance. On top of this, Outbox has the third-highest average operating hours among national chains in Drawkland, so you'll rarely drive past an Outbox that's closed when you're hungry.

The menu itself is quite familiar to the average fast food customer - a standard variety of hamburgers, cheeseburgers, and other hot sandwiches. A variety of side items such as straight and curly fries (or chips as some call them), chicken fingers, onion rings, and others are found at every location. Outbox also has a reasonably robust breakfast and dessert menu available all day. Full service Outbox locations offer 10 standard "boxes": numbered combos that remain the same everywhere. The only boxes to change consistently are #9 (usually a limited-time menu item that changes every few months, like the Rib Box) and #10 (a regional menu item that depends on the location of that specific store). This consistency between locations is another reason Drawkian travelers can count on Outbox for a good experience no matter where they are.

Outbox restaurants come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The average location consists of a dining room with sit-in service in addition to a one- or two-lane drive thru (depending on the typical customer load of the area). Locations with no drive thrus are found in denser areas with limited car traffic, as well as "Express" counter locations in food courts or event venues with a limited menu. In modern Drawkland with aircar traffic, there are even two-story locations with "float-thru lanes" on the second floor.

OUTREACH

As aforementioned, Outbox is very proud of their brand and is constantly searching for ways to expand their presence within and without Drawkland. The continued presence and support of Drawkian national teams and athletes participating in multiversal competition has spurred Outbox to increase their financial commitment to the "sporting regions" and other nations instrumental to the sporting culture at large.

Though it wasn't the first such sponsorship deal, Outbox's partnership with the four-nation domestic soccer league of Drawkland, Ranoria, South Newlandia, and Dhemixia has been its most visible outreach yet. Naming rights for the league itself were secured, ensuring The Outbox League had the capital to survive beyond its inaugural season. The league itself (as well as its cup competition) and primary sponsorship are still held by Outbox, which has tripled its growth and profit in the three other nations in the league.

One of Outbox's earlier sponsorships came by way of NSSCRA, being the primary car sponsor for Team Tsunopin based in Sonnelian nation 69X for several seasons. The international presence of Outbox for both restaurant locations and community outreach has been growing for years, and they don't plan to stop anytime soon. The Outbox board of directors has even stated intent to enter the Global Economics & Trade exchange sometime "in the near future."

SPONSORSHIP DETAILS

Outbox Restaurants, Incorporated is applying to be a Global Sponsor Partner of World Cup 99.
Outbox hopes to be declared the "Official Fast Food" of World Cup 99, or even the "Official Restaurant" if no other eateries apply for sponsorship.

Outbox plans to throw the whole kitchen sink in with their sponsorship package for World Cup 99. Sideline ad boards, TV commercials, even bumper ad reads on broadcasts if applicable. The Outbox coffers are deep and the company is prepared to dig into it to ensure their name gets out to the wider multiverse in a big way. Outbox is also willing to provide food for participating teams following their matches - thousands of Drawkian athletes from youth to professional levels love to demolish a hot box meal after putting their best work on the field. Catering arrangements are flexible; Outbox can handle whatever dietary restrictions are required, and the ingredients are always top-notch.

If possible, Outbox is also willing to send some of their OEV (Outbox Express Van) fleet to stadiums in the host nations on gamedays. OEVs are essentially scaled down Outbox locations carrying a limited menu featuring their most popular menu items. These could operate as large food trucks outside the venues or even moved within the stadium(s) to serve as temporary concession stands. This is already a common practice across Drawkland, so deploying the OEV fleet to Arrosia should be a relatively easy matter, should the hosting team choose to accept this venture.

Regardless of the actual extent of sponsorship granted by the hosts, Outbox is excited and grateful to have the opportunity to be part of this historic World Cup cycle, and wishes luck to all the participating teams.

Velox Design School Sponsorship Bid for WC99

Who?
Velox Design School was founded in 1933 as an "extended department" from the Szbedansk Higher School of Arts. Independent artists are free to pursue their Pulchritudist arts without the prying eyes of the School Commissioner, resulting in a flourishing environment for many of Kanzlia's greatest artists. Velox has since then consolidated its position as a beacon for Pulchritudist arts in Esportiva, providing a proven platform for aspiring artists to make it into the big stage, exposing them to contract and all the money stuff!

Sponsorship Details
Velox Design School hopes to be the Official Promotional Poster Provider for World Cup 99.

We will provide our artistic expertise to provide promotional posters for the tournament, though specifically we'd like to create posters for the tournament as a whole, the tournament proper (ie, after the qualifiers), and the World Cup finals.

Yes, I would like to make 2 more posters for this event because it was much fun the first time. I've already made the poster for the tournament as a whole, and for the next two I'd like to make a poster specifically for the tournament post-qualification, and another for the eventual finals. Production time of these posters would vary, but wouldnt take more than 3 days. The hosts are free to place an image of the poster in their announcements and such. If this sponsorship does get accepted, all I'd ask (besides nefarious uses, that goes without saying) is to credit it as "Velox Design School, Kanzlia (@kestrelid)".

I will also keep this agreement regardless if Kanzlia is still in the tournament or not.

With much grace from the Gracious State of Kanzlia

KUSER TRADING CARDS
WC99 Sponsor Application

History of Kuser Trading Cards

Steldt Kuser founded Kuser Trading Cards in 2004 with his brother, Seu Kuser. The company was based in Kalse Bay, Neureckaver, and sold trading cards of Edsmon players from the FDVL. Despite the cards containing fake players due to not having a license with the FDVL, the Kuser Brothers managed to make a lot of money. Many believed that Kuser Trading Cards would be shut down, but with every FDVL season came new cards that people fought over.

Soon enough, the Kuser Brothers caught the attention of the Edsmon Fustbaal Association and got a license to put FDVL players' names and faces on their cards. Within a month, the company gained even more and purchased a large complex in Neuskenvigge, Neureckaver for designing and manufacturing cards. With more cards out, they were booming in popularity and sales.

Coming to present day, Kuser Trading Cards have sold millions to Edsmons and others in the multiverse. However, the Kuser Brothers aren't done yet. They plan to get licenses with other nations' leagues to put more players on trading cards for all to collect. They plan to spread their trading cards to every corner of the multiverse, one pack at a time.

Steldt and Seu Kuser

Steldt and Seu Kuser were born as twins in 1976 in Joelsazen, Neureckaver, and moved to Kalse Bay with their parents in 1989. From there, they attended Pvissen Middle and High School, where they both graduated in the top ten highest GPAs. The brothers went on to run the family's local business, Everything Corner Store. The boys had wanted more than to just run a store though, and created the first trading cards in Edsmontik. At first, these trading cards would only be distributed and sold to colleagues and friends, but soon enough, the Kuser brothers founded Kuser Trading Cards.

---

Sponsorship Details
Kuser Trading Cards hopes to be known as the official Trading Card producer of World Cup 99.

Kuser Trading Cards, upon being selected, will secure licensing agreements and design hundreds of new cards of players. They will include cards of every national team's players. Teams that make it past qualifying will have special cards made that are shinier*. Teams that make it to the quartfinals will receive special cards that have a shiny Arrosia color palette gradient. Lastly, the team that wins it all will having trading cards with the gold and Arrosia-colors. The trading cards will be sold both online, in store, and if allowed, in vans that will be parked outside of World Cup stadiums.

Whether or not Kuser Trading cards is accepted as a sponsor, Kuser TC is glad to have the chance to sponsor the 99th World Cup.

Brewed with Simcoe, Amarillo and Centennial hops with floral and pine flavours.

Enigmatic, explosive and yet eccentric, Corinne Martel-Burns was a symbol of her times. A complete forward whose signs as an early prodigy actually translated to a brilliant career in Schottia, Quebec and Shingoryeo, and Eura, the Quebeco-Schottian was a dynamic superstar capable of scoring big, in big moments, and anywhere. - Québec and Shingoryeo

Kohev Küngas-Vaga – Kveik Session IPA – 5% ABV
Brewed with Citra and Simcoe hops with notes of citrus and passion fruit.

Syku Lyku – DDH Double IPA – 8,2% ABV
A double dry hopped (DDH) double IPA brewed with Amarillo, Citra and Mosaic hops with floral and citrus aroma.


Stouts and Dark Ales

Abel Wesoloski-Okafor – Maple Scotch Ale – 9% ABV
This Scotch Ale brewed with Québécois maple syrup offers woody and malty flavors, supported by a caramelized touch.

Juan Tzimisces – Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout – 12,5% ABV
The Juan Tzimisces was aged for 12 months in bourbon barrels, resulting in slightly oaky, complex whiskey notes with dark chocolate and coconut flavors.

Five-time winner as coach, and with a history that dates back all the way to World Cup 1 - when he played as a central midfielder.

He scored the winning goal in one of the Holy Empire's World Cup final victories after inserting himself into the starting squad. He also captained the Holy Empire in World Cups 1-4. -The Holy Empire

Simeone Di Bradini – Bourbon Barrel Aged Scotch Ale – 10,6% ABV
Aged for 12 months in bourbon barrels with notes of vanilla, oak and bourbon combined with the beer’s profile of caramel.

Simeone Di Bradini is one of the most famous players in the history of Starblaydi football, making his debut in World Cup 17 and retiring after World Cup 20. He most famously played for Iskara Daii in Starblaydia, and Alan City in The Belmore Family. He scored 44 goals in 84 appearances and later went on to manage both at club level in Vilita and with the Starblaydi national team, winning a few minor trophies. After moving to the Dreamed Realm, he became a player-coach with The Holy Empire and, alongside his old friend Juan Tzimices, won the 48th edition of the World Cup. -Starblaydia

Other Ales

Alan Belmore – American Barley Wine – 10,1% ABV
American style Barley Wine aged for 36 months in bourbon barrels.

Jessica Schanke – Kölsch – 5,4% ABV
The Kölsch is a typical German pale ale with a perfect balance of malt, hops, and yeast.

John Ryan – Brown Ale – 6% ABV
A typical American brown ale with slight notes of chocolate.

Diminutive in stature, but not in tenacity or defensive nous, John Ryan was an ever-present in Audioslavia’s defence between cycles 62 and 66, starting out as a terrier-like full-back at 1830 Cathair before becoming a defensive lynchpin for Mytanija’s SK Port Jarko. He still holds the national team record for appearances by an outfielder, with 159. He’s most notable for his man-of-the-match performance in the final of World Cup 63, where he was instrumental in keeping Starblaydia at bay. A feat captured in this famous image . Ryan would go on to manage the Bulls too, reaching the second round in World Cup 68. -Audioslavia

Pamela Scott – Gose – 4,2% ABV
A sour and salted beer with a noticeable strawberry aroma.

Two times World Cup winning manager with Banija.
Was Baker Park's second NS era boss after succeeding Trevor Richmond after WC 82. Managed BP in Baptism of Fire 67 (the first ever senior mixed gender squad). Won two national championships with Northern Baker Park State University and two Women's National League titles with Westwood Sprites Ladies before being named BP Women's National Team boss.
Took over Farfadillis after their WC84 winning campaign and succeeded Marcus Waters with the Banijan NT.
NSWC Hall of Fame inductee.
(I believe that she might be only the third or fourth manager to win back to back WC titles, but that is IC info that I'm not certain about). -Baker Park

Lagers

Laborious Hawk – Imperial Vanilla Coffee Porter – 10,3% ABV
The Laborious Hawk has a strong aroma of roast malts, coffee and vanilla with slight notes of chocolate.

Mike Flanningan – Pilsner – 4,9 % ABV
A Bohemian Pilsner brewed with 100% Saaz hops.

Sosimo Lisson – India Pale Lager – 6,7% ABV
The IPL (India Pale Lager) is an hybrid brewed at lagers temperatures and made with hops associated with IPAs. The Sosimo Lisson is brewed with Citra, Amarillo and El Dorado hops.

Quanta Energy Drinks, Inc.
Ignite the Core

OVERVIEW
Quanta was founded by Julian Kessler, a former biochemistry prodigy and a semi-professional downhill cyclist from the industrial city of Struppen. Kessler was frustrated with the lack of quality energy drinks, having extensively explored the market through his cycling ventures. Most products on the market were imported and expensive due to import duties, and those produced domestically were of little to no standard. Using his knowledge of neurochemistry and natural compounds, he started working on his formula. His efforts came to fruition when he founded Quanta in 1983 and launched its first product.

Quanta's superior product at a reasonable price point tapped into a previously unexplored region of the domestic beverage market. This propelled sales of Quanta as revenue increased multiple-fold every year, with Kessler's ambitions getting larger. Kessler wanted to take Quanta region-wide, and for this, he needed to scale both production and distribution. Vielfaltig's limiting industrial laws meant that such a capital investment was not feasible without direct or indirect involvement of the state. Kessler recognising the pivotal role the State plays in most Vielfaltigian industries sold a 60% majority stake in Quanta to the Government while retaining his position as CEO and Chief of R&D. Partial state ownership has meant that Quanta has been able to expand rapidly while maintaining its focus on producing the best product possible from ethical sources.

PRODUCTS
Quanta offers a dynamic lineup of products focused on the idea of a balanced product for the consumer. The flagship product, which launched the company into the fray, is the Quanta Core+. It is a formulated energy drink that blends natural caffeine with cognitive enhancers like L-theanine. It's available in numerous flavours such as Lunar Citrus and Voltaic Pineapple. Unlike other energy drinks, which can result in a jittery feeling, the Core+ provides a purely refreshing feeling. Our commitment to zero added sugars and fully transparent ingredients has made Core+ a go-to for students, professionals and athletes.

We have also diversified into targeted niches while staying true to our founding values. Quanta Spark is a lightly carbonated electrolyte-infused drink for hydration on the go. Quanta Flow is for gamers and students looking to pull an all-nighter with its nootropic-powered shots. Quanta Bio+ blends adaptogens and low-dose caffeine for a more calming feeling. Most products are available in numerous flavours, and regardless of your energy needs, we can fulfil them.

OUTREACH
Being an energy drinks company, Quanta has naturally focused its outreach efforts on the world of sports. Its domestic dominance is exemplified by the fact that it is the official energy drink brand of almost all domestic leagues, such as the First and Second Divisions, and the ChessVFT Bundesliga, among others. They are also the official sponsors of the Quanta VT20 Slam, which is the premier domestic T20 league of Vielfaltig. The branding of Quanta is ever-present in Vielfaltigian sports, including on our stadiums such as the Quanta Stadium located in the heart of the Montebello Sporting District. It is the largest cricket stadium in Vielfaltig and was the venue which hosted the final of the 5th World Trophy.

Quanta is a company that likes to experiment and often go beyond the confines of the typical. Thus, they have also been partners to numerous events which do not fit neatly within the general sporting atmosphere. Kessler, a downhill cycling enthusiast, has used his experience in the sport and brought Quanta into the fray, including organising the yearly Quanta Julian Kessler DH Biking Championship. They have also supported numerous aspiring motorsport drivers and cyclists in their bids to take their talents to the multiverse.

SPONSORSHIP DETAILS

Quanta Energy Drinks, Incorporated, is applying to be a Global Sponsor Partner of the World Cup 99.
Quanta hopes to be declared the "Official Energy Drink" of World Cup 99.

Quanta is excited about the opportunity presented to them to be a part of this historic edition of the Football World Cup. As a majority state-owned company, the depths of the coffers available for this sponsorship bid know no end. The company intends to utilise this opportunity as a way of getting their name out in the multiverse for the planned further expansion multiversally. Beyond conventional marketing strategies, Quanta's involvement will be woven into the World Cup through the "Refuel and Recover" Initiative. This initiative will provide all participating teams with curated recovery packages following each game, along with in-game refreshments.

We also intend to establish "Core Zones", which will be designated spaces located in fan zones and near stadium entrances. These Core Zones will serve product samples, interactive challenges for fans, and limited-edition World Cup flavours exclusive to the tournament. These zones will also serve as on-ground stores to purchase all Quanta products, as they will be equipped with every flavour and variety of every product, including special editions. Regardless of the extent of sponsorship, Quanta is very excited at the prospect of being involved in a global competition of this stature and sends its regards to the hosts.

FROM THE DESK OF XINA IESAN
Twelve Terranea Plaza, Cenial, Ceni 1045

Dear Presidents Dudin, Ezera, and Kramer:

My name is Xina Iesan, and I am the Chief Executive Officer of Air Terranea. Please allow me to submit the enclosed application for Global World Cup Partner and Official World Cup 99 Airline.

Air Terranea was founded more than 40 years ago* with the merger of Air Electrum and Ceniana after the Games of the X Olympiad co-hosted by Centralis, Electrum and Nassau Bay, New Gelderland, at which Ceniana served as the official carrier of those Games. Since then, Air Terranea has expanded in both the SAREIMA regions and elsewhere, including Ceniana's former subsidiary Global Wings Air, which operates primarily in the Astyria region. Air Terranea operates a fleet of 750 modern aircraft, with the vast majority comprising of the most advanced planes from Celestar Aerospace based in Kelssek and an additional 30 planes from SAREIMA nation Gloriax. We are proud that the Global Economics & Trade Accreditation Agency has ranked our business as a five-star storefront.

While other airlines competing for this lofty prize may tout their connectivity within the SAREIMA regions or offer hefty discounts in a race to the bottom, Air Terranea believes that its network stands for itself. With over 500 international destinations at the time of writing (with around 2/3 of them outside the SAREIMA regions), Air Terranea is the only airline that can truly connect the SAREIMA regions to the outside world. Its main hub at Centralis, Electrum, offers a convenient connecting point for SAREIMA residents to visit major business regions such as Astyria, while a further hub in Kelssek offers connectivity to the immense regions around the Pacifics. Conversely, this large network outside SAREIMA allows World Cup 99 to reach nations that do not traditionally participate in sporting events, truly expanding its reach throughout the multiverse. Air Terranea truly is the only carrier that blends an extensive network within the SAREIMA regions with an emphasis on also serving the countless nations outside the SAREIMA area.

You can explore our website at www.airterranea.com.cen.

Please accept our most profuse thanks for considering our application, and please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions about our application.

With the most sincere regards,
Xina Iesan

And to bankroll it all, they've also launched the immensely popular World Cup Qualification Fantasy game, where you pick the teams you think will surprise us. These guys have unofficially supported the World Cup for ages, and they want to be part of it in a more visible way.

[Gnejs]

From the musky and murky forests of western Gnejs hails the multiverse’s finest goat cheese, courtesy of The Molineux Goat Cheese Company. For generations, the Molineux family (self-styled The House of Molineux) have been the premier purveyors of goat cheese and goat cheese related products in the Prosaic Union and beyond. Now, they aim to bring their renowned delicacies to the 99th World Cup in a bid to become one of the officially appointed sponsors of the games across Arrosia.

The Company’s produce is bursting with fatty acids - your enzymes, your probiotics, your antioxidants and proteins, even lipids! - and come with an especially pungent variety of that distinct tarty flavor only a goat’s milk can achieve. The product list is vast, but none is more reputable and sought after as the traditional Brown Goat Cheese, which is brown and made from goat milk and whey.

The Molineux Goat Cheese Company, if granted the honor of being chosen as an official sponsor of the 99th World Cup, will arrange for the availability of endless quantities of goat cheese and goat cheese related products all throughout official tournament venues in our quest to make Molinuex Goat Cheese the preferred «Snack of 99». The Company will also provide all teams an ample supply of one of our newest products, the goat cheese infused energy drink - The GOATozade - during the tournament.

Lastly, if chosen as an official sponsor, every player voted «Player of the Match» during our allotted matchday will be awarded a goat.

Sincerely,

Gertrude Molineux, Company Head
Fandango Molineux III, Director of Innovations and resident poet.

BANK OF CRPOSTRAN (BoC)
Bid for Official Global Bank Sponsor

Brief History

Founded in 1902 as Crpostran’s national central bank, the Bank of Crpostran (BoC) was established to centralise the country's finance sector under govt. control, regulate currency & foreign reserves. For much of the 20th century (up till 1972), it continued playing it's "dual role", looking after national monetary policy and being the sole "major" bank providing bankings services to the people & companies. The government, after a civil war, decided to open up the commercial banking sector (Financial & Banking Liberalisation Act, 1972), to encourage the role of the private sector, and removed the overseeing authority of the BoC over monetary policy & foreign reserves (which went over to the newly established Federal Bank of Crpostran). The BoC was thus transformed into a state-owned commercial bank.

Over the decades, BoC has grown into the largest financial institution in Crpostran, serving over 500 million customers across the nation and the wider Karma region. Today, with over 120 years of uninterrupted service, It is by far, the most reliable bank in the country.

The camera pulls back to show the stadium, then zooms out to the globe… all surrounded by the pulse of a digital network, screen transitions into a "powered by BoC."

3. Economic Uplift & Investment in Local Communities

BoC will go beyond branding to become a part of that particular experience. To that end, we will launch the "Art of the Game” fan commissioned series, where 99 murals from around the world, submitted by fans will be showcased at makeshift art centres, stadiums, fan hubs, etc. BoC will pay commissions, showcase artists online, and spotlight the talent of the youth.

• Full-spectrum financial and technological infrastructure,
• Unrivalled fan-first creativity,

CASINOS DELLA ARABI
Bid to be the Official Casino & Gambling Company of World Cup 99 in Arrosia

Some history about our great casinos.
----------------------------------------------
Established in 1999, Casinos Della Arabi have been serving our gamblers in our great state of Aswadd for over 25 years, and have been the most efficient and best industry in the nation since it was established. In 1997, a man by the name of Quo-na Jaraqoi wanted to gamble in a casino (forgotten in history what the gambling center was), but he got kicked out for having food and drinks in the casino. He wanted to establish a casino that actually was welcoming, and that would become Aswadd's best casinos. After 2 years of making his company legal, he made Casino Della Arabi. In the year 2003, they opened their 5th Casino ever, which would become the best casino ever in Aswadd. Ever since, Casino Della Arabi has been passed down to his son, Mohammed Jaraquis, which has made the company even better. In Aswadd, as of June 1st, 2025, there are over 150 casinos around the country, and 20 million people have been served at the casinos. To say the least, Casinos Della Arabi are the best Casinos and Gambling Places in the country.

Overview of the company
------------------------
Customers: Estimated 23,000,000 every year
# of Assets: 1.4 Billion Suknatles, or 900M NSD
# of Casinos: 158 Casinos (4 in construction)

What are we trying to do when sponsoring WC99?
------------------------------
We are trying to expand our nation's casinos overseas, to different universes, even. We want to also bring more people to our country as well, so they can see how much better the Casinos are in Aswadd than in the other universes

What do our casinos have?
-----------------------
Our casinos have most, if not all things that every casino has, some even include large resturants and shopping malls inside of them.

What will we do if we are selected?
-------------------------------
Casinos Della Arabi will create "FanCasinos" in every country participating in the WC99, where people can watch the games, while gambling. We will also bring our drinks and food that we sell in the casinos, and maybe even put Aswaddi malls in some casinos, like as they are in Aswadd. We are also open to sponsoring any awards or trophies, of course, if we get selected and if there is something of the sort.

We hope that you select us to be the Official Casino and Gambling Partner of the World Cup 99.

Libero Security (Limited)
Prospective Security Partner of World Cup 99
.
.

---

WHO are Libero?
WHAT does Libero give back?
Libero, as you can probably tell by now, are a security company, by which we mean much, much more than a security company. We here at Libero are not a bunch of draconian hooligans that will smosh some random unsuspecting fan on the noggin at the first sight... in fact, we might just politely ask you to stop whining at the first sight of your doing something we don't like, and please don't look at that baton or spraycan or standard-issue pistol semi-automatic SMG (as of August 2023) on our belts or we'll have to politely ask you to stop ogling us. Unless you're a pitch invader, in which case we'll have to shoot you - or, heavens forbid, thwonk you with a massive bat used for the sport of Hitball - because everybody would be invading pitches if we didn't. Hooray for Kantian ethics!
Libero was formed in 1992 by a merger of SecureGuard, Lockdown and National security companies, all of which provided a service much inferior to the unity that we distribute today... although we like to think of it as more of an ingenious idea by our Commanding Executive Officer, Andrew Cullis. Since then, Libero has provided thousands of hard-working people not just the ability to earn several wads of cash, but also to travel Tinhampton on countless occasions to do so - just ask Dave, who is now a millionaire as a result of faithfully serving both Libero and his hometown for the past 20 years (and a lawsuit we won after the Tinhampton City team bus was overturned in the 2002-03 inter-religious riots, but we don't talk about that here). It's about time that we here at Libero should go global, yet again.

WHERE can Libero operate?
WHEN will Libero provide security?
Where "can" we operate? That's a misleading question, what you should really be asking is where "WILL" we operate - as part of our mission to provide a thug-dehanced* environment for every single man, woman, child, and gender non-conforming individual that touches down in the three host nations to enjoy the 99th edition of the greatest sporting competition in the multiverse. Our apologies if your idea of enjoying a major sports tournament is pulping the shit out of other participants, but we'll have to politely ask you to stop before we try* and do something about your presence in the stadium a few seconds later.
Thanks to Libero, your dream of a safe* World Cup 24 hours a day, 7 days a week... erm, for about eight weeks and then we pack up like the fans do and return back home could soon become a reality. Libero plans to operate not only in the many dozens of World Cup host arenas, but will also provide security for "add-on" events such as the World Cup Concert - and in case you're A. wondering how we can get a few thousand Tinhamptonians* to defend a large-ish, nonzero number of locations and B. unable to get a ticket to this wonderful sporting showcase, then you, too, can apply to become a Libero Security Officer for this World Cup! (Of course, we're assuming you're able to get a visa here, although we only accept payment via cash or cheque.) Watch out for the sewn-on "LIBERO Security Ltd." badge, as demonstrated above - anybody wearing this is either a genuine Security Officer or a cheeky bastard.

WHY should Libero be the World Cup's Security Partner?
HOW high can I set my expectations?
Imagine a World Cup without a strong, solid, and sports-experienced security partner such as Libero. Imagine the flames, imagine the fury, imagine the riots*, imagine the incessant, outrageous, frothing supporters hitting out at one another. Some people in Tinhampton are opposed to Libero becoming the official security partner of the World Cup - maybe they'd like to host a big tournament (or offload it to those poor television-addicted conformist saps over in Saint Eleanor) one day to find out what one without it would entail! Scores of Banijans can also already testify to the security that Libero's Security Officers provided during the 81st and 83rd World Cups, the other two World Cups to be partially delivered within its territory.
Not only will Libero aspire to provide a swift and controversy-free* World Cup tournament, but it also aims to bring one of employment like every operation on this scale should be. By intending to introduce full-time Libero Security* in the three host nations**, you too can be assured that Banija, Squornshelous, and Siovanija & Teusland (which you'll note is actually one host nation, not two) maintain an infamously Tinhampton-like high level of security, now and in the future. Put simply, Libero should be your first, second, third, thirty-second, fourty-eighth, eighty-first, eighty-third, ninety-ninth, one-thousand-and-ninety-third, and last choice (not inclusive) if you want to keep your stadiums, your cities and your potential flashpoints secure... at the cost of about one hundred and fifty thousand NationStates Dollars, because we're spending the rest on our Security Officers' wages. Hooray for Keynesian multipliers!

REAL quotes from REAL satisfied Libero Security Officers
"Libero has given my life meaning, purpose, and potential" - Andy
"I really value the team I go to work with every day; that's the Libero difference" - Parevalena
"No two days are the same when you're working with a top-notch security team" - Libby
"Convenient shift patterns and a real work-life balance are two of the best things about Libero" - Dwayne
"Stopping bank heists and disabling petty thieves is all in a day's work for me" - Michael
"Libero's mental aftercare team are second to none" - Jasmine
"Alicia Vikander looks really hot, it's a shame she's never been a Bond Girl" - Richard

If you have any concerns or queries, please drop a letter in the general directions of:
- Libero Security, 1 Seaside Avenue, Tinhampton, TI2 4AG if you'd like to deal with a bunch of layabouts who don't play in the World Cup because Yassaca manager Julia Atherton screwed over their chequebook, or
- Dennis Henley, 52 Morgan Road, Central, Saint Eleanor if you'd like to talk to our nice, lovely, World Cup-qualified representative who once bought a box of chocolates for Bridget Coombe. How nice of him.

*safety, speed, Tinhamptonian citizenship, reduction of hooligan activity, lack of controversy, riot prevention, and permanence of security forces not necessarily guaranteed
**assuming that Libero Security has never been permanently rolled out in Banija, as was planned after World Cup LXXXI... wow, that was a long time ago
