2023 Women's World Cup
The Iearth Women's World Cup, often simply called the World Cup, is an international association football competition contested by the senior women's national teams. The current women's champion is Unified Sera, who won the 2022 Women's World Cup against Paraboca in Lutharia. Within the four confederations recognized by the World Cup Organization, there are women's leagues and teams. There are less women's teams than there are men's due to some culture's restrictions on women's ability to participate in professional sports.
The current format involves a qualification phase, which takes place over the preceding three months, to determine which teams qualify for the tournament phase. In the tournament phase, 32 teams, including the automatically qualifying host nation(s), compete for the title at venues within the host nation(s) over about a month.
Rules:
- ONLY Coalition of Crown Albatross residents may participate
- One entry per player (no puppets)
OOC
The tournament will be held throughout July 2023 (Exact dates will be updated later... I'm kind of simultaneously lazy and busy IRL)
I will be simulating the game via Xhoranate, a sports simulator. I can guarantee complete transparency, as always, in simulating the games with fairness and no biases. A reminder that this *isn't real life*, so your team losing a game does not translate to real life drama. Please enjoy this for what it is - a canon event that plays into the fun of NationStates and the Coalition of Crown Albatross community.

General Rules - Be Awesome To One Another
1. Behave kindly. Do not use discriminatory language or personal attacks against one another. Do not press issues; if you see something you don’t like, you can respectfully disagree when opinions do not align, be tolerant towards other’s viewpoints, or scroll along.
2. Do not post content that is libelous, defamatory, harassing, threatening, or inflammatory. For example; do not use obscenities, do not express hatred or intolerance for people on the basis of race, ethnicity, nationality, gender or gender identity, religion, sexual orientation, age, disability, including promoting content that encourages these intolerant attributes.
3. Excessive profanity is not allowed on the Regional Message Board or in the forum threads. Within the discord it is allowed, but never to be directed towards an individual in an antagonistic manner. Furthermore, #general and #roleplay are PG-13 zones, meaning no excessive swearing in those channels. Moderators reserve the right to censor wherever they deem it necessary.
4. Do not post content that is obscene, pornographic, or lewd, or contains nudity or sexually explicit images. Breaking this rule will result in an automatic ban.
5. Direct reference or explicit allusion to sexual assault, sexual harrasment, sexual fantasy is strictly prohibited. Breaking this rule will result in an automatic ban.
6. Do not post content that invades other’s privacy. For example, do not post home addresses, email addresses, contact information, financial information, or personal images of an individual without their consent. Breaking this rule will result in an automatic ban.
7. Respect the privacy of others. If they request to be left alone or dropped from conversation, acknowledge and respect that role. Conversations may continue if it is in the general interest of the public commentary, but do not abridge privacy in order to bring someone into the conversation who is unwilling.
**Important**
1. Moderators will issue warnings on any and all breaches of the General Rules.
2. Every member of the region is granted a three-strike policy, except in regards to General Rules 4, 5, and 6, which are all automatic bans from both the region and the discord server.
3. Moderators reserve the right to determine the extent to which bans are instituted. In regards to Rules 4, 5, and 6, it will be a permanent ban from both the region and the discord server.
Roleplay Rules
1. Consent: Always get consent: if you are trying to interact with another player, use their lore (characters, history, etc.), you must always get their approval.
2. Consent continued: Do not use other player’s characters without their expressed approval (including dialogue, movements, actions, killing, relationships, etc.)
3. Consent continued: Do not attack other players without their expressed approval (including declarations of war, covert operations, raids, assassinations etc.)
4. Consent continued: In-character reactions to other player’s in-character actions are allowed. This includes diplomatic action (closing embassies, economic sanctions, commendations or condemnations).
