Liverpool England is in the region of The Heartland, and has always been bar a few times when regional arguements got in the way. The nation is most reputed for its' sporting achievements, having won two major sporting titles, and hosting two others, excluding minor competitions inside The Heartland.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is effectively ruled by the Department of Defence, with areas such as Healthcare and Public Transport receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, ranking 7th in The Heartland and 872nd in the world at last count.

Sporting Notes

Local Sports

Baseball

14 teams take part in two seperate leagues over three divisions, 7 in each league. The top 4 of League A, and winner and runner up of League B Division II, and winner of League B Division I, and League B wildcard winner qualify for the playoffs.

Football (Soccer)

51 teams take part in a joint league/cup tournament structure, with teams playing each other twice, home and away, 100 games over 20 weeks with 4 games a week. This was introduced by the FALE to encourage a better youth system, as teams' main players would get tired playing every game. The top 32 teams qualify for the second round, where they play each other twice again, home and away, 62 games over 13 weeks. The top 16 then qualify for the cup in a two-legged knockout until the final, which is played 44 weeks after the start of each season. The traditional season-closer is played between the cup winner, and league winner (top placed team of league after 100 games) or second placed team if the same team won both league and cup.
