Audioslavia is an extremely old nation. Formed in December 2002, it has been mostly apathetic towards foreign affairs. Modern Audioslavia has never participated in any wars, and has only made itself known once, in protecting ex-region mates The Belmore Family from trade blockages many many years ago, although nobody can quite remember who Audioslavia was protecting TBF from.

Nevertheless, what Audioslavian history has lacked in international incidents it makes up for in sporting achievement. Well, sporting participation at least. Football has always been the number one sport in Audioslavia, although its mistrust of foreigners led it to ignore the first three Football World Cup tournaments. After being impressed by the tournament, Audioslavia entered its national side into World Cup 4, and the rest is in the history books. And the 'Sport' section on this page.

Geography

The Audioslavian mainland is seperated into eight distinctive sections, or 'counties'. Machinegardia (pronounced Mash-In-Gard-Ee-Ya) lies in the south east near the border of the former Lemmitania. Phoenix (Fee-Nix) is located to the south, Wallingham (Wol-Ling-Um) lies south-west, Caylerden (Kay-Ler-Dun) is in the far west, Soundgardia (Sao-Und-Gar-Dee-Ya) is in the north-west near the Belmorian Sea. Ridern (Ridd-Urn) is in the far north, next to Fatherham (Fah-thuh-rum) in the north-east and finally Cornellby (Core-Nul-Bee or Core-Nell-Be to locals) in the east.

Machinegardia

The captial of Machingardia is Machinegrad (pop 200m). It is home to a lot of ex-pat Lemmitanians and Gilmeecians. The names of the people there are usually derived from germanic or slavic languages. The football side plays in red shirts and black shorts.

Phoenix

Phoenix's capital is Joia City (pop 7.5m). Its people generally have English, Spanish or Italian names. Their football team play in blue shirts with white shorts

Wallingham

Wallingham's capital is Walling City (pop 17m). Its people usually have English, American or Gaelic names. Wallingham's football team play in orange and black.

Caylerden

Caylerden is largely populated by people with celtic origins. Its football team plays in green and white. Graythorpe is the capital. Its main rival is Phoenix

Soundgardia

Soundgardia is the largest county in Audioslavia. Its capital Soundgardiana is home to over 300m people. The football team play in all purple and has a large rivalry with Machinegardia. Soundgardia is the most diverse of regions in Audioslavia

Ridern

The Ridern Raiders play in yellow and black striped shirts. They're people are mainly of English origin. The capital of Ridern is Darrien (pop 4m)

Fatherham

Fatherham play their football in all white. They are arguably the least proficient footballing power in Audioslavia. Their capial is Fathren (pop 9.2m)

Cornellby

The Cornellby side are the best footballing side in Audioslavia behind Soundgardia and Machinegardia. They play in sky-blue and black, and their capital is Cornellby City (pop 65m).

Religion

Audioslavia's government does not take into account any religious beliefs when making decisions, and caters for the athiest point of view. However, 88% of all Audioslavians are catholic. This irregularity has spawned many fruitless debates and protests at the government to recognise that Audioslavia is a religious society, but usually to no avail, and the country remains 'officially' without religion.

Other religions include Islam (0.7%), Buddhism (0.25%), Paganism (1.6%) and Protestantism (1.6%) with the rest declaring themselves Athiest or, for the more sarcastic, Jedi.

Sport

Football is the nation's favourite past-time, and the only sport to be played in Audioslavia at a professional level. Rugby is also extremely popular, as is athletics and also Ice Hockey. Cricket is played by a select few in the rural areas of Audioslavia. A history of Audioslavia's football progress can be found at the Audioslavia's Football History page
