The PEELympic Crest

Introduction

The PEELympic Games, or PEELympics, is an international multi-sport event taking place every four years and comprising of summer and winter games. Started in 2052, the Games of the PEELympiad have brought together many nations of the PEEL region for peaceful, sportsmanlike competition unfettered by outside political difference.

On occasion, however, political and partisan bickering has had a significant effect on the games.

There is a standard two-year period between summer and winter games, although in 2056 both Winter and Summer games were played, as the 2054 Winter games had been cancelled due to a region-wide war the previous year. Once again, the 2058 and 2060 PEELympics were cancelled after the collapse of governments in MDKCorp and Nurdbotia, resulting civil wars, and the ensuing regionwide economic recession.

PEELympic Sports

A wide spectrum of athletic competition can be seen at every PEELympiad, and the list of events is ever growing. At last count, the Summer Games featured 45 total events, compared with 27 during the Winter PEELympics.
