From NSwiki, the NationStates encyclopedia.
World Cup 34 was hosted by "Grumpy Old Fogeys" Ariddia and Alasdair I Frosticus and featured 4 RP themes: background detail, interviews, defections, and the Oneiromancer. In the end, an unlikely semi-final matchup featuring two teams outside the top 10-Elves Security Forces and Milchama-led to an easy victory for Ariddia in the final.
Qualifying Stage
The only defection during the qualifiers was that of Br. David of the Woods (formerly known as owiavi) from Errinundera to the Archregimancy.
