Toketi World Cup 2012 Host Bid

Post by Kallinn Ynnetrrr »

So the FMF is beginning to take hosting bids for next year's World Cup, and we are eligible to make a bid (although, we can't joint bid as Gralus). Because we hosted in 2007, I wasn't planning on making a bid for Toketi, but I've been told we have a reasonable chance of actually winning the bid due to the resurgence of a national league, our reputation as a strong international team, and our experience in hosting from 2007.

I've halfway filled out the form, I'll put it here for review before actually submitting it.
Nation Name: Toketi
Association: AEFA
Number of Stadiums: 10
  • Rielrar Athletic Dome (82,000) - Rielrar, Bay of Eminence
  • Dekiru Dome - Dekiru City, Grot Kësh
  • Momouchi Stadium - Dekinai City, Grot Kësh
  • Skoitomashu Athletic Stadium - Skoitomashu, Ostshon Kagan
  • Ar-Football Stadium - Störyash, Bay of Eminence
  • *East Rielrar Zoopark Stadium - Rielrar, Bay of Eminence*
  • RedPlatinum Arena - Hamuji, Grot Kësh
  • *Dragonstongue Coliseum - Roldar, Ëstshon Paran*
  • *Prince's City Hippodrome - Krerdar, Bay of Eminence*
  • *Southern Reaches Garden - Kotsovan, Doshtan Yokutar*
Leader: Gerk ronAnaglea I, Sixth King of Toketi, and Demon of Fides, Emperor of Gralus
Government: Absolute Monarchy (Toketi) within Triumvirate-led State (Gralus)
Number of Leagues: 1 (combined league with Novatainia)
Number of Teams in Premier Division: 8 (4 in the Toketi division)

Why do you think you deserve to host the world cup?:

Toketi hosted the World Cup in 2007 in a joint venture with Novatainia, and therefore already have the infrastructure and experience of successfully hosting an event of this magnitude (six of the ten stadiums listed have been in existence since 2006). The defunct leagues from Novatainia and Toketi will be revived and combined for a renewed program, which shall see its first season in the year leading up to the 2012 WC, rejuvenating interest in the sport in Toketi. This also means that Toketi's international squad will head into the next world cup with some much needed experience for the slew of rookies playing this year. Toketi has participated in every World Cup thus far, and is known to perform well, most times advancing beyond the group stage, and even taking the runner-up title in 2007, making Toketi a consistently high-ranked team internationally.
I could definitely use some help writing the answer to the last question because I haven't slept in 2 days and I'm really scrambled right now. Also, please point out any other issues any of you find, I was to make sure this is as strong a bid as possible.

On the list of stadiums (which I still need to list capacities for), 6 of them are from Toketi's old league, and the other 4 (marked with *s) are either new stadiums for IAFL or stadiums being planned for this even. Just to let you all know.

As for a Novatainian bid, I might leave that to Novatainians to discuss, because I have absolutely zero authority to speak for them...

I don't think Novatainia will put in a bid, but we'd be happy to throw our backing behind Toketi's (if that means anything). Also, you have LG okay to put in a bid ;)

I'd still like someone to clean up my answer to the "why should you be picked" part, it looks really awful to me, jumbled and messy.

Also, I need to figure out what the Tokish name for the Bay of Eminence was...

I'm adding a stadium in Anebati, simply named the Anebati Football Pitch, though you may not really want to include it on the list as we're talking a few sets of wooden bleachers for seating and the rest just standing room (medieval tech yay!).

I don't see anything else to really add to the 'why' part. Seems good to me.

Yeah, the Anebati field is much too small for an international event. I mean, Rielrar's main stadium holds over 80000

As the deadline for submitting bids is today, if you want to make this official, better post it over at the FMF pretty sharpish :wink:

Done. Though I've discovered something rather crucial that needs to be addressed with the micras wiki - the pages for various organizations and things ought to have links to their respective forums and whatnot. Took me a good fifteen minutes of web searching to find where to post it, just off of knowing 'FMF.' Though I suppose part of that is just my unfamiliarity with micronational things outside of Gralus.

Then I realized you had the Emperor wrong, it's really Kara, even though Bayen is inactive, but I couldn't remember her full name, so that took me another five or ten minutes to find.

Oh, cool, great, thank you! (I probably should have linked the forum around here somewhere, my bad)

Aha, I had not noticed that. Yet, my point still stands, there ought to be links to these things on the wiki, it is, after all, supposed to be a place for learning and discovery.
