Day 1

The role of sport in national identity cannot be underestimated. For many, it provides a catalyst of national pride and patriotism, galvanising a people in a single moment of glory.
What is your official national sport?
In many countries, the official national sport is not necissarily the one most associated with national pride, nor the most popular.
What is the sport that has your citizens foaming at the mouth every time a game is played? Is it your official national sport, or is it a completely different sport altogether?
- Spoiler:
- What is your official national sport?
In Arcacia, it is archery. This is due to the importance of archery as a means of defence in Arcacia's earliest days. Despite no longer needing to organise a militia, archery is still part of school sports programs and almost every Arcacian can fire an arrow with dexterity.
In Lycanthia, it is handball. Imported by French settlers in the 20th century, handball quickly gained popularity and the Lycanthian national team is one of the most respected sports teams in the country.

In Arcacia, it is most definitely hockey. With a national league that some would argue is disproportionate to Arcacia's size, there is even an entire channel devoted to the sport and hockey is shown 24 hours a day. Every game of the AHL (Arcacian Hockey League) is shown live and a spot on the national team is the most coveted goal for Arcacia's ~3,500 registered players.
In Lycanthia, it is speed skating and handball. Handball games are very popular, but speed skating, especially international competitions, have Lycanthians glued to their televisions. Hockey also draws an enthusiastic crowd

What is your official national sport?
For Holidia, there is no official national sport, the defacto is however, Football (Soccer). With over 60% of boys aged 10-15 in team and 85% of boys regularly playing football weekly or more.
In Grammar Schools, the male sport is Rugby in winter, Cricket in summer and the female sport is Hockey or Netball in winter, Tennis in summer. In high schools there are no semi-official sports but for boys football is predominantly played over rugby and for girls netball over hockey.
What is the sport that has your citizens foaming at the mouth every time a game is played? Is it your official national sport, or is it a completely different sport altogether?
Holidia has a fairly good International football team (27th in world rankings, although for nation size this is excellent) and football is by far the most televised and popular sport.
Rugby also gets good publicity and is quite popular.
Tennis, Water sports and aquatics are the sports Holidia excel at
