Laraniem World Cup 2020

The Laraniem World Cup of 2020 is an ongoing tournament opened by Hagston to anyone and everyone in NationStates. It was begun on the 23rd April 2020.

It is possible that the idea was taken from an original suggestion by Koxor which was in turn based on a similar tournament originally held in the nation's original region, The West Pacific.

Announcement
At 9:00 a.m. UTC on the 20th April 2020, Hagston published a dispatch which announced that the Laraniem World Cup was taking place. It mentioned that each entrant would need to choose a defence point and an attack point, which would determine the results of matches.

First Round
The first round of the World Cup took place on the 23rd April 2020. It involved 32 of the 35 teams.
