Posted November 20, 200816 yr Country: Inner Massivia Capital: Attacktonia Official Language: Belsh Currency: Scroat (100 grommets to a scroat) Population: 83 million http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/7533/bff863ed651fb0707a782d9ok4.jpg Geography The People's Republic of Inner Massivia is a landlocked country in Central Quilvoria. It is bordered on the east by the allied countries #75, #76 and #77, to the north by Lorikeet and Skall, to the west by the Democratic Republic of #71, and to the south by the United States of #74, this border being entirely defined by the River Quango. The southern part of the country is hilly and swathed in lush tropical forest which leads to vast acres of savanna in the north. Politics and Economy The United Nations defines Inner Massivia as a "benign dictatorship". It is governed by Professor Sir Quintas de Cancellara and his small team of advisers. Prof de Cancellara led a science-based coup in 1988 against the highly religious ruling party, the Bruges-Abertawe Alliance. The country had been languishing at the lower end of most UN social, eductaional, health and prosperity tables at the time but de Cancellara has brought forward an incredible set of advances over the last 19 years, funded by the discovery of large deposits of both diamonds and Uranium under the extinct volcano Oooguooogu. This has led Inner Massivia to develop a highly efficient set of nuclear reactors and become a net exporter of energy across Quilvoria. It is also home to the world's largest jewellery and diamond market. The benefits of these natural resources has seen Inner Massivia forge ahead as a progressive nation and de Cancellara's reign remains unchallenged despite the lack of true democracy. Langauges There are five official languages: English, Welsh, Flemish, Belsh and Kliik. Kliik is the native language of the aboriginal peoples but has mainly receded to small isolated tribes in deep pockets of the jungle now. English is taught is all schools since 1991 under the 3rd de Cancellara Education Act and many claim will become the predominant language soon. Welsh and Flemish are spoken mostly by older members of the country, but both have been superseded by Belsh, the official language and a hybrid of Welsh and Flemish. This arose from the colonisation during the 1800s by Catholic nuns from Belgium and Presbyterian ministers from South Wales. Both aimed to convert the local tribes people to their religion but interbreeding over the years between both the indigenous and exogenous populations led to the evolution of the hybrid Belsh language. 50% of all TV and radio output must be in Belsh as set down by law. Flag The flag of Inner Massivia was designed by renowned artist Damien Gokwan. The colours represent the pink diamonds found in the deep mines of the country and the green radioactive Uranium that has brought so much prosperity. The six dots represent the six city states Attacktonia, Melt, Pordraet, Karmacoma, Unfinsym and Aqualinia. The three lines represent the rural States of Jungleville, Madprof and Bristool. Music Due to the restrictions of the Telecommunications Act of 1989, 50% of all TV and radio must be broadcast in the hybrid language Belsh. This phlegmy, nasally, guttural language doesn't lend itself well to musical composition so the pop charts are filled with English language singles and albums from across the globe. Professor Sir Quintas de Cancellara spent seven years in his twenties in England studying for first his degree and then his PhD in Advance Physics at Cambridge University, and developed a strong appreciation of glam rock, punk and new wave. His favourite DJ was Dave Lee Travis and favourite artists Slade, David Bowie and the Icicle Works. He has decreed that Inner Massivia will scour the globe for the best artists to represent the country in the Buzzjack Song Contest, and will promise never to be boring in its song choice. Venues The main indoor venue in Attacktonia is the recently completed Mezzanine Bowl which sits on the banks of the River Quango. It has a capacity of 23,000. The venue also boasts the smaller Lively Lounge with a capacity of just 340 for acoustic gigs and VIP after show performances. The botanical gardens of Fabian Park are frequently used for larger open air concerts, where crowds of up to 84,000 can be accommodated. The exclusive Chart Club in Attacktonia is home to the BJSC Appreciation Society and is the venue where the voting for all BJSC competitions take place. The Chart Club has a maximum capacity of 112, and can be found tucked away above the Old Bristolian Microbrewery in Attacktonia's Alt Markt. Membership is by invitation only. Other countries' BJSC competitors are always welcome to perform to the BJSCAS on the Chart Club's intimate stage. The Alt Markt itself has a big screen and is the place where the people of Inner Massivia gather to watch live transmissions of the semi-finals and finals of the BJSC. Free food and drink is provided by corporate sponsors Tescbury's. TV Shows By far the most important TV show in Inner Massivia is The Early Mid Afternoon Not A Repeat Show. It is broadcast on Massivia TV each day from 1pm to 2pm and is hosted by showbusiness legend Teddy Blizzard.

We were prepared to loan him the Presidential Jet and give Gavin and his entourage full use of the top two floors of the 7star Hotel Electron in Attacktonia, as well as a substantial financial stipend. I promise to endeavour to get other contestants to visit the wondrous oasis on the outskirts of Attacktonia where the 22,000 capacity Mezzanine Bowl has recently been opened."
November 21, 200816 yr Ojnoj Update: Gavin Mikhail's promotional tour for his BJSC, starts here tomorrow!

He said "It's what you have to do these days, you have to earn your way in this contest, and what better way to do it than do something I really love doing. I feel this is what cost me in the first contest. Had I done a promotional tour of some sort, I perhaps would have had a bit more hope in at least making the final. But yeah, I can't wait to get it underway and to perform tomorrow in Kopecka."
November 21, 200816 yr Author Inner Massivia Update II The streets of Attacktonia echoed to the sound of firecrackers and rejoicing tonight when it was announced by Professor Sir Quintas de Cancellara that contrary to his previous statement, Ojnoj's BJSC contestant Gavin Mikhail will be visiting the country for the first time to give a concert at the Mezzanine Bowl as part of his promotional tour. 26th Nov 2008: Inner Massivia Gavin's agent Jonjo Deluxe was quoted as saying: "We always intended to visit Inner Massivia, there was merely a mix-up over dates. All details have now been satisfactorily sorted out." Professor Sir Quintas de Cancellara said: "Gavin is one of the most accomplished artists in the world. It wil be an honour to accomodate him on his tour. It is particularly fitting that he is the first major star to play the Mezzanine Bowl since it opened to full capacity. I hope he does a cover of my favourite song, Mud's Tiger Feet. We'd like to thank Jonjo Deluxe for all his hard work in resolving this matter."

November 26, 200816 yr Ojnoj Update: On the 6th date of his tour, Gavin comes to visit Inner Massivia, who are newcomers and were disappointed as they missed out when Gavin originally announced a promotional tour. That however was amended as they were given a date in the end. Tonight was the night many were looking forward too. As gavin took to the stage for the very first time in Inner Massivia. He started off by giving them a piece of his very first and Ojnoj's debut entry "Fight The Sky" which Gavin had JUST missed out on qualifying for the final in BJSC VII. He then welcomed Inner Massivia too the contest and gave them a taste of Ojnoj's past entries as he performed a medley of "Skeleton Song" (Kate Nash, BJSC VIII), "I Don't Know Why" (Twiins, BJSC IX), and "Self Inflicted" (Katy Perry, BJSC X). He then went on to thank the fans for being so supportive and went to wish Leona luck in the contest, as he knows what it's like to debut for a contest as big as this. He then finished his set with the critically acclaimed "Brave" which is Ojnoj's entry this month. Inner Massivia were an immence crowd and Gavin said he "would be happy to perform for them anytime" Ojnoj BJSC XII Entry: Gavin Mikhail - Brave AA7ySdfeNEM Next Stop: Utopia - 29th November 2008

After the concert the Minister of Contemporary Music confirmed that the Institute of Performing Arts in Attacktonia would be renamed "The Gavin Mikhail Institute of Performing Arts" in his honour.
