| Message | I am all for any suggestions, but football is too common for such a great nation. Camel racing sounds good... |

| Message | I wouldn't mind rallying. What about demolition derby? Or, how about this. Why don't we get some ideas together, and create a new sport? |

| Message | Okay, Minimalist, here' s the problem with Camel Ralleying. . .they'd have to go back and forth across Vrassa. Yes, most of Vrassa is desert, but Odufaray is humid plains in the north turning to swamp and wetlands on the south, Suldanor is grassy plains (and a small mountain desert) in the center, and on the east and south, swamp and wetlands in the north, and jungle in the south. Neveras is very mountainous, and it's very hot in the valleys (because Kalistan is tropical) but the mountains are high enough to be cold enough to have snow and skiiing. Ananto is a "Mediterranean climate," hot dry summers, cool, wet winters, and the northern part is north enough to get a little snow in winter. So, while a camel race across Vrassa would be interesting, and certainly something to put in the background, it's too limited for a national sport. |
