Description[?]:
| I was reading the wikipedia page for Rutania and I notice that it said; "Also, the rich athletic heritage of Rutania has allowed Rutania's most popular sport, Ice Hockey, and its professional league, the Rutanian Ice Hockey Association, to prosper. Over half of all Ice Hockey players in the world hail from Rutania." So I don't understand how Ice Hockey is not our national sport even though it is very popular and that we are very good at it :P. I'm opening debate here to change our national sport, here is our options: -Cricket and Bowling (the original) -Cricket, Bowling and Ice Hockey -Ice Hockey -Cricket and Ice Hockey -Bowling and Ice Hockey After we all decide the new national sport I'll commence voting. |

| Message | For me I think we should change it to Ice Hockey, but I'm willing to hear other opinions. |

| Message | No, we do not have conditions for Ice Hockey, Rutania is a country on ocean and has mild climate, ice hockey cannot be national sport. The only solution is to log in to wiki and change this - btw, when we are on this, our wiki page needs a lot of work - Geography, Culture, Economy, History, Language etc. We should also talk something about identity. I could see Rutania something as a combination of real Canada and Australia, with some european elements, and considering that Rutania is one of the oldest countries and republics in Terra. Maybe we should introduce other ethnocultural elements, original to Rutania? As far as I am concerned, I would leave cricket and bowling for now. |

| Message | -Black belt martial arts instructor Zhang Mingkei stands- I say we should put a high contact sport. Maybe cricket, bowling and martial arts fighting? After all, the dragon on the Rutanian flag calls for a sport that puts an emphasis on strength, dexterity, power. |
