New Nations to conquer...errr...join hattrick!
 

2003-10-21 New countries next season
Season end is close at hand, and it is time to announce that 6 new countries will join the Hattrick family next season. South America has been growing on a broad scale recently and three of the new leagues are from that continent: Paraguay, Ecuador and Bolivia. Although African growth has been negligable so far, we think it is time to add two countries there: Huge nation Nigeria and Morocco (Al Maghrib). And finally... much requested... it's... Faroe islands. And there was much rejoicing...

Perhaps my three years of previos experience in Africa will come in handy when trying to communicate with the locals. CLICK BOOK CH CH ALI GHANDI.

According to the weatherchannel.com, I have officially taken over Missouri:

I had never heard of the Faroe Islands before so I figured I'd pass along my findings. Most stuff found at Yahoo Reference .

The Country


Background: The population of the Faroe Islands is largely descended from Viking settlers who arrived in the 9th century. The islands have been connected politically to Denmark since the 14th century. A high degree of self-government was attained in 1948.

Location: Northern Europe, island group between the Norwegian Sea and the north Atlantic Ocean, about one-half of the way from Iceland to Norway

Population: 45,296 (July 2000 est.)
But if it's anything like Sverige, half the population plays hattrick. Not much to do with all the snow, I guess

Dependency Status: part of the Kingdom of Denmark; self-governing overseas administrative division of Denmark since 1948

Chief of State: Queen MARGRETHE II of Denmark (since 14 January 1972), represented by High Commissioner Bente KLINTE, chief administrative officer (since NA)

Head of Government: Prime Minister Anfinn KALLSBERG (since 9 May 1998)

Currency: 1 Danish krone (DKr) = 100 oere

Military Branches: no organized native military forces; only a small Police Force and Coast Guard are maintained

very interesting!

thanks for that SI

Ecuador U-21 manager, right here.

Finally, they have added North Dakota!

I fought for Faroe to get their own country in HT.

Well not really "fought," but I lent my support.

oh, you mean Faroe islands, not Fargo!!! For a moment I was sure The Afoci had succeded in declaring Fargo, ND an island and had received his very own country... oh well, better luck next time...

Thanks Frogman, I will keep fighting the good fight!

Exactly how does a "The Afoci" fight a "good" fight?

With Lasers.

Ah, I see. Not a "fair" fight, but a "good" fight. I suppose any fight a "The Afoci" wins, is a "good" fight.

You are catching on. Within a few months, perhaps you too could be a great Evil Mad Scientist!

Boy, I hope not.

You couldn't handle the pressures.

I can't handle your mom, much less the pressures of being an Afoci.

STOP!!! ...damn sailors.

Where? :)

Mom says your small.

She said you were small, too.

Eye gouges, hair pulling, repeated kicks to the groin. Those sort of things...

SI

You forgot "your mom" jokes.

Dola

I'm all for North Dakota being a country, my wife is from there and sometimes I really wonder whether or not she's from the U.S.

We a weird bunch. We no like outsiders much.

Wow...you sound just like her parents.
