The '''Istroyan Games''' are the leading international sporting events featuring summer and winter sports competitions in which thousands of athletes from around the world participate in a variety of events. The '''Summer Istroyan Games''' have been held every four years since 1950 and the '''Winter Istroyan Games''' have been held every four years since 1976. The ancient [[Istroya|Istroyans]] held a series of multi-event sporting competitions and provided the inspiration for the contest's name. The Istroyan Games are overseen by the International Istroyan Games Committee.

Patraja, officially the Confederated Republic of Patraja and Her Constituent Provinces, is a country positioned in the south of [[Sarpedon]], neighbored by [[Cartadania]] and [[Volonia]], and by unoccupied land to the west. Its natural borders are mainly defined by the Pelian Channel and its offshoot minor rivers, with the river Iunctus running through the northern capital of Patraja, Karneja.


Patraja has been a member of the [[League of Nations]] since 2028, and is currently led by President Marija Torenvoa of the Confederal People's Congress. Patraja has generally been located to the far-southern portions of Sarpedon, continually occupied and resistant to various invasions until eventual full-time independence in 1883. As of the 2028 National Census, Patraja has a population of 38 million people, and a national Gross Domestic Product of 4 billion Vitaes.
The Games have grown so much that nearly every nation is now represented; colonies and overseas territories are allowed to field their own teams. Every two years the Istroyan Games and its media exposure provide athletes with the chance to attain national and sometimes international fame. The Games also provide an opportunity for the host city and country to showcase themselves to the world. Host cities are now announced 10 years in advance to give nations time to prepare.
==Origins and history==
The Games were first suggested in 1947 as a way to bring the world together again in the spirit of friendly competition following the devastation of the Second Great War. The International Istroyan Games Committee was formed that year and the first host nation was chosen at random from a shortlist; it transpired to be [[Metzetta]], who hosted the [[Hanzeong 1950 Summer Games]] (at the time referred to without the "Summer") in [[Hanzeong|their capital]].


Patraja is considered to have been founded as a conceptual area by the Latinic General Marcus Patrinius during an expedition to the South of the continent, wherein the general seceded from his kingdom to the north and formed his own Kingdom of Patraea. The artificially-constructed state soon fell to rampaging Slavic invasions to the nearby east, but the name had endured after the general's death in battle as the title of a local region in the area.
In [[1968]], [[Caphiria]] pledged to withdraw from the Games unless it was chosen to host; it was subsequently chosen to host the 1974 Summer Games and 1980 Winter Games, both of which were heavily boycotted.


After the Latinic Migration to the south of the continent, the region saw continued years of local tribal battle, but the first founding of what could be considered as a similar comparative to modern-day Patraja were the Zanaeslav Agreements, or the Union of Peace, which lasted from 312 BC to 289 BC, and acted as a peace and customs agreement between many southern Slavic and Latinic tribes after decades of turmoil. In late 289, the Agreements were disrupted by continued pillaging from a secondary wave of Latinic migration. It was also during this time where many of the northernmost provinces began to be characterized as more Latin than Slavic, and where cultural tensions reached their peak in Patraja.
After some discussion the IIGC decided an additional competition highlighting winter sports would be a fitting supplement to their Summer Games and instituted the Winter Games beginning in 1976; therefore there would now be an Istroyan Games every two years, alternating between Summer and Winter Games. The first Winter Games were held in [[Aciria]], again chosen through random draw.
==International Istroyan Games Committee==
The IIGC is responsible for selecting host nations, overseeing the planning of the Games and negotiating sponsorship and broadcasting rights. The Committee makes all pronouncements in three languages; [[Julian Ænglish|English]], [[Caphiric Latin|Latin]] and the language of the current host nation. The committee board is required to have members from several different nations. The IIGC maintains offices in [[Stretton|Anglei]], [[Trosseurs]], [[Kurst]] and [[Hanzeong]].


A second era of peace, and a formal nation, was created in 260 BC, when local tribal leader Anaeron had expertly maneuvered around his wartime opponents to gain the vast majority of deeply-Patrajan lands. The first formally-created Kingdom of Patarija lasted from 260 BC to 190 BC, and created a First Golden Age of Patraja, wherein the pagan kingdom formed most of what people consider as classical Patrajan culture. During this time, a semi-formal northern border and a rudimentary-but-rigid border control system stopped any serious migrations in and out of the nation. From this came an accidental mixing of cultures, of Slavic and Latinic, into one Patrajan nation. The Patrajan language was thought to have evolved this time, from a mixture of Astari-Slavish and Dominian-Latin - the two most prevalent language groups in the nation at the time. King Anaeron passed on his crown to his son, Maxin, in 235 BC. Maxin died an early death, and handed rule after a short interlude period of violence to his 17-year old son, Proktrii.
The current president of the Committee is Patrick de Weluta of [[Urcea]], who has served since 2003, taking over from Leon Villeneuve of [[Aciria]] who served from 1979 until 2003. The other former presidents are Harold Scudder of [[Anglei]] who served 1950-1960 and Satō Ichika of [[Canpei]] who served 1960-1979 as the committee's only female president.
==Symbols==
[[File:IstroyanGamesFlag.png|alt=Flag of the Istroyan Games.|thumb|Flag of the Istroyan Games.]]
The flag of the Istroyan Games was designed to symbolise international unity. The seven stars represent the seven continents from which athletes arrive to compete.


In 190 BC, the three-generational royal family of Patraja were overthrown by a mob after the Rape of Mariana by Proktrii. Mariana was a famed civil servant, and a rare woman of the state at the time, and was held up as a martyr of the masses as reason to abolish the current royal family. By the time of the end of the chaos, however, so many had declared themselves leader or co-king that mass confusion was abound. In particular, an old myth says that a local villager attempted to make his goat the Chancellor to the King. From 190 BC to 188-187 BC, tribal disunity essentially tore the Kingdom of Patarija into pieces.
Each Games has had an associated animal mascot designed by the host nation, often featuring on advertising materials and merchandise. The first Istroyan Mascot was [[Hanzeong|Hanzeong's]] Mwicha The Bear Cub in 1950.
==Ceremonies==
The opening and closing ceremonies are held before and after each edition of the Istroyan Games and have become as anticipated in their own right as the sporting events.
===Opening Ceremony===
The ceremony held prior to the commencement of the sporting events begin with the entrance of the president of the International Istroyan Games Committee and a representative of the host country followed by the hoisting of the host country's flag and a performance of its national anthem. The host nation then presents artistic displays of music, singing, dance, and theatre representative of its culture.


After unrest, and several wars, many tribal leaders came together to form the Patrajan Republic of Peoples. Though not the actual name of the state, as no official name was given, the term "Patraja" first entered usage at this stage, mostly as a synonym for "The People within Patarija," whilst the actual regional name persisted to be Patarija. This union of peoples was seen as the first democratic enclave of the southern portion of the continent, and slowly expanded from 187 BC to 180 BC to envelop the whole of the formerly-royal lands, whether through negotiation or forced annexation. Notably, the term Konsal, or the anglicized Consul, entered into use in the Republic around this time, mostly referring to a figurehead-leader of a gathering of tribes. At many moments in the Republic, there were multiple Konsal's representing different tribes - and at other times, there was one that seemed to represent them all.
After the artistic portion of the ceremony, the athletes parade into the stadium grouped by nation, ordered alphabetically according to the language of the host nation, aside from the host nation itself which always enters last. Speeches are given by the IIGC president and the representative of the host nation, often a head of state, formally opening the games. Finally, the stadium's beacon is lit by a prestigious athlete of the host nation using the Istroyan Torch.
===Medal Presentation===
A medal ceremony is held at the conclusion of each event; the first, second and third-placed teams or competitors stand on a three-tiered rostrum and receive gold, silver and bronze medals respectively, which are usually manufactured by the host nation's mint. The medals are presented by members of the IIGC. After the medals have been received, the national flags of the three medallists are raised while the national anthem of the gold medallist's country is played. In the Summer Istroyan Games, each medal ceremony is held at the venue where the event has taken place, but during the Winter Games the ceremony often takes place in a special plaza.
===Closing Ceremony===
The ceremony held after the games have concluded begins with flag-bearers from each participating nation entering the stadium, followed by the athletes who all enter together, without any national distinction. Three flags are hoisted; the flag of the host nation, the flag of ancient Istroya and the flag of the next nation to host the games. Then the final sporting event takes place; a demonstration sport chosen by the host country, often representing a native game, for which no medals are given (demonstration sports only take place in Summer Games). Then, the final medals are given, having not been handed out in separate ceremonies like the rest; in Summer the medals for the marathon are presented, while in Winter the medals for pairs' figure skating are presented.


The Patrajan Republic of Peoples lasted until the Second Kingdom's founding in 70 BC, and is considered the official start of the formal Middle Antiquarian histories of Patraja.
Then there is a short ceremony in which the representative of the host nation passes a special Istroyan Games flag to the IIGC president, who passes it to a representative of the next nation to host the games, while a piece of music from the host nation is played. The IIGC president makes their closing remarks and the Istroyan Flame is extinguished, signalling the end of the games.
==Etymology==
==Events==
The word "Patraja" is a word that's been famously kept good track of. Whether through the bureaucratic and obscure leanings of the Patrajan culture, or by coincidental knowledge, much is known about the term. The first ancestor of the word is thought to descend from the Latinic general Marcus Patrinius, who founded the short-lived Kingdom of Patraea. Since that point, many refer to the more Slavic word of Patarija as a generally-kept local euphemism for the region in which the kingdom used to reside in. Patarija had kept regular use as the name of the local region, and then the nation, for centuries afterward, with "Patraja" first materializing in the first republican governments of the nation as a term to refer to peoples within the region of Patarija. Since that point, the two words had gradually fused together into a simple "Patraja". After Christianization and a full Latinization of the nation's etymological terms since the founding of Christianity, Patraja had seen a primary use. In 45 AC, "Patraja" was recognized as the legal name of the nation within the Third Kingdom.
===Summer Programme===
==History==
The Summer Games feature 6 sports categories, divided into 34 disciplines which are in turn divided into 152 events. Some sports are grouped into categories they don't strictly belong to for convenience of the organisers. Nations may enter as many or as few events as they desire.
Patraja has generally been considered a black sheep of the Sarpedonian continent, continually attempting and failing to unify into one national state. With a famed history of both republicanism and monarchism, as well as experimental forms of governance and confederacy, Patraja has had an equal mixture of eras of development and unification along with eras of chaos and invasion.

===Latin Migration and The Zanaeslav Union===
|+Sports featured in the Summer Games
Patraja was originally settled as a Latin-Slavic warground after the collapse of the short-lived Kingdom of Patraea. In this melting pot of aggressive warring areas and mixing tribes, the unique Latinic-Slavic culture of Patraja first emerged in peace during the Zanaeslav Agreements, or the Union of Peace, which lasted from 312 BC to 289 BC. This tribal agreement of union and confederacy was a general peace and customs agreement and began the first sightings of a unique Patrajan culture, with an increase in migration and intermixing between the native Slavic and immigrating Latin peoples. The northern sections of Patraja in particular, though sharing a distinctly-Latin lean, were the first to unify into what was considered a true Patrajan nation. This area, perhaps in accordance to this, also partook very little in the chaos that followed after the collapse of the Agreements. Through various Latin, or perhaps Slavic, provocations unknown to historians at this time, the Agreements collapsed into tribal anarchy once more, lasting from 289 BC to 260 BC. Not much is known about the early history of the Latins and Slavs within the southern Sarpedonian continent, and even less is known about the various details leading up to the first signs of organization, but after 260 BC, more clear signs of both Patrajan culture and governance emerge.

===The First Kingdom and Republic of Peoples===
!Discipline
In 260 BC, the Patrajan tribal anarchy seemed to have come to a halt for the last time in history. A tribal chief, likely from a northern section of the region, named Anaeron, managed to gain control over the former-Union tribal lands through a mixture of bribery and war. Many attribute this seemingly-quick and absurdly-large endeavor to the man's cutthroat political strategies, though not much is known. After the conquest of most of the preliminary areas of what is considered Patraja minor today, Anaeron formed the Kingdom of Patarija, which he ruled from 260 BC until his death in 235 BC. This period of time began what is generally referred to as the First Golden Age of Patraja, where the actual culture of classical Patrajan as many know it today was formed. With a rudimentary-but-secure border preventing further Latin migrations from disorganizing local Slavic groups, King Anaeoron promoted a vast amount of cultural interludes between the populations. Many historians today consider this to be one of the earliest observations of intentional eugenic actions and laws. Indeed, at the height of the push for cultural integration in 245 BC, a new set of decrees generally referred to by historians as the Marriages of Culture Laws, King Anaeron passed orders of a minimum number of inter-cultural marriages to be reached per year. At the height of these demands, an inter-cultural marriage rate of 15% was often demanded. Many historians accuse this action, along with other strange acts of tyranny, such as the ill-funded Anaeoronic Walls, as proof of a declining mental state in the first King in his later years. King Anaeron from old age and passed on his Kingdom in the first peaceful transition of power in Patraja towards his son, Maxin.

!Team Size
King Maxin very much followed in his father's footsteps, continuing the First Golden Age of cultural integration and nation-building. In 230 BC, as an early act in his rule, he centralized the rule of the Kingdom by forcefully merging various bordering tribes into singular Dukjels - precursors to Late Antiquarian and Medieval duchies - to be ruled by one man instead of many. Because of this strategy, the Maxinian legal system had a much better implementation than the Anaeoronic systems, and various laws were passed. In 228 BC, shortly after the completion of the reorganization of the Kingdom, Maxin ordered the relocation of resources from the Anaeoronic Walls to the new Maxinian Walls to the north, which were completed within three years of their start. These walls were highly effective, if crude, methods of keeping out persisting Latinic migrations. King Maxin died in early death in 210 BC due to wounds sustained in battle after a regular conflict with western tribal leaders, and passed away with no apparent heir. After an interlude period of near-anarchy in the Kingdom, a nephew named Proktrii was found as an heir to Maxin.
!Notes
 
|-
Taking the throne at only 17 years old, Proktrii instantly showed an exhibition for being the opposite of his predecessors. Raised in a Latin home, the new king always showed a favor to the Latinic settlers of the north of the nation, and even instituted controversial amendments to the Marriages of Culture Laws that favored Latin-headed marriages. This new court culture of clear bias and a more reckless attitude also led to a reported distraction from state affairs and a new focus on the benefits to the king. The remnants of the first royal castle of Patraja, unearthed for the first time in 2022 AC, show signs of construction around the period that would confirm that Proktrii nearly quadrupled the size of his primary realm during a very short period of time. According to rare eyewitness accounts of the time, such as those in the Tablets of Warenus, a visitor from the neighboring southern islands, the court culture of King Proktrii regularly engaged in more salacious and dramatic affairs such as orgies and drama than before. Though sexual exploits were of no surprise in any court at the time, many say that the situation in the Kingdom of Patarija took an even more extreme turn. By all evidence, King Proktrii exhibited a much looser and less focused rule than his uncle, and an unclear moral code that exhibited itself for the first, and last, time in public in 190 BC.

In 190 BC, King Proktrii raped a publicly-lauded courtier and administrator today known as being called Mariana. The Rape of Mariana by Proktrii was soon shown to the public by an unknown source, leading to widespread outrage and a martyrization of Mariana by the common classes of the kingdom. Within the year, mobs had regularly gathered, and force was being used on them when it was able. At the end of 190 BC, one of these mobs successfully stormed the royal castle and killed King Proktrii. The lineage of Anaeron is thought to have ended here, though some evidence of illegitimate children involving Proktrii still remain. From the years of 190 to 188-187 BC, the nation of Patarija descended into chaos once more. As chaos increased, historical records decreased, almost to the standards of the larger anarchy of the Latin Migration period. What is known, however, is that the conflicts of this time were much more massive and exhaustive than before.

Whereas previous boons of conquest were individual tribes, the creation of a Kingdom of Patarija had shown to local leaders that an entire nation could be won, or simply claimed, through conquest. Because of this, many battles were essentially fought to the death, and the local area of the former royal family was in a course of constant contention. It had seemed that whoever held the former royal realms could declare themselves King at any time. During this 2-3 year period, some reports say that there were about a dozen self-declared Kings of Patarija, with some existing at the same time as one another. After years of exhaustive conflict, which ravaged and opened up the nation to a variety of foreign intrusions, some form an armistice was reportedly agreed upon in 188-187 BC. From here, a small confederation of tribes informally referred to as the Patrajan Republic of Peoples was formed out of mainly-northern and central areas of the nation, dead-bent on a seemingly-impossible goal of a reunion of the Patrajan people. Whether this Republic of Peoples was a confederation of pragmatic manipulation by a few important leaders, or a genuinely-idealistic national union, is unknown. However, most historians tentatively describe this as the first era of democracy within Patraja.

From 188-187 BC to 180 BC, this Republic took up essentially all of the former-Patarijan lands belonging to the Kingdom. The most notable battle, often referred to as the turning point of Patrajans as a people, was ironically held against a massive and unknown group of western invaders, famous at the time for a wish to expand fully into the devastated Patrajan areas.

{{Istroyan Games}}

Revision as of 11:40, 20 September 2022

The Istroyan Games are the leading international sporting events featuring summer and winter sports competitions in which thousands of athletes from around the world participate in a variety of events. The Summer Istroyan Games have been held every four years since 1950 and the Winter Istroyan Games have been held every four years since 1976. The ancient Istroyans held a series of multi-event sporting competitions and provided the inspiration for the contest's name. The Istroyan Games are overseen by the International Istroyan Games Committee.

The Games have grown so much that nearly every nation is now represented; colonies and overseas territories are allowed to field their own teams. Every two years the Istroyan Games and its media exposure provide athletes with the chance to attain national and sometimes international fame. The Games also provide an opportunity for the host city and country to showcase themselves to the world. Host cities are now announced 10 years in advance to give nations time to prepare.

Origins and history

The Games were first suggested in 1947 as a way to bring the world together again in the spirit of friendly competition following the devastation of the Second Great War. The International Istroyan Games Committee was formed that year and the first host nation was chosen at random from a shortlist; it transpired to be Metzetta, who hosted the Hanzeong 1950 Summer Games (at the time referred to without the "Summer") in their capital.

In 1968, Caphiria pledged to withdraw from the Games unless it was chosen to host; it was subsequently chosen to host the 1974 Summer Games and 1980 Winter Games, both of which were heavily boycotted.

After some discussion the IIGC decided an additional competition highlighting winter sports would be a fitting supplement to their Summer Games and instituted the Winter Games beginning in 1976; therefore there would now be an Istroyan Games every two years, alternating between Summer and Winter Games. The first Winter Games were held in Aciria, again chosen through random draw.

International Istroyan Games Committee

The IIGC is responsible for selecting host nations, overseeing the planning of the Games and negotiating sponsorship and broadcasting rights. The Committee makes all pronouncements in three languages; English, Latin and the language of the current host nation. The committee board is required to have members from several different nations. The IIGC maintains offices in Anglei, Trosseurs, Kurst and Hanzeong.

The current president of the Committee is Patrick de Weluta of Urcea, who has served since 2003, taking over from Leon Villeneuve of Aciria who served from 1979 until 2003. The other former presidents are Harold Scudder of Anglei who served 1950-1960 and Satō Ichika of Canpei who served 1960-1979 as the committee's only female president.

Symbols

Flag of the Istroyan Games.
Flag of the Istroyan Games.

The flag of the Istroyan Games was designed to symbolise international unity. The seven stars represent the seven continents from which athletes arrive to compete.

Each Games has had an associated animal mascot designed by the host nation, often featuring on advertising materials and merchandise. The first Istroyan Mascot was Hanzeong's Mwicha The Bear Cub in 1950.

Ceremonies

The opening and closing ceremonies are held before and after each edition of the Istroyan Games and have become as anticipated in their own right as the sporting events.

Opening Ceremony

The ceremony held prior to the commencement of the sporting events begin with the entrance of the president of the International Istroyan Games Committee and a representative of the host country followed by the hoisting of the host country's flag and a performance of its national anthem. The host nation then presents artistic displays of music, singing, dance, and theatre representative of its culture.

After the artistic portion of the ceremony, the athletes parade into the stadium grouped by nation, ordered alphabetically according to the language of the host nation, aside from the host nation itself which always enters last. Speeches are given by the IIGC president and the representative of the host nation, often a head of state, formally opening the games. Finally, the stadium's beacon is lit by a prestigious athlete of the host nation using the Istroyan Torch.

Medal Presentation

A medal ceremony is held at the conclusion of each event; the first, second and third-placed teams or competitors stand on a three-tiered rostrum and receive gold, silver and bronze medals respectively, which are usually manufactured by the host nation's mint. The medals are presented by members of the IIGC. After the medals have been received, the national flags of the three medallists are raised while the national anthem of the gold medallist's country is played. In the Summer Istroyan Games, each medal ceremony is held at the venue where the event has taken place, but during the Winter Games the ceremony often takes place in a special plaza.

Closing Ceremony

The ceremony held after the games have concluded begins with flag-bearers from each participating nation entering the stadium, followed by the athletes who all enter together, without any national distinction. Three flags are hoisted; the flag of the host nation, the flag of ancient Istroya and the flag of the next nation to host the games. Then the final sporting event takes place; a demonstration sport chosen by the host country, often representing a native game, for which no medals are given (demonstration sports only take place in Summer Games). Then, the final medals are given, having not been handed out in separate ceremonies like the rest; in Summer the medals for the marathon are presented, while in Winter the medals for pairs' figure skating are presented.

Then there is a short ceremony in which the representative of the host nation passes a special Istroyan Games flag to the IIGC president, who passes it to a representative of the next nation to host the games, while a piece of music from the host nation is played. The IIGC president makes their closing remarks and the Istroyan Flame is extinguished, signalling the end of the games.
