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.

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.
''Prafáti Princeps Glássariaei'' '''Guillaume Maria d'Agostino''' <small>[[Order of Joanus|CC]] [[Imperial Order of the Holy Cross|MHC]] [[Order of the North Star|GNS]] [[Order of the Shield|OE]]</small> (born 11 February, 1966) is the commandant of the [[New Harren|New Harrenic]] [[Royal and Confederate Army (New Harren)|Royal and Confederate Army]], having been designated as such on the creation of the [[New Harren|New Harrenic]] [[Royal and Confederate Army (New Harren)|Royal and Confederate Army]] on September 1st, 2021, by [[LUDC]] leadership at the recommendation of [[Phillip de Stonne]], [[Chief of Defence (Yonderre)|Chief of Defence]] of the [[Yonderian Defence Force]].
==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]].


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.
Having previously held commands in the [[Yonderian Defence Force|YDF]] [[Training Command (Yonderre)|Training Command]], d'Agostino was perceived as an ideal candidate to organize and oversee the training and subsequent combat actions of the fledgling Royal and Confederate Army. d'Agostino was granted administrative furlough from the YDF to travel to [[New Harren]] in early August of 2021 alongside a number of other YDF volunteers, who were then sworn in on September 1st, 2021. Modelled largely on the YDF and under d'Agostino's supervision, the Royal and Confederate Army has been centralized from its many local militias into a more modern army, although it still lacks the heavy equipment to fight offensive wars independently.


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.
==Early life==
==International Istroyan Games Committee==
Guillaume Maria d'Agostino was born in [[Toubourg]], [[Yonderre]], on the 11th of February, 1966, as the oldest of four children to mason Nestor d'Agostino and his wife Agathe (née Gabron), a seamstress. The d'Agostino family lived in a middle class neighbourhood on the outskirts of Toubourg and are distantly descended from the [[House of d'Agostino]], one of Yonderre's original noble houses. Guillaume knew from a young age that he wanted to be a career soldier and volunteered for military service when he reached 18 years of age.  
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]].


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.
==Military career==
==Symbols==
Finishing his basic training in 1984, he was assigned to the [[1st Infantry Division (Yonderre)|1st Infantry Division]] as an enlisted rifleman. d'Agostino was soon picked out for his leadership potential and promoted to Sergeant after a brief training stint in 1985. d'Agostino worked his way up to commissioned officer in 1988 when he attained the rank of Lieutenant and attended the [[Yonderian Command and Staff College]] between 1989-1990, graduating with a promotion to Captain. d'Agostino then transferred from the 1st Infantry Division to [[Training Command (Yonderre)|Training Command]], initially as commandant of the relatively modest Saneurst Training Camp, a command he held until 1995 when he transferred to the larger Gouvier Training Camp in [[Vollardie]], again as commandant. With his promotion to Lieutenant Colonel in 2000, d'Agostino transferred to Training Command Staff, Doctrinal Department, where he helped form future training regimes for the YDF.  
[[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.


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.
In 2010 d'Agostino was once more given command of a Training Camp, this time in [[Sainte-Catherine]]. d'Agostino was awarded the [[Order of the Shield|Cross of the Order of the Shield]] in 2010 for his exemplary leadership and work in Training Command. In 2019, co-inciding with his promotion to Colonel General, d'Agostino was awarded the [[Order of Joanus|Knight's Cross of the Order of Joanus]], Yonderre's highest award for leadership. Because of his lengthy service with Training Command, d'Agostino was perceived as an ideal candidate to organize and oversee the training and subsequent combat actions of the fledgling Royal and Confederate Army of [[New Harren]]. d'Agostino was granted administrative furlough from the YDF to travel to [[New Harren]] in early August of 2021 alongside a number of other YDF volunteers, who were then sworn in on September 1st, 2021.  
==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.
Modelled largely on the YDF and working under d'Agostino's keen supervision, the Royal and Confederate Army has been largely centralized from its many local militias into a more modern army, although it still lacks the heavy equipment and numbers to fight offensive wars independently. d'Agostino has established a body akin to the Yonderian [[General Staff (Yonderre)|General Staff]], staffed mainly by Yonderian and other [[LUDC]] officers, whose top ranks are filled by officers handpicked by d'Agostino chiefly from the YDF.
===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.

Prafáti Princeps Glássariaei Guillaume Maria d'Agostino CC MHC GNS OE (born 11 February, 1966) is the commandant of the New Harrenic Royal and Confederate Army, having been designated as such on the creation of the New Harrenic Royal and Confederate Army on September 1st, 2021, by LUDC leadership at the recommendation of Phillip de Stonne, Chief of Defence of the Yonderian Defence Force.

Having previously held commands in the YDF Training Command, d'Agostino was perceived as an ideal candidate to organize and oversee the training and subsequent combat actions of the fledgling Royal and Confederate Army. d'Agostino was granted administrative furlough from the YDF to travel to New Harren in early August of 2021 alongside a number of other YDF volunteers, who were then sworn in on September 1st, 2021. Modelled largely on the YDF and under d'Agostino's supervision, the Royal and Confederate Army has been centralized from its many local militias into a more modern army, although it still lacks the heavy equipment to fight offensive wars independently.

Early life

Guillaume Maria d'Agostino was born in Toubourg, Yonderre, on the 11th of February, 1966, as the oldest of four children to mason Nestor d'Agostino and his wife Agathe (née Gabron), a seamstress. The d'Agostino family lived in a middle class neighbourhood on the outskirts of Toubourg and are distantly descended from the House of d'Agostino, one of Yonderre's original noble houses. Guillaume knew from a young age that he wanted to be a career soldier and volunteered for military service when he reached 18 years of age.

Military career

Finishing his basic training in 1984, he was assigned to the 1st Infantry Division as an enlisted rifleman. d'Agostino was soon picked out for his leadership potential and promoted to Sergeant after a brief training stint in 1985. d'Agostino worked his way up to commissioned officer in 1988 when he attained the rank of Lieutenant and attended the Yonderian Command and Staff College between 1989-1990, graduating with a promotion to Captain. d'Agostino then transferred from the 1st Infantry Division to Training Command, initially as commandant of the relatively modest Saneurst Training Camp, a command he held until 1995 when he transferred to the larger Gouvier Training Camp in Vollardie, again as commandant. With his promotion to Lieutenant Colonel in 2000, d'Agostino transferred to Training Command Staff, Doctrinal Department, where he helped form future training regimes for the YDF.

In 2010 d'Agostino was once more given command of a Training Camp, this time in Sainte-Catherine. d'Agostino was awarded the Cross of the Order of the Shield in 2010 for his exemplary leadership and work in Training Command. In 2019, co-inciding with his promotion to Colonel General, d'Agostino was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Order of Joanus, Yonderre's highest award for leadership. Because of his lengthy service with Training Command, d'Agostino was perceived as an ideal candidate to organize and oversee the training and subsequent combat actions of the fledgling Royal and Confederate Army of New Harren. d'Agostino was granted administrative furlough from the YDF to travel to New Harren in early August of 2021 alongside a number of other YDF volunteers, who were then sworn in on September 1st, 2021.

Modelled largely on the YDF and working under d'Agostino's keen supervision, the Royal and Confederate Army has been largely centralized from its many local militias into a more modern army, although it still lacks the heavy equipment and numbers to fight offensive wars independently. d'Agostino has established a body akin to the Yonderian General Staff, staffed mainly by Yonderian and other LUDC officers, whose top ranks are filled by officers handpicked by d'Agostino chiefly from the YDF.
