Dieland
It is a small island near Thailand with a population less
than 5000 people. The whole society is under a matriarchic system.
As women are highly respected, the boys are taught to act like a
woman under traditional education. As a result, no matter young
or old, the male are woman-like. Moreover, when the male reach 18,
they have a ceremony in which each of them needs to do an operation
so as to become a woman. Therefore, transvestites are very common.
Although their most favorite sport is volleyball, as the government
has paid many efforts on promoting the development of football,
the level of the soccer players has been up to the world class level
in the recent years. |

Mount Crane
It is situated on a remote mountain hidden 10 miles away
from China, named Mount Crane. Living on the mineral springs in
the mountain, the people there are so long-lived that the elderly
are often believed to be as energetic as their grandchildren are
- while this is obviously only a rumor. There is, however, one side-effect,
which is, those who take the water tend to nag about everything.
This tendency is further encouraged by the fact that most of the
people there are educated and are followers of theories. Therefore,
forums on football are regularly held after each match, so that
everyone has a chance to argue with others. This habit of arguing
can also be seen during the football matches. |

Cocainia
It is a small country in South America, with its neighboring
countries such as Columbia and Cuba. As drug dealers and drug addicts
are everywhere in the region, the environment has been polluted
and poisoned. Experiments have even proved that the water in the
country contains some substances of cocaine and marijuana. Although
no evidence has yet been proved, the health of its people is believed
to have been destroyed. As a result, its people always look as if
they themselves are heavily drug-addicted. Its players are some
good examples - they often stumble over themselves during the competition
and their response is evidently the slowest among other teams.

Helland
It is an island near Japan in South-east
Asia. Well-known for their high-principled attitudes, its people
believe that they are able to combine aikido with soccer game. Therefore,
they always try to train themselves hard in order to be the best
soccer players in the world - although the result has not been known
to the world yet. Moreover, they are often commented as self-opinioned,
while they believe they are only strong-willed. This attitude is
obviously shown in matches where the players often try their best
to barge their way through their opponents - though they fail most
of the time. One point should be noted: they are the worst shooters
among other teams. |

Mephitis
It is a small country in Western
Europe, claiming itself to be more professional and skilful at producing
perfumes than France is. Because of this belief, its people prefer
using perfumes than taking a bath. As a result, the overuse of perfumes
with the mixture of the body odor creates a strong smell of fetor.
Thus, it is also well-known as City of Stench. Due to the effluvium
emitted from the people, flies and cockroaches are attracted and
tamed as the pets of the people as well as the comrades of its soccer
players during matches. The tour de force of the soccer players
is thus flies attack which disturbs their "enemy", making
it a formidable special attack. Other special attacks include farting
and spitting.

Mafia
It is a city in Mediterranean Sea
notorious for its ultra-violence and criminal affairs. Strong-muscled
and easily recognized with the tattoos all over their bodies, all
of its people belong to the flagrant Black Hand, with the Fisticuff
Law and Demonism as their religions. Instead of being trained on
the skill in passing, tackling and making goals, its soccer players
are taught to stop their opponents with foul plays such as elbowing,
giving kicks and crushing. Their amok look is also one of the special
attacks which fears their opponents who dare not to defense. Their
savageness has, therefore, made their soccer players the most horrible
team in the world with the record of having the most frequent mayhem
and violent acts in the soccer history.

Trickagoal
A small tribe, with its infamy
of kleptomania and trickery, is located in North America. Its people
are characterized by their furtive look and speech. Originated in
Europe, this tribe was forced to move to the region under the purge
by Adolf Hilter during WWII. To survive, the ancestors then successfully
bought the region with the money they won by tricking in the casino
in Las Vegas. This tradition of trickery, together with other vices
such as spitting to the opponents, can still be seen in the soccer
matches. In order to score a goal, the soccer players always use
all methods you may think of, no matter how dirty and mean these
methods are.
